All of the independent agencies here were really expensive and after quoting me, they came back and said "we aren't able to do that policy after all", as it's an inland marine and they weren't allowed to do them. Much like my 12 passenger van insurance, they can't handle that either. That sucks ! Unfortunately 1/2 of the insurance thing is finding the right agent! Unfortunately my contacts at American Family and others are all gone otherwise I would make some calls ! AmFam treated me great on my classic car auto policy. Car was nearly totaled, then stolen a year later after being fully restored. Paid me far more than I ever paid them, without a fuss. They wouldn't insure my studio gear though. Don't know if my agent was just ill-prepared to handle that sort of thing or if he was tired of losing money on me. I have such a mix of DIY-builds, vintage, etc (not to mention thousands of tubes and other vintage parts) that I have a hard time finding any agent that's interested in taking the time to work with me to give a reasonably priced policy. I do have some coverage but decided that security has been the better investment for me.

Amfam was one of my personal clients and that often meant meeting with those at the top, as well as some other smaller insurance companies. The problem is we are niche market and those who specialize seam to exploite that fact !

Can't find another hybrid analogue worth buying, well unless ericn wants to give me a bank loan. I think he used to be Captain Jack Sparrow, but it's just hearsay for now.. I'll get proof though, one day.... I'm mostly happy with my Midas VeniceF-32. If firewire wasn't dead (or nearly at least), it would be a contender.

Firewire is dying, mostly dead, because of it's "bursty" throughput. Most DAWs want a continuous stream with as much data available to them as possible. (AFAIK) (I could be wrong.) (I've been wrong before) (am I insensitive to DAWs' needs/) (Maybe I don't understand DAWs and their needs) ( am I emotionally disconnected from my DAW's needs?) (I feel so dirty and guilty now)

(I feel so dirty and guilty now) Cater to the daw, relax the daw, massage the daw, oil the daw ( virtually oil ) , tell the daw how amazing she is, confess your love for the daw, make the daw and you one, insert your hard..... drive into the computer, open up the Daw, talk to the daw, tell her how sweet she is, select 96khz in the daw, daw's love 96khz, why 96khz? No lube needed when making sweet passionate music with the daw. Moral of the story Don't be insensitive to your daws needs, technology needs to be rubbed the right way too 🤣😭😱
