I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud
Some good advice here. One strategy that I always use is to Google satellite map the address. What does the area, building, home etc. look like? Does it look like a place where someone would enjoy the speakers? I have literally seen empty fields f...

Question for BPT owners....
I can't speak to your particular device but I have my Sonos Connect plugged into my BPT and have had no issues. Remember, you're getting clean AC power out, that's it. 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
Interesting zacho,Triode Wire Labs is the cable I plan on using for power cables. I have a mixture now and from everything I have read the TWL cables are great for the money. I too believe that good sounding cables can be had without mortgaging th... 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
Ok, I have to follow up on my original post. I have now installed the Morrow SP-7’s and I have no idea what the other poster was saying about them sounding "phasey". Each system is different however and in my system the SP-7’s are a clear jump in ... 
Time for dedicated outlets!
I misspoke (wrote)? 10-3 would be three conductor with ground. 10-2 is sufficient. Please check this out from Vince Galbo @ MSB.....http://www.msbtechnology.com/faq/how-to-wire-your-house-for-good-power/

There are also different grades of breakers depending on the manufacturer of your panel. If you're supplying the parts then do some research on breakers as well. +3 for 10/3 romex.It will be even less expensive if you "pull" your own wire if you c... 
Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries?
Thanks for all the comparisons, that really helps. I will be purchasing either one sight unseen so any information is good information.  
E-Bay RETURNS, WHAT A BUCKET OF WORMS
I have to admit that I buy a lot of music(CD's) on Ebay and my experience has been very positive. I usually buy new, unopened CD's but really, they have been great. I think you just have to understand what you're buying and you can always send the... 
Music Streamer Quality
Thanks kendrick,I get it. It's the old "garbage in, garbage out" concept. Right now I am strongly considering the Holo Audio dac along with an Aurender streamer. Every review I read the the reviewer just raves about the Holo Audio unit. I'm guessi... 
Music Streamer Quality
kendrick,Here is the link to Soekris. They have four new models of their R2R dac coming out. With their top of the line unit dac 1541 selling for $1,190.00 I anticipate we'll be hearing more from them soon. I was pretty much set on the Holo Audio ... 
Music Streamer Quality
BTW, I have been communicating with another member who says he could not get the Soekris dac to work properly with his MicroRendu so I guess one has to watch out for compatibility issues. 
Music Streamer Quality
Any sense of how the MicroRendu compares to the Auralic Aries Mini? The latter seems to be quite highly regarded also. I get what you're saying about the upstream component so I will focus on that for now. One thing I have to say for Sonos is the ... 
Music Streamer Quality
Thank you kendrick,I had pretty much decided on the W4S Sonos upgrade until your comments so I will do some more research. I do use a ifi SPDIF iPurifier between the Sonos and the dac but have not switched out the power cord. The entire front end ...
