Vinyl Rob and his bag o' vinyl.
Dgjowo and Punker X's room. With the always delightful Altecs.

A few of Kegger and Squidwards fine amps.
The McIntosh room. (What! No turntable?)

Notice of course the tiny but ubiquitous Sony XDRF1-HD up in the left corner of Punker's rig! I'll bet those Altecs sounded righteous!

Kwing Lee enjoys Bogdan's speakers.
Morning Star Audio, with the tremendous Eastern Electric amps.

Thanks for sharing, Ed, for those of us who couldn't be there. The stands on the Bogdan Audio Creations Catalinas are about the coolest thing I've ever seen.
