    I don't know :blush: but -- the price seems pretty reasonable.
    The reason I am wasting bandwidth by replying is that I wanted to mention, if you didn't know, that PS Audio has a new (?) "publication" that may be of interest.
    http://copper.psaudio.com/Issue1/

    That's all I've got; sorry!

    EDIT: oops, it's not even new :-(

    Thank you Sir, I get emails on their publication but usually trash them. I will take a look and thank you for responding. The current device I have is about 8 years old and I know I am short on having to replace the batteries, its loud with fans and takes up an entire shelf.

    Tracy,
    Hey buddy, those PS Audio Dectets go on sale a couple times a year.
    I bought 3@ $249ea.

    I believe I got them from Music direct or Audio advisor. I know I have seen ads with Underhifi for $369

    I do like them

    Cheers

    I paid $250.00 for my Detect from Music Direct when they had a sale a year ago.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Tracy, if you are interested, you can buy this one off of me for what I paid. I simply haven't used it like I thought I would.

    That's funny as i went looking for one on hifishark but couldn't find one to post here.
    I will never sell mine. In fact, if he passes and you still want to unload, let me know. ;)
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    Having never heard the Detect, i think my next statement is biased but he should really buy the UPC (at Dskip's price) unless he needs more than 4 outlets.
