Just to be clear hereCouldn't agree more. I have one life. I have insurance. A lot of things can't be replaced, but they are... things. I'd grab the dog, maybe a duffel bag of clothes, my passport and wallet and get the heck out of dodge. Better to live to rebuild and get all the old toys replaced with new ones than the alternative.
Audio is one of the last things that would enter my head in that situation.
All material possessions that can be replaced, your life cannot.
Think fast: What would you take?
I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires.
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those.
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.
