A funny thing happened on the way to the forum....

The strangest thing happened on the highway today. I was following a nondescript white moving truck and noticed the door was loose on it.
At that very moment a pile of gear came tumbling out of the rear. I immediately pulled a Hooper bootleg manuever and slammed it into reverse at about 65. The timing was critical so that I could catch all the gear in the bed of my truck. I missed a couple things and after they hit the pavement, they weren't worth stopping for anymore. I continued in reverse and when I passed the driver of the truck, I gave him the finger and took the exit on two wheels. That was unplanned and a little hairy.
The craziest thing is that the tube amp didn't lose any of the bias adjustements and only one tube was loose. I got back home and took stock of what I "caught".....
2(NIB) Audio Research SP16L Tube Pre-Amplifiers & 1 Audio Research VS110 Tube Amplifier.
I regret not saving more of that stuff but feel pretty fortunate. I think I'll make some herb planters out of them.

FedEx promised me that stuff was out for delivery and would be delivered to my house by 3:00. No wonder it's late! :mad:

I dunno ..... that VS110 tube amp is only rated at 110 wpc ...... I guess you could hook it up to a small set of bookshelf speakers.
I hate to see you ruin a set of bookshelf speakers, though; I think that toaster has pretty high THD by today's sand standards.
Wait a second, I just thought of something !
Why not ...... yes, this might just work ..... you might go ahead and put it up for .... yes ! ... a CP Kharma !!
Yes, that might just work ! That way, you wouldn't have that junk sitting around, cluttering up the joint during the holiday seasons.
What a great idea, and ..... uh ........ well ..... aw, crap, this isn't going to work.
Congratulations.

I meant that I was on the way to here Ricardo
I figured we haven't had a WCW III moment in awhile and some blatant gloating was in order. The difference is that I'm not keeping any of it since I have a boom box to listen to.
