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?

Mr. Butter:

Pico/Robertson is a safe place, IMO, and as we are just below Fountain Ave I'm fairly confident that we are as well.

However, Mel Gibson started camping out @ our pool (your pool idea) which is just a basic plastic Turtle Pool, located on our back/common area apartment patio, and he refused to leave until I started blasting Klezmer Jazz to that area.

Music RULES!!!

Hmmm, that would be a great thing. Of course, Audiogon has only one font lol

@grislybutter  Just a suggestion: If you are going to make a comment intended to be recognized as sarcastic or even not to be taken seriously, you might not want to begin your sentence with the words, "But to be serious,".
