| travelling speakers Why not powered speakers like the AudioEngines? Or the Dynaudio Focus 110As that I am listening to now. Why schlepp an amp? | |
| Sony SCD-XA5004ES vs Marantz SA11S2 Well, note that the Marantz is limited to 2 channels of output and is twice the price of the Sony. OTOH, it has a clock input which the Sony lacks.Kal | |
| Empire 298 Questions It is definitely worth doing and should be doable if you can find a headshell for the arm. If not, you will have to replace the arm and that might require more extensive modifications to set up. OTOH, if you decide against doing it, I would be hap... | |
| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? Yes but, depending on how big the library is, Touch's speed and convenience will be variable.Kal | |
