Physically awkward components...

I have a Bel Canto DAC and even though I really like it, its design is somewhat of a pain for me. I wish all connectors were on the same side of the unit, but they are not. Getting all the cables together is such a pain in the rear.

Anyone else have similar problems with other components?

You crack me up green man!! I always had the Kwai Chang Caine thing in the back of my head too! "...snatch the Shakti Stones from my hand young Gunbei and it will be time for you to leave...."

I've got this isolation platform in my work system. It is a laboratory grade isolation platform from a physics lab made from steel and lead which fortunately comes in two separate parts. It has four small shock absorbers as legs. It holds my preamp and my CD player. It weighs in at over 300 lbs!!! It is affectionately known by my friends who've helped me move it at one time or another as "The Widow-Maker".

Gumby dammit - I still have the bolts, and I was never so daft as to actually place them on the top of the bare neked component.....well, that is after the first time! They have both taken up prop duty and have been recently replaced by other unusual heavy metal objects I have hanging around the studio. Gotta circulate the fun! The weight leaves a nice indentation in the top cover where other heavy objects can sit without fear of an earthquake (here in Seattle) shaking them loose.

I don't think the expression on David Carradine's face ever changed much at all as I recall, no matter what he was doing. Kind'a made you wanna' slap the dude sometimes. I think he was in a perpetual opium coma..that's the only way he could get a grip on that Plinius like that!
