    I do....my favorite way to listen actually. When you close your eyes your senses focus more on what's available, like your hearing. Same principle as if you were a blind person, you lose one sense and the others compensate.

    LOL... if I did that, two mins later you'd hear me snoring, any quite time I get ends up with that here lately....

    My favorite way to listen is WAAAY TO LOUD while holding Scarlett (the 1 year old baby) and dancing while Skye is busy flailing her arms around singing at the top of her lungs.

    He likes blue, it appears.

    Actually, in full disclosure, I really like the look of blue LEDs myself. Even bright ones. They were initially exotic (when blue LEDs were hard to make and expensive), quickly became passe -- but I still like 'em.

    I am a sucka for blue.

    He may have allowed you to see the 2 small rigs but no way in he77 he let you step foot in the room where the Big Rig resides. Not sure even if his look alike, Jerry Garcia, would be allowed in this room.

    The set up is not ideal but I have to live with it for now. We have a huge leather l shaped sectional on the long interior wall. The wife does not like the idea for me moving it at this time. I will win the battle eventually. This is my basement and play area. It is what it is for now. LOL

    What am I looking at in the photo? It looks like a Cary 2-piece preamp. Not sure about the amp or the TT or the speakers.

    NOW you're starting to look like my buddy's shop! (Although, they have 1 BIG room like that that all the Magico/ProAc/JBL Everest/K2/other high dollar products reside in and then like 6 more of that size. Hehe)
