...bluetooth receiver for the home, please. Would like: stable connectionno weird pitchy weirdnessit to not auto-connect every time I walk into the room, but rather require my asking to connectit to be as invisible as possible; I have enough blue LEDs in the houseRequired:power supply I cannot hearWhen the recently-purchased one is turned off, the GD POS power supply howls throughout the 10-16k range. Having to plug in and unplug a BT receiver so I can sleep in the house sort of renders the convenience of--actually it's the perfect metaphor for most of life, sure, but please someone tell me if it's possible to get a well-designed PS in one of these things.Have thought about simply replacing the very old and unremarkable receiver/amp with one having BT built in, but was hoping to put that off for a bit.thanks!

Seems pretty simple, but im sure there's some *ideal* product for this that i'm not thinking about.We use the rubbermaid fast track things at work to hold all kinds of things off of the ground, including tubas and baritone horns. It's a pretty good system in that there's a variety of hooks/hangers/holders which attach and can be repositioned along the length of the rail as needed. We haven't used them for cables yet, but I think they'd do well.

(link is to a google search result, not a store recommendation.)Beyond that, decide if you want to stack more than one cable on the same peg or just do one cable, one peg.EA seems to have the former, and they look like angled dowel rods drilled into boards. They look nice.I went the one cable/one peg route and bought a bunch of these screw hooks and put them into plywood. Nicer than drywall screws. You could buy some compatible drywall anchors and just put them in your wall.= Justin

I didn't even care about the Bluetooth capability, but I use it a lot more than I expected.I know you said you're not really in the market for that much of an upgrade, but when you are, I highly recommend it.https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Ject-MAIA-BL ...

unistrut and what?

My new phone came without an audio jack. Can anyone recommend me some bluetooth headphones - will probably mostly use for listening only, but if they have a microphone for speaking that might be a plus.

There's T connections that you can make an extension out of, and insulated caps you can add to protect from getting jabbed on the ends https://www.unistrut.us/products/1-5-8- ... ure-stripsor there's hooks you can bolt into the openings
