Sandy's Impact on your Listening

How did Sandy impact your listening? For me, days without power provided a sense of value for my music listening.

I have ordered a 20Kw generator w/ a 200 amp transfer switch that runs on NG. This will give us functionality during outages, but I may set it up to be the source of power to my listening room all the time.

Time was spent keeping the wood stove fed, cleaning debris in the neighborhood, and going to work. Power there, so we let people charge up their phones, notebooks and iPods. Also discovered reading for pleasure again and the benefits of going to sleep early every night.

Parts of our area got hit worse than others. Hope you get power back soon. The Generac standby unit I am getting "claims" only 66db running at full tilt, or about what an A/C compressor running sounds like. I am planning on installing it next to my A/C unit, as that is where the NG line enters the house too. Downside is, that it is right outside the listening room.
