On Christmas morning a few years back I was playing Christmas music for backround music while opening presents,when we all heard a snap and looked outside to see the Transformer on fire on the telephone pole in front of my house.By the time I realized anything there was smoke coming from my stereo room and lo and behold my Audio Research SP-8 was smoking like a barbeque. It also cooked a few others electronics of my neighbors too...Thank God for Insurance "Riders". I was covered completely and got my purchase price refunded.
My Worst Nightmare
I came home from giving my girlfriend a lift to work this morning and heard a strange noise from the living room. I ran in to discover water cascading from an on wall "Mr. Slim" indoor air conditioning unit onto my stereo. I naturally freaked, pulled my whole rack to the other side of the room and then surveyed the damage. Not too bad actually. I'm in the midst of an amp trade, and despite bemoaning the lack of an amp the night before, the empty bottom shelf is where most of the water fell. The only casualty if any may be my Chang Lightspeed 3200, which was fairly well doused. But all in all, I got lucky. What's the worst thing that ever happened to your system?
