£1500 as they have been on their website for a while now. Thanks very much for the pointer. £1.5k is about what I wanted to spend. I rang them but their web site is very out of date (a new one is in the pipeline) and unfortunately they sold them ages ago. MC -- ModelCitizen Squeezebox2

claim from hell with the courier. Good luck Good luck. Wasn't ParcelForce (aka ParcelFarce) by any chance was it? After some very bad experiences with them damaging and loosing my hifi stuff I'd never trust them to deliver anything again. MC -- ModelCitizen Squeezebox2 Benchmark Dac1 Naim NAC

. Maybe I'll have to concentrate les on the funky looks and find a small powered speaker with a reasonble sound (and good bass, if possible), that'll fit on my shelf. MC -- ModelCitizen ModelCitizen's Profile: http

. Someone on this forum has gone on about a new Dac called a Storm which sounds like a likely candidate for me (especially as it's less expensive than the Dac 1). MC -- ModelCitizen ModelCitizen's Profile: http

don't have the time to mod it! I am certain that things would be improved if I stuck the Squeezebox directly into my power amp and found the lots-of-bollocks sweet point with the output level. Unfortunately Naim power amps only have one input... :-( MC -- ModelCitizen

somehow (but perhaps not as detailed/intense as the PT?). I use a Iomega Psu with my Squeezebox, but should probably try the linear one mentioned elsewhere on this forum as it's so cheap. MC -- ModelCitizen ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles
