What is your favorite budget streamer?
I have 1 Bluesound vault purchased in July, 2018 and 4 Bluesound streamers purchased shortly after, and all have worked flawlessly.   
???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???
Do 2-way bookshelf speakers count? I mean any small speaker can be put on a stand, right? Some of the speakers above I would categorize as bookshelf.  
New Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2’s
Cool. Looks to have a sealed box with passive radiator. Not many speakers going in that direction as most are ported.  
Open baffle speakers
I am intrigued by the open baffle speaker, but sadly it seems they must be a ways from a back wall to sound good. At least that's what I heard. In my space, the speakers need to be close to the rear wall so I guess I'll stick with my Harbeths.  
Power Sensitive Components
Just curious, why do you think the power is an issue. Are your lights flickering and dim? Maybe your local news is pointing out issues?  
Does it have to sound good for you to like it?
Bob Dylan at Royal Albert Hall. Probably considered a poor recording. I love that album so count me in on a person that will listen to poor recordings!  
All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i
I've got 4 nodes, all older and a bluesound vault. The only issue I had with one node is the black coating became tacky. The Bluesound vault, my oldest Bluesound product will celebrate its 6 year birthday coming this July!  
Suggestions for testing a never installed, 20-year boxed amp.
Just curious: How did you end up coming upon an unused for 20 years boxed up amplifier?  
New Accuphase Amplifier Experience
I found it interesting about the warning on the power cord from Accuphase. I have a Bryston amplifier, 4BSST2 that would go in safe mode every once in a while. I called Bryston tech support and their first question was: "Are you using a non-stock ... 
dedicated power receptacles for mono blocks?
It sounds like having the dedicated outlets on the same phase will reduce the possibility of ground loops.  Thank you responders!  
dedicated power receptacles for mono blocks?
I forgot to mention that if you had the voltage switch set to 240 volt you would also be plugged into a 240 volt outlet!  
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
Ok, so sounds like what I'm hearing is perfectly normal, which is what a technician at Bryston told me.  I will stop fretting! Thank you all for your responses  
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
bslon: I think my sound could be also described somewhere between a thud and pop. Interesting you had it on the older version as well. I'd be curious if anyone else who has the 4BSST2 has the issue.  I will send an email to James tanner if I can ... 
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
I measured DC voltages at speaker terminals on the amp and both channnels measured .000VDC. This measurement was with a fairly decent fluke meter and had the volume set to zero on preamp and speakers disconnected.  That's how to do it, correct?  
Bryston amp, pop sound at power down.
No tube preamp. I've tried the amp with two different solid state amplifiers and with no inputs at all and the pop still occurs. I noticed that it seems to be an equal pop on both left and right channels.  I will perform the dc speaker terminal t...
