I had a Beard Audio P35 for a little while a few years back. It was warming up nicely when I went to make a cup of tea. When I returned there was a very strange smell and a few of the valves were glowing bright orange! It transpired that one of my moggies had bloody pissed on it !! :lol: :lol:

My kitty uses the speakers as a base for jumping to shelves higher on...

Luckily I've had metal grills made so none of the drivers can get damaged in the process - and there have been a few occasions where he would have riped them apart probably.

He's lost interest in crawling behind the amps and playing with the LS5 cables though :)

It's matter of some pride that we have a man more intelligent than professor Cox as a member of this forum.

Two weeks now since i was fortunate enough for the Blue Cross to present me with this maladjusted moggie..

Image

She's a real handful and hasn't had the best of life thus far, but i'll do the best i can to make her life infinitely better :mrgreen:
As for "cats & Hi-Fi" she genuinely loves music and can be found sticking her daft head in one of the speaker ports :shock:
Unfortunately she doesnt have a new name yet, i was thinking of "Dusty" but not sure it suits?
Any ideas are welcome :guiness;
