Hi bill,

I am OK with the noise, I have some Noise Canceling headphones, and when
they are on, not only can't I hear my wife, I don't hear the amp
either!  :)

I added the "LOTS of air" quote to let anyone know that I think it is a
good thing that it moves that much air.  Else the tubes explode!  :)
