USPS is notorious for taking forever in the event a claim is filed which brings to the fore my first point.  Avoid USPS unless using priority mail and limit that as well.  Priority mail only for small  light weight packages--ship anything over 10 ... 
Anyone have Warfedale Linton 85th anniversary?
Well, I did not buy the Lintons so cant comment on them. For me after learning that the Wharfedale EVO4 range of speakers used a dome mid range and how that is not often implemented in speakers and the sound improvement of which can be better expl... 
Buyer Beware

I have had more than a few amps in my 2 systems over the last 20 years. The one class D amp that I remember was a PS Audio--dont remember the model number. great sounding amp.. Fast forward to probably just last year. I picked up a NuPrime. sta-6 ...

I have dealt online with AA only a couple of times --no problems. I just completed my first deal with MD a week or so ago. Check it out re/negotiating. MD posts listings on Reverb-- Open box Wharfedale EVO 4.3 for 1250 including shipping I think ... 
Wanting to try a tube amp.
point to point wired and likely one of the most reliable  tube amps out there.  Ive been using a low powered iteration for years , never a hiccup.   In your price range and new of course and the reputation of Decware . https://www.decware.com/news... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
initial question of a basic nature segues into $50k budget?   Shaky ground indeed.     
Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
I just yesterday might well have seen the same listing stating price is firm/no lowball.. (playing hardball--who needs it?)  So, for me I need to move on and consider that a seller may well be entrenched in a dynamic that is only going to annoy b... 
Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system?
Aside from my rant in previous post re/importance of antenna and the only antenna that will make a big difference (read astounding difference ) is a rooftop rotatable.   That is all true.  I think my rant also was due to the fact that I have since...

How deadly is transformer hummm...
As long as your home AC is within reasonable spec I dont think it would be the cause of tranny hum. The type of hum from home AC would likely be most evident at the speaker. Although good to check your AC voltage although that tool is just to chec...

Hum is my number one bugaboo. I can not stand it .. Often when asking a seller if there is any hum in the unit and being really specific that Im referring to the amp itself they will respond with --oh, its very quiet from the speakers. thereupon n...
