Has your gear ever hurt you???


It seems that every piece of equipment I buy now a days weighs a ton! My speakers are 200lbs each and my monoblocks are 150lbs each!!! Each time I try to move them I swear I feel a hernia coming on. I am also always afraid I am going to drop something. And in true audiophile fashion, I imagine how I would contort my body to protect my beloved gear if the unthinkable was to happen. Fortunately for me, I have never had to sacrifice my body for my gear but I know the day is coming (too many late night re-arrangments). Actually, I gave myself a deep gash on my leg as I was walking over my amps the other day. Even though the Pass Labs amps look great, those heat sinks can be absolutely deadly!! Why do the things we love so much also hurt us so????

So, I am wondering if anyone else has been hurt by their gear in one way or another.

Everytime I change cables on my Eagle 4 I end up hurting my hands on those blasted heat sinks! NOT an ergonomic design...
Dropped a Jolida CDP remote on my toe once. That remote is heavy! Still have a bruised toenail.
Too many times hauling subs, speakers etc. up and down between the listening room and the garrage/outside. I made peace with my ego about two months ago and purchased a quality hand truck. I will become a wussy-man and use the truck rather than be a man's man with a bad back. I don't plan on losing my health for this hobby.
By the way, if anyone works out, when it comes time for the leg press, use the 100# plates and as you transfer them to the press you'll accustom yourself to hauling components at that weight. Have to agree, though, that as I age the appeal of lightweight class D amps grows...
I've lacerated my hands on Krell and Levinson gear. I've been laid up for days at a time with herniated disc problems after schlepping monoblock amps. And EVERY time I re-configure my system, I have battle scars from the wrestling match with CABLES. You guys know what I mean. Twisting and turning python-sized cables while trying to maneuver behind a stationary audio rack. I have so little room behing my rack that I have to wrestle the cable with one hand while grasping a flashlite with the other hand, the whole time playing a cruel game of Twister around the monoblocks and speakers and other unyielding obstacles. Whoever says audiophiles don't get exercise has never installed components!
