What A Drag It Is Getting Old

The other day, I was listening to some CDs and then decided to put on a record. I turned the selector knob on my Audio Note OTO to “phono”, which is to the left of “cd” and no sound. I thought maybe it was a dirty contact, so I turned the selector back to cd and then to “aux” in hopes of cleaning the switch. Lo and behold- the record played on “aux”!  Impossible. An aux input doesn’t have enough gain for a phono cartridge, but there it was. I called my dealer and he said to bring it in on Monday. OK. Later that day I decided to try again and I realized something. The selector on the OTO is on the bottom of the knob, so turning the knob to the left towards “phono” is actually moving the indicator on the bottom to the right towards “aux”.  Turning the knob to the right towards “aux” moves the selector on the bottom to the left to “phono”.  I’ve owned this amp for 2 years and I just forgot. As I said- WHAT A DRAG IT IS GETTING OLD.

so many of us "older" folks can certainly relate to this...i do things like this everyday, memory loss is very scary when older, .....but I'm always reminded of what someone told me many years ago....

"the only thing worse than getting old is not getting old"

....so many of us never had the chance to "get old"... we're all so lucky to be alive at any age..... but wow, I never thought getting older would be this hard at times.... that's for sure!....luckily i can still hear well enough to enjoy my tunes and appreciate my system's high level of fidelity that took so many, many years to finally realize!
