there goes my spare time...

OK, there went my time planning for today... going through the ones I half forgot and more...:D
Of course the 813 is one of my favs. The first I ever bought because of the way it looks.

Western Electric 212E SET Amplifiers with a Playstation controller means only one thing... Playstation 1 CD player! Makes everything in that picture that ever so little more awesome. And it lets me post a link to my second favourite article about the PS1 CD player.

And in a thread related note, I would absolutely love to have either of those large amps in my living room. It not only amplifies music to a greatness, but lights up the room AND heats it also. :rolleyes:

I don't think my wife will agree with getting more amps to reduce the gas bill :p
I should finish the 813/QB2-250 amps to warm up my office though (and keep the kids out...).

The 833 amp in the picture has been upgraded to TB3/2000 outputs some time ago. A lot better looking piece of glass :cool:
