Physically awkward components...

I find drawers that are off center irritating. Many shelves have side posts that wrap towards the front of the shelf and manage to obstruct off center drawers from opening.

Gumby dammit - I still have the bolts, and I was never so daft as to actually place them on the top of the bare neked component.....well, that is after the first time! They have both taken up prop duty and have been recently replaced by other unusual heavy metal objects I have hanging around the studio. Gotta circulate the fun! The weight leaves a nice indentation in the top cover where other heavy objects can sit without fear of an earthquake (here in Seattle) shaking them loose.

I don't think the expression on David Carradine's face ever changed much at all as I recall, no matter what he was doing. Kind'a made you wanna' slap the dude sometimes. I think he was in a perpetual opium coma..that's the only way he could get a grip on that Plinius like that!

HOw about the arrangement of the IEC, input RCAs and binding posts all on one side of the Berning ZH-270, with the IEC in the middle, separated by about 12" from the RCA on one side, and the binding post on the other? Have not yet figured out how to get speaker cables with spades hooked up on the right channel, w/o the positive passing above the IEC and the negative below. Talk about a conflict! And the little sucker weighs only 15 lbs- easy to pick it straight up w/ any heavy gauge cord. But it sounds terrific, so I guess all is forgiven.

Actaully, jsut was hooking it up, and the binding posts are in the middle. With heavy gauge speaker cables w/spades, the RCAs are in the way of the right channel speaker cable and the AC cord is in the way of the left.

Something else: Naim equipment. Doesn't ring a bell? They do things their own way, which is amdirable, but this DIN-connections.....
