What's the stupidest thing you ever did with your gear?

Maybe not the stupidest, but something really dumb. I'll start: This happened last night. After plugging an integrated amp into the system the night before and leaving wires around after removing it, I put everything back together and fired up the gear. No left channel. Dang! But that had happened last week and touching the ic fixed it. So I tugged a little on the left ic. Nothing. Dang! The ic has gone bad. I grabbed another pair of ic's, swapped them, and turned everything back on. Nothing. Wow, I must have blown something. Hmm. Are the tubes bad in the left monoblock? Because there's no friendly orange glow. What's this plug sitting here that leads to the amp? Oh, yeah. Maybe I should plug in the amp. They always seem to work better that way. I had unplugged the left monoblock so the integrated could be plugged in. Did I feel dumb? But I was still relieved that the ic's weren't bad. Next? |

I still wish I kept the LP's. |
There are a couple of places I can think of but I'll guess, posted on September 1, 2002 at 11:31:06 | |
Big Rock as I think it's pretty far away from anything. Am I within range? |

But I did lose a major part of my LP collection in a basement flood. Cried for days. All that beautiful album cover art! Waaah. |
Funnily enough, I still have the uniplegic Dynavector, in mint condition (stylus notwithstanding), posted on September 2, 2002 at 03:12:27 | |

Too bad it's probably true. |
