Craigslist Fraud
Yes I always figured Craigslist for local sales not shipping. Never sold anything but I've bought tickets through CL just fine. 
Guttenberg and Quad Electrostatics
Quads sound great. Horns sound great too. There you go. 
Strange buzz issue!
A cheater plug in the US lifts the ground it changes a three prong plug into two prongs basically. In Sweden you would use Schuko plugs which are two prong so a cheater wouldn't work.

Need CD Clamp for Krell KPS-30i and feet
I used the have that CD player way back in the 90s it sounded great! I only sold it because it wouldn't read CD-R's. I suspect you may be SOL on this sorry, it's  doubtful Krell would still have replacements and owners of the deck wouldn't want to...

Bulk power cables suggestions
+1 VHaudio Chris is a good guy and has fair prices for his products plus a wide selection. I am not a DIYer but had him built a couple of Furutech custom cables for me at very reasonable prices. Great service and the cables sound excellent. 
Help me understand better solutions for ethernet
mcslipp I would think living in a rural area on top of a mountain that you likely face fewer extraneous noise issues than a lot of us.  I noticed, in a noise rich urban environment, a very slight improvement moving to a better shielded, though non... 
Alternatives to subscribing to Tidal via Apple?
I also prefer Qobuz and at $14.99 a month it's a steal. I had no idea Apple was doing that it's totally shameless. 
Suggestions for side wood panel selection / choice for a custom 2A3 build...
@david_ten I googled Scott and read some older threads about his gear looks like great stuff. Nothing recent though or a website I could find any details of the build? Purely prurient interest. ;) 
Suggestions for side wood panel selection / choice for a custom 2A3 build...
@testpilot  I like the copper/ebony idea that does look great!  @david_ten I love the 2a3 tube who's building your amps? 
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change?
