    And what if the issue is with the actual player?
    It never has in 8 years however I would play a few songs from my phone whilst I nip out to the van to get the back up player.

    Me too!

    Yeah, I wouldnt say that the PSU is unlikely to go down,,Ive had several PSU failures in the past,,on home pc's I mean.

    Also, they dont always damage other components, I usually find they just do nothing when then fail

    But yeah, agree about HD's, and I will make a clone HD, ie, with the operating system / ots av / music & vids, everything,,so I can just swop it over.

    ....and sometimes they kill the main hard drive and the backup hard drive throwing life as you know it into chaos. (sigh )

    if my console fails i go back to cds i have my cds with me at a gig heres my console the backup is within the main console.



    if the mixer fails... i have a behringer Xenyx 1832fx live mixer and of course the connections to connect the decks to it.

    If the speakers fail. I have a spare RCF active cab identical to my main set.
    that i can just plug in and back in business.
