High Powered Wireless Network for Audio
The only wireless speaker experience that I've had was with my subwoofer. When I had it hooked up wireless I couldn't print with my wireless printer. The subwoofer would also get some interference during internet use, but not a lot.Is it possible ... 
What does "pre out" rca output do?
That's exactly what pre-outs are for. Check the manual to verify the specific intended function, but pre-out should work fine for what you want to do.My receiver has pre-outs for all seven surround channels and also pre-outs for two additional zon... 
Speaker Wire Recommendations?
I think shorter is better as long as the components are not so close together that they interfere with each other. 
Which SACD sound better than Vinyl
I would agree that sacd's are excellent. I've also noted that the redbook layer on sacd's is generally well done as well. The hybrid cd's are the best of both worlds because you can play them on anything without limitation. 
Kharma v Focal v Avalon
I have only heard the Focal Diablo out of the speakers on the list, but I loved the way it sounded when hooked to a Krell amplifier, but wasn't as blown away with an Asthetix amplifier. In general I prefer the Diablo in combination with a JL Audio... 
Are there any constants in speaker wire designs?
Kijanki - "I can make argument as well, that if you want to believe that top cables don't sound any better than cheap lamp cord - they won't (negative placebo effect)."While I'm someone skeptical about the real sound difference in speaker wires I'... 
Cartridge Output Level Question
What is MC vs. MM? 
From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
I'm the proud owner of a pair of Focal 836v speakers and have been very happy with their bass response. Just recently I hooked up my Martin Logan Dynamo 700 10 inch subwoofer to the main channel pre-outs on my receiver to allow me to "fill in the ... 
speaker cables
What sound characteristic are you wanting to change? What do you want "more" of other than placebo cost? Speaking of cost, a budget range would be helpful as well. 
Perhaps we should stick with midfi...
I took a different route in playing detective and tried to figure out the value of the bike in the pictures found on the link so see if the OP could afford the systems described. I wasn't able to figure out exactly what model it was as the name on... 
Speaker Wire Recommendations?
Buconero117 - That's what I'm afraid of and trying to get a feel for. Some people believe that speaker wire is more about "snake oils" than actual factual improvement, but I'm not yet convinced one way or the other.I think that it's possible for t...

Integra 9.9 v 40.1/.2 MAIN DIFFS ??
Too bad you didn't see the 40.2 that sold on eBay a few weeks ago new in the box for just over $300. I tried to get a co-worker to get it, but he got greedy and then gave up. It was a buy-it-now for a long time around $300.I think the biggest diff... 
$500-$1000 to spend on a used CD player
Check out www.pioneerelectronics.com as they have several SACD players for sale at great prices. I have the lest expensive one, on sale for $230, and it was a significant improvement over my blu-ray and 6 disk changer. There are several other opti... 
Using Receiver as a Switcher?
I recently purchased a Pioneer Elite SACD player from Pioneer for a great price and have been really impressed with the sound quality improvement compared to my Integra 6-disk player and Samsung blu-ray player. The difference in redbook playback i...
