Soooo....I got my Algorhythm Solo yesterday. Today I've got some down time at work so I pull out my rig: Solo, Headstage Arrow 3g, 7th gen classic 160, IE8's - I got it all set up nicely on the arm of my chair, got a 2ft iPod cable coming out to hook up to my iPhone and I stand up to check on something.........the @#%in' cable is caught on my pants & SMACK!!! it hit's the floor. My heart sank.....just like the day I bought my first car and rear-ended someone within the first hour. Luckily for me I had the rig in the Black Star bag I got with it, so I pull it out of the bag to inspect it- nothing - phew - so as I roll it back into the bag, I DROP IT AGAIN!! This time sans protection. Luckily it's only a couple of feet drop onto carpet, all good- what an idiot I'm thinking. I'm painfully careful & protective when it comes to my gear, but inevitably I end up doing something like that. Anyway, my pulse rate's back to normal now and I'm wondering if others have painful tales of woe given the "portable" nature of portable rigs?
