Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S
I've not bought any of the UD1S records but from what you say, they aren't worth a hundred bucks each. Sorry, that's not the impression I meant to leave.  All of these UD1S releases are wonderful.  They sound great and have a HUGE collectabilit...

Yamaha A-S801 - horrible experience
On a $650.00 integrated amp, I wouldn’t worry too much on sound degradation. +1 
That "Wow" Moment!

Threat of fire from audio equipment
Over the many years I had my stores, I never had anything like this happen.  We left most equipment on 24/7 in all the stores and I still leave solid state gear on at home.I did have a few pieces blow-up/catch on fire, but they were operator error...
