Watch out for your Paypal Account
These 'phishing' schemes are extremely common and you'll likely see them masquerading as any number of well-known institutions, eBay, Wells Fargo, Bank of American, PayPal, essentially any company that might have access to some of your money if yo... 
Extension cords
Another DIY option would be to start with a Hubbell 4 Plex outlet mounted in the matching box with your choice of plug and cable at whatever length you need. Like this:Hubbell 4 Plex

anyone have any experience with the proac 1S?
I have the ProAc 1S and love them. I use them in a relatively modest system with an Audio Refinement Complete integrated, HSU sub and a modded Music Hall CD-25.The speakers are at the same time very engaging and very detailed with an amazing sound... 
Monster Microphone Cable to the rescue
I've made a number of custom length IC's using both Mogami and Canare microphone cable with either Canare or Vampire RCA's. The bulk cable and connectors are very inexpensive when bought from one of the vendors like markertek.com and soldering up ... 
Soliloquy 5.3 , ET, Alon Model 1, or others
There are lots of good options in that price range and if it isn't possible to audition them you can, instead, do as much reading on this and other sites as possible. If you read enough you'll eventually get a second-hand consensus view of the gen... 
ProAc line: Studio vs. Response
I don't know if it's useful since the Studio 110 may be quite different from the 150 but here's a review directly comparing the Response 1sc and the Studio 150.http://www.audiophilia.com/hardware/onesc.htm 
ProAc line: Studio vs. Response
I've owned the Studio 150 and the Response 1s and have auditioned the Response 2s extensively. All are great speakers but the Response line is definitely more to my liking and I think is generally considered the 'higher-end' group of speakers. You... 
Downsized and still happy, can it happen?
For reasons of space I went from McCormack separates, a DNA-0.5 amp and TLC preamp, to an Audio Refinement Complete integrated. That was quite a move down in terms of the original cost, as well, but I'd always liked the Audio Refinement and decide... 
How sub-satellite system should work - crossovers
I'd second Arni's suggestion about using a configuration that leaves your existing speaker connections to the Celestions as is and running a second set of speaker cables from your amp to the high-level inputs of a powered sub. The second set of ca... 
sla battery safe for car audio and t-amp?
The amperage rating of the battery shouldn't be a problem at all. I've run my t-amp off a motorcycle battery quite happily. I didn't hear any sonic improvement with the battery, however, over a good regulated 12v power supply and I didn't want to ... 
Recommendation - Rotel vs. Audiolab
I have no experience with the Audiolab but have owned three different Rotel integrateds and found them to be absolutely reliable with very good build quality and sonics for the price. 
Help: good value amp for Epos M12.2s?
Yes to the Creek suggestions and I'd add to them the Audio Refinement Complete as a consideration for the amp. The Music Hall CD-25 is an amazing player for the price. 
What is the best iPod base?
Using a high-quality table radio is a good alternative to one of the dedicated bases. I really don't have an anti-Bose bias but I have found that the radios from Cambridge Soundworks, either the older Model 88 or the current CD-740 work and sound ... 
What is the best iPod base?
I don't have a lot of experience with either but co-workers have the Bose SoundDock and the JBL On Stage. Both seem to work well but, relatively speaking, the JBL is a much better value. Costco has them for $99 at the moment, about 1/3 the price o...
