My Worst Nightmare

I came home from giving my girlfriend a lift to work this morning and heard a strange noise from the living room. I ran in to discover water cascading from an on wall "Mr. Slim" indoor air conditioning unit onto my stereo. I naturally freaked, pulled my whole rack to the other side of the room and then surveyed the damage. Not too bad actually. I'm in the midst of an amp trade, and despite bemoaning the lack of an amp the night before, the empty bottom shelf is where most of the water fell. The only casualty if any may be my Chang Lightspeed 3200, which was fairly well doused. But all in all, I got lucky. What's the worst thing that ever happened to your system?

"They took the large boat anchor that was once my TV, carried it down some stairs and through a wooded lot, and at some effort. Small consolation, but it just made me smile."

That's so funny. Kind of reminds me when my Eclipse CD player was stolen from my car. I guess they didn't know that once the power supply is cut, it will won't ever turn on again without a "key" CD. It didn't weigh a fifty pounds, though, so your story is way better.

Remember a ways back I was telling you 'bout the Audio Magic line. Maybe this is gods way of getting you to can the Chang and rethink some powerful power conditioning. Glad it was only your Chang. It's time to move up to something (even if you don't go with AM) serious. peace, warren

Cooking all the output devices in a Dynaco Stereo 120 while driving two pairs of A-25's to sublime levels in a pretty big dormitory lounge. The upside: the dynamics in Holst's the Planets will forever hold a special memory.

Warrenh,
I might upgrade my power source if I wasn't switching amps every 5 minutes! Good news, new amps arrive today, the Chang seems fine :), and the AC is fixed! I guess there's something to be said for keeping a positive attitude!

My girlfriend played Meat Loaf on my Epos 11s and they never sounded the same. But seriously, sorry to hear about the tragedy. Good luck.
