Why thank you.
 
Its my pride and joy Sansui G-9000. I always tell people that if my house catches fire im only grabbing 2 things, my dog and my Sansui.
But both coming in at 60 pounds each that will take some doing.
 
I was using it in a quadrophonic setup but the room its in really isn't setup for it. Nowadays it spends its time pounding music through a pair of polk monitor 70 II floor speakers.
Got to love the 70's stereo wars. Rated 160 watts per ch but equipment was often underrated then. Would not surprise me if it were much more. Ive never taken it past 60 on the volume from fear of ears bleeding.
 
Sounds beautiful and looks the part.

Looking through some old boxes at my parents house, I came up with this frankenstein trophy-headphone stand:
(I do not yet have image upload privileges *sigh*... so here are links to images in my dropbox)
 
***moved images and now links are broken... I will try and fix in the future. to give you an idea I reassembled 4 or 5 old hockey trophies into a cross-shaped headphone stand. Complete with neck-type medals as the cup rests. Took, probably an hour to figure out this was possible, and another hour to make it.***

This may not appeal to everyone, but I thought it was a pretty good way to up-cycle my old childhood trophies just sitting in a box in the basement of my parent's house. It also saved me 30$+ I can now put aside for more new equipment.

That looks great! Functional and sentimental at the same time.

Interesting never new that was that dogs name till now, I learned some thing new today. I had a dog named nipper when i grew up and we called him that for the same reason.he liked to nip at your legs when he was a pup. Made for some awkward moments at a park thou, bunch of Asians  thought i was talking to them and wanted to beat me for calling my dog.

The dogs inspired me! I couldn't get a third pair of headphones onto my stand and Mr. Potatoehead was just sitting on my desk. now he's jammin, though a little bit short to be a stormtrooper :p
