You forgot to go right back to manuals after Aegir 2.Limited Edition Sine Wave(TM)
Love it!!!Limited Edition Sine Wave(TM)
I did write the 'for all eternity' sarcastically. Nothing lasts forever especially digital data. I heard about the Archives legal trouble awhile ago and wondered if it would survive, so far so good.
Well that certainly helps to explain the labels on all of your products/remotes.(Minimalist>Normal Person>Enthusiast>Collectoritis>Hoarder)
I'm to the left of minimalist on that spectrum.
When placing "fragile" stickers on your beloved package, keep in mind that may be interpreted as "drop with both hands"As someone who does shipping & receiving for a living, $300 is high. Shipping amps not in their original boxes isnāt too difficult. If theyāre heavy, the key is to double box. Start by enveloping the amp in lots of bubble wrap and heavy duty shipping tape. Like at least 3-4ā around every side. Pack that into a tight-fitting box. Tape it up and put that box into a larger box with a couple more inches of bubble wrap around the inner box. Tape all seams and maybe even around all sides. Make it as tight fitting as possible because these boxes will get tossed and dropped. It might seem like overkill but itās more likely to survive the trip this way.

When I took my maggies to White Bear Lake to get them re built , The guy who checked them in yelled to the other employees "hey guys..check out the original box!"Packing up just last week, I put the receiver I bought in 1977 back in its original box. Hoarder? Well, it's cardboard. My precious.
Like @corndog71 , I'm admittedly OCD when it comes to audio component boxes. I save them all. I've been known to move around a lot, and having the original boxes has provided much value...for me. Plus I've been fortunate to always have room to store them without having to keep them in a stack in the middle of the living room floor. But the shipping boxes for everything else are discarded, and always recycled when possible. I'll therefore claim to be a Minimalist Hoarder.
Cangle, really like the headphones you have as your avatar pic. Great colors!I've been called out . Think I mentioned this on SBAF at one point but found out that it worked from @ethr with their CA-1A.
It's how I like to run my SR-1b:
I have a matching speaker amp to headphone adapter, it's just not setup in this picture.
But there's no noise floor and the sound is great. Been running it like this for close to a year now without any issue.
Unlikely to fail. It's a well supported charity.You are then relying on a third-party supplier that could also fold. And in fact may be taken down sooner than later if the movie and music cartels are successful in their ongoing legal challenges.

You are leaving a part of your tube collection [hoard] for me to pick up? It is 6 hours from Dixie to Hotlanta, but I will help you depart in style.Packing up just last week, I put the receiver I bought in 1977 back in its original box. Hoarder? Well, it's cardboard. My precious.

That brisket should make a Texan envious!Itās been too longā¦ must have BBQ! (And REAL BBQ as we all knowā¦)
BBQ done RIGHT, first while in Mass, second (same pit) while in TXā¦ two pork butts, to racks of baby backs, and one tasty brisket (with salmon fillets in the cooler up stack to the left)ā¦ and a gratuitous red-ringed brisketā¦
PS; @Jason Stoddard the final pic is what the master bedroom of the house we bought 2 years ago here in NH looked like. The woman was being committed by her family as she had a very serious case of āHoarderism mental illnessāā¦ that picture was AFTER she had āmoved outā (the entire house was disgusting, showers where packed with stuff, we didnāt know HOW she even bathed, crap was piled 5 feet high in all the rooms, etc.)
So yeah, collecting things like records, books, wine, etc is NOT āhoardingā
Did I say that? Dang. And I haven't even hit the Buffalo Trace yet. Perhaps this memory/old age correlation I read about somewhere (just can't remember where) is real?You are leaving a part of your tube collection [hoard] for me to pick up?
