Did you ever see the movie 'The China Syndrome'? I reckon your meter is about to do a cataclysmic meltdown and burrow its way to the Earth's core.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

My new cd player too with change left over. I'll probably just squander that on records

This meter is getting worse to the point where it is actually distracting me from my music. Unacceptable!
It is quiet when I return to the house after being away all day but as soon as I power anything up then it starts buzzing and whining - louder than a refrigerator or a freezer. No-one wants that two feet behind them when listening.
It only started after I got the IMF speakers - could be a coincidence?
Spoke to the power company who say they can send a gadgee out to check it. Need to make an appointment. 'Okay', says I, 'when is the earliest?'
'Well we are all booked up for the next month.'
'Okay I'll make the earliest appointment you have.'
'We can only book one month ahead and all the slots are full'
'So what am I supposed to do?'
'You'll have to call next week and hope there are some empty slots'
WTF?
That took half-an hour. Looks like I will have to try again and break some balls this time.
