Not sure but it just occurred to me that I never (at least that I can remember) posted a picture of my rig in the forum.
Please no comments about sound panels, etc., - my modest rig was upstairs years ago and the wife was gone on a weeklong business trip. I took the opportunity to donate some furniture, bring it downstairs and painted the entire room to include trim. When she came home, she said, "what's that" and I said what do you mean? She said those two things in the corner of the room (bass traps). I said bass traps and she said, "that's a no go." Well, placed them back into their boxes and hauled them up to the 3d floor walkup attic where they sit to this day & so does my rig- in the living room.
Happy wife, happy life.
Well, it's gone through many iterations over the last few months - and have a few more changes coming within I hope the next month.
