Thank you for your reply iPhone, when the house was being built I ran lots of wires for a complete Linn system. I didn't know anything about computers as a source nor Squeezeboxes. Installing a server/squeeze system will save a lot of $$$$ and probably give better sound. Most rooms I can get to from either the basement or the attic but I've got a couple of rooms where the roof/ceiling comes down low on the walls and there is no access to run more wires. I need to install the SB3 on the wall with no visible wiring, so wall warts are a no no. I appreciate your concern for fire issues. I had planned on installing 2 amp in-line fuses both in the basement and at the SB3. The RFI issue I hadn't thought about and don't know how much weight to attach to it. Your advice here is appreciated. Is there a way to block the rfi? I realize that coax is not the correct solution. Perhaps a better or safer solution would be to take a single run from the power supply to the attic and then inject it into the 4 unused wires in the CAT5 to feed each SB. I could intercept the CAT5 just before it disappears into the roof-ceiling union. Oh, I have the regulated power supply and no other use for it. It's an Acopian A series so it is far better than the wall wart. -- gsawdy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gsawdy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14330 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48668 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
