| The Lair is the key thing in my enjoyment of life. It has my turntable, my stereo, my records...and music is my high. Rock N' Roll for life. I don't mind some opinions, but this place may not look like much, but the stereo packs a hellacious punch. Size doesn't matter with these components. The speakers are 80's Acoustics Research...up there with Klipsch back then. You may say...this ain't the 80's...but these babies are better than most speakers today. The receivers...stainless steel is out you say? Fuck that...these awesome little metal boxes pump some light juice into these speakers, enough to produce a noise complaint with a cop visit. Vinyl sucks ass you might say...KISS MY ASS! Vinyl may be five times the size of CDs, but it sounds so, so much better. I use cds for the loud stuff, but I always put on a good ole classic rock record when I want quality sound. Onto the pictures and the descriptions. |

| Back to The Junkyard |
 |
| Angle View of all the main equipment. You can see my 10" subwoofer. I need something better to power it than the Realistic STA-720. |
 |
| A close-up view of the 10" subwoofer. It handles 600 watts max, and its impedance is 4 Ohms. |
 |
| A close-up of the two receivers. The top one is the Realistic STA-720, the lower is the more powerful Sony STR-6055. The STA is from 1981, while the STR is from 1973. |
 |
| A very bad picture of my X Box and my PS2. |
 |
| A close-up of my Pioneer PL-3000 Turntable, a very, very high quality piece of equipment. It's from 1983. In this picture, Paranoid by Black Sabbath is playing. |
 |
| My record collection. I have 73 albums as of now. |
 |
| One of my rear channels. It is made by a company called Roadmaster. Not the bike company. These were $25 dollars a pair, and sound incredibly good. Not as good as the front channel AR's, but for 25 dollars, extremely awesome. They handle 300 watts a piece, and they have horn tweeters! |
 |
| My very comfortable queen-size bed. Huge. The bed spread is cool looking, my friends call it "The Pimp's Bed." I don't know why, 'cause I definately ain't a pimp. |
 |
| Close-up of the AR's without the cover. They look like shit, but the 8" woofer puts out awesome bass, and the horn tweeter and the woofer make it sound like a brand new Klipsch 3-way. |
| The wiring. The hell of all wiring. I have two power strips completely full. There's so much wiring, I have to organize it every once in a while because I can't get in their to move something around. |
 |
 |
| My huge, heavy-as-Hell dresser...solid wood. My car collection, and my Corvette poster on the right. |
| A blurry picture of my cigar box collection. Don't ask. That whole cabinet smells of tobacco and cedar. I sometimes open it just for the smell. Ahhhhh... |
 |
 |
| My Extra speaker pile. A sony 8", a JBL 8", a GPX 6.5", 4 GPX midranges, 2 JBL PC speakers, a 10" woofer box, 2 KLH midrange/tweeters, and a Sharp 4" sub. |
| My stereo at night. I have 3 blacklights in the picture, but one is turned off. The other one is above my bed. I have a 24" above my bed, a 28" on the left of my tower, and 2 12" blacklights on the tower. |
 |
| My turntable at night under its blacklight. God I love vinyl. |
