The VFD screen on Boom and original Squeezebox players have a tendency to become more and more dim. Mine has. I've seen threads trying to research replacement VFDs with little success. Sent fra min HTC One via Tapatalk ---

Boom every time. However, it is quite possible to damage the Boom speakers if like me, you like a bit of volume and listen to modern bass heavy music. So I use it with a subwoofer (as it has a sub-woofer out) and like the sound very much. I also have it permanently set to medium stereo expansion.
