    Trash those clunky separates - the iPod Hi-Fi is here :^(

    Checkout this new player! Your iPod is now officially "old". New iZilla from the above site: And it only weighs 30lbs - awesome.

    Trash those clunky separates - the iPod Hi-Fi is here :^(

    Even with a cheap $50 boombox, most of the music *is* present, it's just that is not an exact copy of what's on the studio master tape. But a listener's imagination has the potential to ignore this inaccuracy & can make up the rest that's missing. If this weren't true, books featuring fictional...

    Trash those clunky separates - the iPod Hi-Fi is here :^(

    Got to hear this thing....a little. I brought a couple CDs in case they had a portable CD player I could use as a source, but that was not to be (as I expected). So I had to listen to the store's iPod Nano. The salesperson didn't know what kbps rate the tracks were, so this added to the...

    Trash those clunky separates - the iPod Hi-Fi is here :^(

    Tonight at Best Buy I saw the Hi-Fi as I was leaving, but the store was already closed so could'nt listen to it. But I did give it a quick once-over and the first thing I noticed was how solid it was. I did the knuckle test on the sides and top & it was very solid. Then I picked it up - wow, for...

    Same here, but right now I can't afford a luxury item like an MP3 player (I need a new TV baaaaad).

    Finally found the two articles my post above is partly based on (unfortunately they are both on subscriber-based sites hence the links to another forum where they're posted but I'm too chicken to repost them here :D): "Over High-Fidelity, Companies Attempt to Refocus on Sound" from the Wall...

    Guys, guys, guys. You're missing the point (at least, I think that is what's happening). :) It doesn't matter if the Hi-Fi can't meet its low frequency spec. It doesn't matter if the concept resembles another company's concept. It doesn't matter that is uses full-range cone drivers...

    I think the 70s retro thing is almost played out but still think it has some life. The Hi-Fi + this matching groovy TV from '72 from someone's basement = chic home theater. :)

    must...force...fingers...to...push....correct...ke ys :D I have to admit, when it comes to user-friendly operation, most of Bose's gear IS very easy to set-up & use. Same with much of Apple's computer systems, so I'm not surprised the Hi-Fi shares a resemblance: plug iPod into Hi-Fi, grab remote...

    Trash those clunky separates - the iPod Hi-Fi is here :^(

    If this thing sells even slightly as well as the iPod, us knuckle-dragging component fans are in for some major flak from the Hi-Fi's owners: Apple Hi-Fi Looks like a hi-end boombox to me, though I'll admit based on Apple's attitude I bet - for what it is - it sounds pretty good. And it...
