This is a bit OT, but in 50 years, the electrical usage changes radically. What was great in 1957 was about 4 circuits for a house, now you need 30 or more for all the electronics. In 57, kitchens didn't have microwaves, Cuisniarts, garbage disposals, dishwashers, blenders, can openers, etc. And if your house was built in the US in the 70s, it probably has aluminum wires, which definitely go bad over the decades. If your house was 100 years old, you wouldn't even ask, you'd plan a rehab that replaced all the wiring and most of the plumbing. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
