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?

@thecarpathian Thank you, I take it as a compliment. 

I joined a new project and team 2 years ago with about 30 people, all from a small-ish town in Michigan. I'd make jokes all the time, in chats, in person, big meetings and small and 9 out of 10 times I still get frozen faces and/or polite "what you do mean"s. A few of them now get it (they don't laugh) and blush for me, they understand it's incurable.  

I am sorry devil

 

Bitcoin is probably the only responsible insurance instrument. My audio equipment loses value quickly in comparison. If you can find cheaper less box count solutions take your extra equity and store it in bitcoin. It wont burn rust or be devalued by inflation.
