Just buy a fcuk off stereo that when played loud you can hear at each end of the street, that will mean that all your rooms are covered.

Depends what "the best" means...

You could look at Naim



or Linn



Alternatively, if you mean "cheapest", then that's a different thing.

You misunderstand me.

What I was actually saying is that all mains systems in this country are inherintly[sic] dirty. decent cables, as you know, will go some way to "cleaning" your mains system, and improving the sound in the process.

No, I didn't know that because it isn't the case. Cables will not 'clean up' mains noise.

Theyve been measured to NOT completely remove all RFI in a fairly decent hifi amp
Thats why I use a balanced mains transformer

In what way does a balanced mains tranformer remove RFI that the good quality toriodals used in most decent amplifiers don't (not to mention the massive smoothing capacitors they generally feed into)?

I'm an electronics engineer and an audio enthusiast.

I'm not trying to 'get a rise'. I am trying to get some justification for an as yet unsupported claim for which I see no technical basis. People come to these forums for technical advice. We should be willing to justify that advice - you know as well as I do that some of the advice offered in this forum is not as reliable as it should be. People need to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff and the technology from the fairy dust.

+1 for the Sonos... Excellent bit of kit.. We current have 2 - one upstairs, one down, and and 2 iphone docks; one next to each speaker (well, i say 2, we've just moved and can only find one )

I'll chuck in the Squeezebox range as an alternative to Sonos. Been happilly using them for almost a decade and currently have three music devices wired/wirelessly networked in our house.
