Prior to the recent spell of high-incidence loadshedding my plan was to move onto separates. Now, I'm intending to do the opposite, i.e. all-in-one.I've listed (almost) my entire system and will likely be replacing it with a single unit. Yes, Apple in-ear pods to use with my phone and will likely upgrade my Sennheisers next.No, not there yet.Nope, only small scale investments to mitigate power outages (internet is all we need for work and that's covered, gas for cooking, some lighting). Taking the opportunity to restrict activities that require electricity. For in-home entertainment, video gaming and TV substituted with card/board games. My six yo beats me at chess - not that he's particularly good (I am terrible), but because we've played many dozens of games over the last year. That likely would not have happened if more seductive forms of entertainment were always available.I do miss the way things used to be. I often kept my amp on all day in the past (the Exposure, not the Sugden) so I can play some tunes whenever the mood/opportunity strikes. The present situation has motivated some changes, but my love for music (and my, likely unhealthy, relationship to hifi equipment) is undiminished.</blockquote>
