I have specific background music needs for my morning newspaper reading (classical piano works), and that changes to serious listening here and there throughout the day and night...I turn off the tube amps when out...so my rig gets some serious time every day, which is good since my new Morrow cables still won't be broken in until late December...I'm a retired person, if really a person at all, so I can do whatever the hell I want (especially when my wife is out of town). PARTY!!!
