    I was in the hospital for the last month recovering from a brain tumor. YES, that explains alot :) My room was packed up and the 30y old carpet was replaced with tile and painted, etc. Audio was packed up in bins. I assembled this simple system in the last couple of days. I could probably do 4 whole systems but wanted to keep it simple. Sadly I forgot a lot of what I was doing so just getting this working is a win.

        Thanks Man! It helps me to know people are rooting for me. Audio has some of the best people! Lots of work ahead but I am confident that one day I will be better than when I had the tumor!

      D, I am so very happy to see you around again!
      
      I kind of missed some of those loose bolts in that head of yours :). Let's hope the doctors were not dumb enough to remove THOSE!!!
      
      Seriously, best wishes and prayers for your speedy recovery.

        Thanks J!!!!
        
        Its good to be back and have some time for audio, even if its only headphones. Talk about some lose bolts!! Did you see the brushes under the components? That tripped out my buddy and sis who packed up my room. Why does this guy have so many brushes they asked. Anyhow Amazon has the brushes, its basically a push broom with out the handle and a wooden top and bristles. Put the components on the bristles and enjoy. Cheap and effective.
        
        Anyhow thanks for the wishes and enjoy life!!!

          There you go again, good! LOL! Something tells me that a revised picture of the one he posted above will be forthcoming from OG42 shortly after Amazon delivers the goods. :)

            Hey J,
            Thanks for the laugh!!
            I really like to tinker!! I have 4 sets of footers I rotate every once in a while when I get the notion. My modest system is always in flux, as I am trying to get all I can out of it.
            
            Again, thanks for the laugh and stay healthy!!!

            lmao!! He may already have them!!! The idea came from another inmate but I forget who he was. Any how he was using small brushes as footers. Like cuticle brushes. Before I had homemade rollerballs and then I think I hung the gear from kevlar thread so it could move freely. All pretty unpractical. So the brushes were a winner and sound great...

              Hey DR,
              The name of the nice inmate that gave you and I the brush tip is Moray James.
              As I told J, I really like to tinker.
              
              Wishing the best for you!!!

                Yeah he is great. Though iirc he was using brushes like footers, like 3 small ones. I was doing that but its easier to just use the big ones. Hopefully they sound the same!
                
                Magwire and brushes, oh my! I will be fine!

                  Moray also mentioned red 3M scuff pads cut in strips and rolled up with glue on the inside.

                    Oh, great! I just found a ton of my discarded toothbrushes. Let me see if 60 pounds of power amp can be held up, for a more cheerful sound. :)

        Thanks Old guy 42!
        
        I am super fortunate! It wasn't cancerous and I am getting better each day. I am super fortunate for first rate care and family. The one complaint is they left my personality intact....was hoping the melonballer would have scooped out some of the weird :)

        Thanks for the wishes G Squared. I am expecting a long road but yes, a full recovery. Thanks for starting this thread and posting your rig. Looking good. Hopefully we will get more picts from inmates especially since AA is like the only forum that lets you post picts without a hosting site...

    NICE!!
    
    I would have ordered the black in 2016 for the Valhalla2 had it been available.
    
    Enjoy..
