That is a rig!

 

[just dave]

Do you switch back to tubes in the winter?

 

[stereorob]

yes i switch back to tube gear during winter!!

my winter system uses about 15 different tube type stereo receivers. lol

 

[Tromatic]

You use all that gear at once? More power to you, but it sounds like sonic hash to me!

 

[Numistrek09]

You live in south Fla with no ac!!?? HOW?? And how do you keep your gear in good shape with all that humidity?

I was thinking the same thing.

I tried spending the summer in St. Louis in a 3rd-floor walkup apartment with no A/C, just to see how things were when my grandmother grew up in the 20s and 30s. I made it to July 1 before a window unit went in - and StL is a far cry from south Florida.

 

[jimfet]

Id get me an AC.

 

[Cogsinister]

If you can afford the power bill for all that great gear you can afford to run an A/C unit !!!
