I don't know that I completely agree here. The transporter has made the notion of owning a CD player unimportant to me. If you look at the devices it eliminates from a system and the fact that your music is much more accessible, the cost is much less of an issue. A good sales person can help people understand this value quickly. The challenge is that you need that salesperson catching the actual customers in need of the education which requires that the system be on store shelves. Have you seen the automatic esspresso makers that go for $2K-$3K in William-Sonoma? They wouldn't put them in every store if they didn't sell a lot of them. Who can justify that (full disclosure, I've had one for years and love it)? To me, it's a far weaker argument to suggest that the value of that system is worth it vs. a transporter. I do think Logitech needs to keep their name off the device though. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
