Spikes on tower speakers
If you use those black rubber and cork pads be aware that the black rubber can bleed into any wood surface they're left on for a length of time. I had permanent black squares that were left when pads like that were used between my speakers and a m... 
Spikes on tower speakers
To protect hardwood floors from the spikes of a pair of ProAc speakers I had two pieces of slate cut from scrap material at a business that sold custom countertops. They were @$20 each some years ago but the price will probably depend on how accom... 
Pricing for McIntosh LS430 Speakers?
No, HiFi Shark is not a sales platform, it's a reference site for items for sale on other sites worldwide and a record of completed sales.  
Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures
Agree. There are several things a buyer could do to make the pictures, and the gear they're trying to sell, more appealing. Take the piece out of the rack and disconnect all the cables. Shoot the pictures of front, back, sides and top straight on... 
Apple iPad music streamer
Streaming over Wifi from your iPad to a Wiim Mini Pro would give you 192kHz, 24-bit audio for $99. The Wiim iOS app works really well. I use it mostly with a small system when traveling but it works perfectly in my main system, as well. https://w... 
Bookshelf speakers that pair well with Decware ZMA
I'll second the recommendation of the Reference 3A de-Capo. I drive mine with a 20 watt Raven Audio Blackhawk LE and find the combination to suit me better than any combination of the many I've owned.  
Can a Bluesound Node's Streamer Be Bypassed and be used as an External Dac?
There is an mini optical input on the Node but I've never tried using it and wouldn't hazard a guess about how it works. Suggest you contact Bluesound support directly.  
Luxman L-509x --- Universal Remote Code
I doubt you'll find anything new that's less expensive. Branded remotes use a wide variety of codes so that they are unique to their products and their use doesn't overlap if you have multiple brands of components. The best alternative if price is... 
Luxman L-509x --- Universal Remote Code
The Logitech Harmony database lists the Luxman L-509x as being compatible with their universal remotes. To make that work you buy one of their remotes, connect it to your computer, go to their database at the URL below, type in the brand and model... 
Streaming integrated for Silverline Sonatinas
One option would be a Bluesound PowerNode EDGE.

Do Simaudio integrated amps run hot?
I've owned Simaudio I-5 LE and Simaudio ACE integrateds, don't know if they are similar to the one you're considering, but neither of them created any appreciable heat. Slightly warm on the top, as I would have expected.  
Headphone „limiter“ on iPhone
If you're concerned, make an appointment with an audiologist. Many of my friends have been quite surprised to learn their hearing loss is much greater than they imagined. It happens gradually and you don't know what you're missing unless you take ... 
Node 2i what is better at that price, just need the streamer section?
A consideration separate from the hardware choice of a streamer is the interface to the music library. The Bluesound control software is simple, very well designed and powerful, less intimidating for someone new to streaming than some of the other...
