Office streaming solution?
Is your Airport Express the first or 2nd generation version? The first gen units were not as stable as the 2nd gen units. I currently have 2 Airport Express units (2nd gen) in separate systems and I have no issues with my iPhone or iPad so I suspe... 
Laptop vs music server when streaming over WIFI
I could not detect any audible differences streaming via WiFi between a Mac Mini running headless and several dedicated music servers. I disabled all non-essential functions on the Mac Mini. I have been streaming via WiFi for over 11 years, initia... 
Troubleshooting my Dac
Since both the Bluesound and the Sonos are doing the same thing on different DAC inputs, it has to be something in the DAC. 
snell type d or kef 104.2
Both are very good speakers. Personally I prefer the KEFs. I actually have KEF 104/2s and they are one of my favorite speakers. You should compare the two side by side, if you can, and see which you like better.  
Refurbishing a Old Vinyl Cabinet, Need Help with Components
You might want to post this on Audiokarma. Many enthusiasts on that site have experience refurbishing vintage consoles.  
Help teach an old dog new tricks
You said your speakers are KEF 104.3. I don’t think they ever made a 104.3. If you meant 104.2, than they are an excellent speaker and would be hard to improve upon without spending a lot. I myself have KEF 104.2s. I have had many speakers over th... 
Recommendation for speaker upgrade for main home listening and audio environment
Your KEF 102/2s are a real sweet, smooth sounding speaker.  If you like the old school KEF sound, it would be hard to replicate it in new speakers. I have auditioned the KEF R3s and LS50s, as well as some other new KEF speakers near your budget an... 
What is the best way to play music with DAC/wireless?
I have been wirelessly streaming my lossless ripped CDs (AIFF or ALAC) using various versions of Airplay for about 11 years. I have 3 systems in 3 different rooms and my wife has her own system. Two systems use the most recent Airport Express and ...

New or Old
The KEF 107 is a fantastic speaker and hard to beat if everything is working properly. The Kube is essential with them if you want the full bass response. The T33 tweeter will probably need the ferrofluid replaced. It was an easy job on my 104/2s ... 
Record Care Regime can I do better ?
As @cleeds stated, LPs aren't made in clean rooms and, in fact, some record pressing plants are very messy places.Having worked in a clean room environment and having analyzed new LPs, I would say that most record pressing plants are dirty. I woul... 
KEF 107.1 or B&W 802 S3 Matrix
The KEF 107 has the soft dome t33 tweeter while the 107/2 has an aluminum tweeter. The t33 tweeter was used in many KEF speakers in the 80s and 90s. I have never heard the 107/2 but I would think that the aluminum tweeter would be brighter than th... 
Kef Reference Tweeters-Ferrofluid Replacement
Alex,For 1 inch tweeters, you only need one 100ul tube for each tweeter. I purchased 2 tubes from Parts Express for my KEF 104/2s which have 1 inch tweeters.  
Router extender.
You might want to try an Apple Airport Extreme router. They are no longer manufactured but are available in the used market. The latest model is the 6th generation upright model A1521. The earlier model is the flat model 5th generation A1408. I ha... 
Vintage KEF vs new Salk
Marc,I forgot to mention that the front polymer baffle housing the two midrange drivers is removable. There are 6 screws attaching it to the cabinet. I think they are hex head screws but might be torx.
