Getting a new electrical panel for the house.

Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer
You might give this a look. I used it for ripping my CD’s, took a bit to get thru the installation instructions sine they’re translated from German, after that, it was great. https://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ Oops, looks like you're good to go.

I wasn’t sure where to classify this…
maverick, you asked about temporary power for sensitive electronics, or so it seemed to me. The Honda EU series are inverter generators that will provide clean power for those items.

Ridiculous sale
The government makes more money on a gallon of gas than the oil company ever dreamed of. And with zero risk or capital outlay. That's what I call gouging. And as far as decreasing supply, no one is going to top Joe in that department.
