You should certainly be able to get something good for that - eg
£600-£800 for speakers, £300 for an amp and £100 for connects. Its
fair to say that you could spend more and get something that sounds
better, but that depends on how much money you've got and how important
it is to you!

The Rothwells are easy to get hold of in the UK and do the job. You can
use them at either end of the SB-303 connection. Popular wisdom is that
they should go at the amp end but the difference will be marginal at
best (assuming shielded ie normal) interconnects.

No need to reinvent the wheel - there are a fair amount of really good,
free ones out there. Slim Devices should concentrate on the hardware

Phil,
Your advice seems sound to me. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I don't
live in the UK. I live in Canada, but the Rothwells are certainly still
an option. They wind up being something like $75 shipped, so pretty
reasonably priced. As far as servicing goes, I'll check with the guy I
bought

It is a pure delight to read a post about speaker selection as
informative and balanced as from atkinsonrr. Whoever has spend some

There is no need to use a preamp [unless you want to select multiple
sources] or spend big bux on an attenuator. While your friend is
making cables for you, have him install a two resistor voltage divider
in each cable. Quality metal film resistors will cost about $0.05
each.
Otherwise, you

Due to the current draw being just 0.9 amps it seems to work fine.
Also, the battery actually gives about 6.23 volts. Output now is set to
5.17 volts.
BTW, I (accidentally due to battery running low) noticed that the SB3

You could also use passive attenuators and go from the SB3 direct to the

LOL! Yeah, at least the current one you're in the room for.
It's good to see that the original issue went away though. That would
be far more dangerous if you had an auto-on amp.

Yes, I was planning to try that.
I'll report back when I do.

without compression, will I get the same sound quality through the

If HDCD is any indication (it's effectively 20-bit as well) then the
extra bits will be preserved in both WAV and FLAC forms.
Actually any lossless format would work.
