Alex's Stereo stuff

Well, never had the need to make my own thread for this before due to the lack of equipment, but now I have some stuffs to talk about. I will update the first post whenever I get something new.

First I will list my stuff, and will post photos as I take them:

Sunfire TGA-2375 AKA I-Mag
Logitech Squeezebox
Carver TX-2 (not used nor do I know where it is)
Carver AL III+'s with JL 10W3 woofers
Prototype Sunfire CRS-3 loudspeakers
Prototype CRM-2 (wood grain finish with silver faceplates, no woofers or crossover)
Prototype "Postage Stamp" Sunfire Subwoofer
Prototype Sunfire True Sub plate amp
Single Sunfire "Super Junior" woofer and enclosure (no plate amp or passive driver)
CARVERaudio Directional RCA interconnects
RCA-Headphone jack for iPod & iPhone
