I was able to try another power supply, but no luck
Looks like I lost +_ 15 % of my music. (+_ 400 cd's)
I always been a little nervous about digital and computer audio.
I still have photo prints taken 60 years ago by my grand parents and I doubt that with digital media one would keep photos for that long
as the formats keep changing and mistakes do happen.
But I love the convenience of PC audio. Just need to take lots of precautions. I am looking forward to streaming as then there is no worry about loss of files.

I agree. Digital photos are a big problem unless you keep a constant eye on updating, sorting, and backing up all those files.... or keeping a bunch of them on a "cloud service"... but then you have to worry about making sure your successors have access to them.Unless I print the photos and insert them into a physical album.... or use one of those services like Shutterfly to create a photo album book, I tend to lose track of the pictures. I don't lose the pictures, I just don't do a great job of categorizing them for easy retrieval. The best photos go into physical photo books at my house.
I'm not too concerned about my music library. I do keep a couple backups of everything but if a disaster strikes, I still have all my physical CD media and vinyl records to fall back on. But if we're faced with a real disaster, we probably have more important things to worry about anyway! Like food, water, shelter, etc.

I do regret selling +_ 50% of my cd's but at the time I felt that my system was pretty safe doing regular back ups and I needed the space
3000 cd's take lots of space.
I also got a good price for them which actually covered part of the cost
of my new amp.
I should have done back up at more regular intervals as lately I added
lots of music.
