Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
"I have bad back ... the love of my life ... a bitch to lift 240 lb speaker"Dracule1, I'm speechless. 
Proper use volume control?
"We've already lost tone and balance controls"There is no need for volume control - just sit closer or further away from the speakers. Move your chair sideways to adjust balance.

Lrsky, They sound the same and have the same amount of letters making choice very difficult - otherwise always choose a shorter one. For instance write: nun instead of noun or none nose instead of knowsby instead of buy or byebe instead of beesite... 
Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi?
Mapman, I have dropouts sometimes (once a week) - much better now since I found microwave oven frequency in its manual and changed wireless channel away from it. Ideal would be to switch to 802.11n (5GHz) but my MacMini doesn't support it. 
What's more important, watts or capacitance?
I agree - It is much more complicated than amount of caps and the size of transformer. Power supply capacitors are in the signal path (circuit closes thru them) and their inductance and ESR have direct effect on transients and therefore perceived ... 
Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi?
Mapman - I noticed a few second delay with my Airport Express. I think they fill the buffer to prevent drop-outs in case of interference. Jitter-wise AE was tested by Stereophile and measured word jitter on digital output was respectable 250ps.

"women who place money as a high priority"Very shallow women indeed!Myself - I like these great qualities in a woman, that are often praised by superficial men.

"In general, the whole "audio shrine" is offensive to the female eye"My friend's wife covered speakers with thick ornamental blanket since they looked "offensive". Sound is very muffled and distant (but is very warm).

Magfan,2500W inverter is about $1700. I found LDK panels to be a little cheaper $500 for 235W.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250721031603&hlp=false&rvr_id=175661700227&crlp=1_263602_304652&UA=M*F%3F&GUID...

Magfan - to get some feel for the size and the cost I looked at Yingli Green 235P-29b poly-silicon solar panel. It delivers 235W and costs $550. Size wise it is 40"x65". 10 panels would be plenty for my energy usage returning power to grid most of...

Macdadtexas - solar is expensive to install but returns investment in 5-10 years while it lasts 25 years. It works even on cloudy days producing about 70% of max output. If only I had power meter that subtracts energy returned to grid I would inst...

Magfan, Just only one of Chinese solar companies LDK has annual silicon production capacity of 18,000 metric tons (40 million pounds). Countries like Germany, Italy and Czech Republic invest heavily into solar panels. Look at 2009 numbers:Germany,...

Macdadtexas, I remember when what my relative in London said in 70's after highly publicized push for much cheaper gas heating instead of electric heating. He said "Now when I finaly installed gas furnance gas cost doubled. They are not stupid"Dis...

I'm not sure about advantage of this technology (other than size). Solid oxide fuel cells used by Bloom Energy have efficiency up to 60% while standard gas turbines have also 60% efficiency. Hydrogen Fuel Cell was similar hot technology that ended...
