@grislybutter , I give you credit for trying.
What would you save in a fire?
Had the unpleasant experience of the Palisades fire nearly burning my house down. As in, I left driving through a firestorm and when I returned all except the actual structure was blackened. I then had to choose what to take with me before fire makes it way back the other side of the hill (which it’s doing now) and stuff my car. I was able to take about 300 out of 10k records, 2 turntables (one that is 250 lbs and almost gave me a hernia), my DAC, 2 phonostages… but had to leave my Aleph 1.2 monoblocks and speakers. Although I did also save 4 TAD woofers, 2 compression drivers, 2 horns and tweeters. I left everything else, spare a shirt and underwear.
I know it sounds materialistic or petty, but the music means everything to me. My wife saved 20 pairs of shoes haha. My question for you is… if you had to choose quickly, what would you save? Would your system make the cut?

+10, @grislybutter . @awboat , you have your priorities in order. Personally, I would be most concerned about my dogs. |
@grislybutter , that would not be possible, although it is what I strive for. |
@aewarren , was it truly that difficult to read this
and deduce that the author was not being at all serious? Even with the "to be serious" preface? I am only asking because I am actually curious. |
I wouldn't have thought that you were being serious, @aewarren , if that's what you mean. |
I actually got a bit of a chuckle, @grislybutter , when I first read your post that stirred up a separate discussion aside from the OP. However, that was probably just the leftist in me coming out. I would also admit that stuff frequently flies right over my head. But with that last sentence typed, I don’t know that anything as obvious as the reference to female firefighters who sleep with other females that are stealing water has ever whistled past me. I couldn’t help but concoct an amusing (completely nonsexual) visual from that one. |
I can relate, @grislybutter . I guess congratulations are in order, @p05129 ; someone had to do it sooner or later.

@p05129 , is your Tourette syndrome acting up again? |
. . . or bad acid.
