I ordered a Boom from Buy.com's eBay store for $272.92 with free ground shipping. I then upgraded to 2-day shipping for $24 (couldn't wait any longer) and received the Boom overnight. It took me all of 45 secs to set it up in my kitchen and it's playing jazz perfectly. The only hitch was the tiny remote; I didn't realize I had to reinstall the battery, then I got it in upside down, finally switched it over and that is working now too. I have 3 SB3 Classics and this booted up and found my music etc. even faster than they do. The sound is incredible, and I am an *audiophile* who uses DACs and tube equipment with her other SB3 setups. Most pleased with this device! It even has an input for an MP3 player or portable CD player. Unbelievable value and received it overnight to boot! Those of you waiting in Europe, send me the purchase and shipping cost and I can order it for you from this vendor and ship it myself. I LOVE it!!

The power supply from the U.S. product is the wrong one for use in European countries. As Slim Devices notes on the Squeezebox Boom product page, "Input voltage range and plug style specific to shipping destination."

Glad you're liking yours though.

It's a universal power supply, you just need to change the "prong" paddle to your local version.
