Snow Federation, Side II

We got another 14 inches this evening, and it is supposed to snow in the Denver area all night and an even heavier snow is due to hit again tomorrow, as I understand it.

It is a little windy, which is good, from my perspective, as it shakes the snow off the trees before it can get too heavy, before the weight causes the tree limbs to break and take out the power. This is a heavier snow than last time, and the lights have flickered several times.

Power is a nice thing on a snowy night like this….let me tell you.

Still, I think we’ll go unplug all the gear,… hate for a spike to come through here….

Hope all you other locals are doing OK … and of course all you lucky enough to be having a NORMAL holiday… 🙂

I guess all of this is kind of fun, in a “now we’re really in for it, let’s see what happens!” kind of way….

and

AN-La25/BW speaker cable

SOGON15/XLR-AN-P interconnect

Kind of going in the affordable direction this show – interesting to see how that works out.

We have the reviewers who eschew anything in the top half of the price range (mostly online reviewers), and those that prefer to write about the best and only the best, mostly in the print magazines. And Audio Note does really well at both extremes, which should mean that ALL of them should be writing about Audio Note equipment, right? 🙂
