USPS Priority Mail
There is one key point that has been missed that may be important to you in some situations. USPS Priority does NOT offer tracking - just confirmation of delivery.If you want to know where the package is in the system during transit you need to us... 
Blu Ray Player
For perspective: the entire movie studio system is dependent on DVD sales to turn a profit on most movies. And since 2007 the trend on DVD sales has been straight down... while rental sales have remained flat.So it is no particular wonder that Blu...

Here's a rave for the Oppphttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/0609/aachapter116.htm 
Blu Ray Player
Hi Manta - you are getting solid info from our most knowledgeable poster - let me try and clarify a bit by taking it from a newbie perspectiveUsually people look for a BluRay player that can decode the new formats because they want to run a set of... 
integra dhc-9.9 or onkyo pr-sc866
Dave - while I generally defer to Kal, in this case I disagree with his assessment of the value of the new features.The problem with the Reon processing in the 9.8 is that it is global - so what you apply to your cable box is also applied to your ... 
integra dhc-9.9 or onkyo pr-sc866
The Integra is the Onkyo flagship brand - sort of their Lexus. Tech support for both comes out of the same place. Don't know it for a fact but they probably come off the same assembly line. I suspect that resale on the Integra would be easier.No o... 
Mapleshade Silclear
I am not a qualified tech - but it seems unlikely that Silclear would cause something so specific. Especially if when you swap tubes the voltage drop didn't follow.If the problem remains constant and in place, then it is stationary. To me this wou... 
Mapleshade Silclear
Sorry but I am missing the logic here - Silclear on the tube pins either creates/adds noise or it does not.Assuming the tubes are for the left and right channel you can test that by swapping the tubes and seeing if the "weakness" is now on the oth... 
Are all "Floor Protectors"& TipToes Created Equal?
David - if you go about this by setting the TT and the CD on the rack, then the rack and the speakers on the floor you will probably want a mix of things. Generally there are two conflicting goals at work. In the one case you want to isolate the u... 
DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable
I found the Wireworld SuperNova 5+ to be as good as very good SPDIF in my old rig. I do like the electrical isolation Toslink provides - I think it makes an important difference. The other point is strictly practical - you can get a 3m Wireworld f... 
Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer
Tough to beat a VH Audio Pulsar IC and their Flavor 4. The Pulsar is a 75ohm cable that seems to be very good at low level detail. The VH4 is a great power cord that will easily deliver all the current the sub needs.For your budget you can get the... 
Surround Receiver For Zu Druid ?
Whoracle - Integra is the Onkyo flagship brand - like Lexus to Toyota - go for that if you can get the discount - or do as many of us do, get a top of the line pre/pro from Integra and then a multi-channel power amp to suit - lots of choices there... 
Do Audiogon members like DIY cable projects?
I suspect there are a lot of folks here who do - I do FWIW - there are other sites like Asylum and DYI that have more of the vibe and more clearly designate where to post 
I2S mods on Squeezebox
Hi Ben -Can see you're getting into this big time -IMO talk to Wayne at Bolder - if anyone knows how to tweak up a Squeeze/Logitech product, likely he does - or of course Steve at Empirical 
Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
I would check with Wayne at Bolder - you will find him very friendly and notably lite on the BS - though as you would hope and expect he believes in the benefits of what he does.Waynes mods historically have fallen in to two major categories. Firs...
