Here comes the solar maximum.

It's much ado about nothing Mike. I'm serious guy, don't sweat it.

That's what I am hoping, Tpreaves. I am the first person to ignore paranoid press....but this is 'my precious' we are talking about ... :)

OMG... now here comes a transit by Venus.

If something like the Carrington Event were to happen today, I think you'd have much more than your audio equipment to worry about. But if there are any sort of infrastructure-damaging possibilities from the CME I haven't seen much in the way of preparation for it...I guess that means everything is under control.

"Carrington Event" just triggered a non-audio-related Google search, inspired by this site. Never thought Audiogon would expand my knowledge astronomically.
