Bob,

Very cool setup. Didn't you recently add a Bryston BHA-1 to your collection? That is one high tech boat you tool around on?

You have a magnificent headphone system on board ship and have quite a collection of headphones.

I guess you finished your stash of 25 y/o malt!

Esoterically Invincible! That is so cool to be able to keep such a great setup ship shape & I bet it really does keep you in tune.

Nice cabin system Bob!
The most sophisticated gear I brought with me at sea was a portable cd player and various headphone and headphone amp.
How do you deal with the unstable cycle of electricity?

Thanks everyone! My camera is awful, and the pictures show all the crap I have jammed in the shelves for bad seas. When I get to port, I plan on buying a good camera and taking shots with all that stuff removed.

The BHA-1 is new, and I love it. I am shocked at how good it is for the price (at any price). Power is nasty on the ship, but the Shunyata Hydra 8 cleans it up just fine along with very good power cables.
