| Outdoor config! Given your budget, the Sonance system shown above is a good option, especially since it's on sale, now. | |
| Outdoor config! They you just need a passive speaker system with a location for the amp. Also, if you go with something like Sonos for a source, you don't need Bluetooth. It runs on wifi which is better anyway. If you go with a passive system that includes a... | |
| Single way or multiway Every design of well,....everything is just a collection of compromises. Something has to give in order for something else to be better. If a design is as close to a no-compromise approach as possible, then what is given up is costs involved to ... | |
| Crossover and Wiring Upgrade Which model of Sonus Fabers? | |
| Outdoor config! You have electrical outlets around your yard, but did you install and direct burial speaker wire from your house to the areas where you would like to place speakers? Generally 14/4 direct burial works quite well. Most landscape systems would hav... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? I've never heard of a good universal remote (basic good, as in something from URC or ProControl) not being able to learn IR codes from another remote. More than likely, an existing IR codes set was used for those remotes, especially if it is a sm... | |
| McIntosh amp Power tube replacements needed You could get your existing tubes tested relatively cheaply, first. Even a place that services electric guitar amps in your area should be able to test them. That should confirm if you need to change them out. | |
| Low powered integrated recommendation Do you need a remote? | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? For anything less-expensive, like cheaper receivers, CD players, TVs, etc. I just have the unit set up in my garage and playing when they arrive so they can see it works. People buying that level of gear aren't super picky audiophiles like many o... | |

The Connect would sit with your main system and the Connect would, well, connect to the Play5 through their own network and you would just control the Play5... | |
| Class of operation for Tube Power Amps gkelly nailed it. | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. Zelle is a bank wire, essentially. There is no recourse or charge-backs by the buyer. It's the only 100% safe electronic payment I know of, (for the seller). Venmo, Paypal, and the like are backed by a credit card to which the buyer could cont... | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. Selling tower speakers and other high-$ gear locally just takes more time, usually to find a buyer. Any local ad I make always includes "Cash or Zelle in person" in the ad. In y experience, the serious buyers are usually easy to spot when they a... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? The only way I know how to mitigate losses over purchased tubes would be to do what everyone else does. Try them out and if you don't like them, you just have to sell them at a loss. Just explain in your ads that they didn't have the synergy you... | |
| "Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up. Sonos. They sound much better than you think they would or should. He's young so everything is on his phone so just go with the flow. Since it's an open-ended modular system, he can grow it through the years and incorporate it into legacy hifi ... |
