I relocated recently, temporarily separating myself from my vinyl and CD collection while setting up a new business. My Squeezeboxes and Transporter kept me sane by providing an unending stream of music, news, new music and even background sounds, all with superb sound quality. I let my Pandora and Rhapsody services guide me to new artists and new albums, enjoying the "meeting an old friend I never knew" feeling of connecting with an artist introduced by the squeezebox. I tapped into my FLAC files, re-listening to albums whose originals were 1500 miles away. I never felt deprived of my music and enjoyed it through my best stereo rig, or through a pair of advent AV570 powered speakers in the kitchen while I cooked or even through a ridiculously cheap super T amp powering spherical sattelite speakers while I shaved. I laughed at comedy podcasts I had downloaded, enjoyed public radio programs on the internet radio and fell asleep here in the U.S. while listening to a jazz radio station in Paris.
I'm sure the iPod users enjoy their music as is. Good for them. I want more. More sound quality, more musical and information choices and more of a CONNECTION to the world of sounds that waits to be discovered. Nothing beats the Squeezebox for that. Nothing even comes close. I just gave a trio of Squeezeboxes to a great friend who has an incredibly expensive stereo system and an amazing collection of music. I was trying to find a cool gift for a man who "has everything." He, his wife and his kids think the Squeezeboxes are the coolest gift they have ever received. Mission accomplished. sorry for the long post boslim -- boslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ boslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7941 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
