Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR
Rgurney: NOS or current production WE 300B? And EML,..etc are less then half the cost of Royal Princess so I hope it's twice as good sounding. I would have tried the EML and KR were it not for Sophia Carbon. Still may some time in the future. 
Using Airport Express/AirTunes.
That's easy to say in hindsight, not if you haven't tried it before.In the end... the sound was terrible from AppleTV via optical. And wireless didn't help. I discovered there's a "Bermuda Triangle" wireless zone in that part of my room where the ... 
Halide Bridge vs hiFace Evo vs Sonicweld 192
I've had it. No more USB for me.I tried the WaveLink HS. It sounded terrible, especially with the upper frequencies. It made me cringe when playing loud. Sometimes it would sound good at lower levels, or with higher quality recordings, but after m... 
Full-range/horn loaded on a budget?
Update: I'm still trying to sort out the music server...also had some noise issues (tubes). I want to say I like what I hear based on a brief time with the SqueezeBox Touch, but I can't be certain until I have the system dialed in. It's close. I g...

Third pair is the charm... so far. I can't comment on the sound at this time because I'm still sorting out which music server to use. I think the first pair may have been fine but I can't be certain. I replaced another tube along with the Sophia 3... 
Is streaming possible w/ 171iTransport/iPad?
I just discovered that an iPhone app can wirelessly sync and restore from a backup emailed to my iMac, and yet I presume the iPad and iTouch can't stream music? Shouldn't this be possible with iOS 4 and a music player app since they have Wi-Fi, sa... 
Your impressions of BPT L-9C Power Cord?
I wasn't overly impressed with the BPT CPC HCF-30 in my HT system so I'm skeptical of the power cord. The RSA Haley did a much better job, as expected, but I also found the Furman Elite-15 PF i to do a better job as well.

I take that back about AppleTV - it sounds terrible compared to Squeezebox Touch. Another let down, besides the constant wireless interruptions.iTune (AirPlay)>AppleTV>Optical(AQ OptiLink-1)>DAP-777iTunes/SqueezeBox Server>SBT>S/PDI...

I agree. The right thing to do is offer customer choice of refund or another replacement. Sophia has been more helpful then most though, but still no excuse. This experience makes me reconsider EML, KR, and Shuguang Treasure. It's a gamble with an... 
Using Airport Express/AirTunes.
Continuing issues with AirPlay through AppleTV. I have to accept the fact that wireless just doesn't work in my set up/home. Funny, I can see neighbors wireless networks, barely, but my own network, which my iMac see as 100% signal strength and is...

Sophia doesn't offer refund.Looks like I'm stuck with ceramic base.Who sells the Svetlana 300B? I can't find it, not even on their website. I've heard of AVVT but not familiar with tubes.Fact is, none of these current 300B's are real (WE) 300B des...

Wavelength Audio WaveLink HS 24/192 USB to SPDIF converter.To throw another one into the mix. ;-) Better then Halide Bridge apart from 24/192? I wish there were some other members who've compared these devices. At least to have some others experi... 
Using Airport Express/AirTunes.
Playback was going well this morning, but then it dropped out for a second after about an hour, and again later. Not as bad as with the SBT but still an issue. It has to be the wireless signal strength.Being able to play from iPhone 4 w/ Remote ap...

You didn't need to write all of that. I know that much about DAP-777, Harmonix/Combak Corp, May Audio, contact info,..etc. Not ignorant. Did my research before buying it. Know how to "search internet". Many owners and reviewers know it's capabilit... 
Using Airport Express/AirTunes.
D'oh! I just discovered I can control AppleTV as a remote speaker with AirPlay via Remote app on iPhone. Very cool. *bright idea* iPad as streaming music server. My original idea. Why didn't anyone tell me? That's an expensive remote control. I ra...
