I have a great Sony amp from 1995. It was passed down to me by my father. It cost 100$ in a pawn shop back then and gets used every single day. It sure doesn’t look that good but I’ll bet you 100$ no one can hear the difference.

We have a stand mixer but sometimes it’s just way overkill for small tasks.

My wife says it’s a good brand and swears by it. However, they are not some magical company that still makes everything out of brass and cast iron like they did 70 years ago.

Having overheated a cheap one recently, I guess the lesson is to avoid overstressing these little boys. We have this guy for when shit gets real.
