Love the flexy rack. Did you use plumb bobs as your spikes?

Everyone has such snazzy setups. I doubt mine would win any awards, except perhaps for taking "downtempo" to the extreme. I'll call it "Squeezebox van der Rohe". The speakers, the particular brand and model of which are not worth mentioning, are small, self powered, and stand upon two of the window sills on the right hand wall. Perhaps one day I'll invest in something that sounds better, at which time the sound system would likely become slightly more prominent in my living room.Comment

It's more important that you enjoy your SB and it's capabilties (even if you are using Altec Lansing speakers). Sure my fancy setup is shown in this thread but my bedroom is a whole different story! My SB2 sits atop an old projection TV cabinet that I'm going to convert to a storage unit for who knows what just yet with some crappy Logitech speakers.Comment

This is ridiculous, but you can hack a billy big mouth bass with a processor board and linux, and I'd like him to say the album title now playing. I didn't file a feature request yet...

Here are my Squeezeboxs in my living room and kitchen. In each room there is only a Squeezebox, two speakers, two remotes and an IR sensor, no other technology and no CDs. The CDs are in boxes in the storeroom and the CD covers have been scanned and are kept in a box in the living room for browsing through.
The Squeezebox in the kitchen is connected to the amplifier by huge cables - not ideal. I am still trying to find a position for it, where I can see it from both ends of the room and it is near enough to connect to the amplifier in the next room - hence the rather industrial bracket.Comment

Originally posted by nicky6Would've wanted to be able to run both FM and streamed music without detaching the cables, but now I run Internet radio in the kitchen instead. The SB3 belongs to the living room where the receiver etc is, but I liked the idea of old and new on a photo... Just tried it out in the kitchen.Comment

Beautiful setup you have there. Seems like the FL displays match quite nicely.
I was wondering... Any particular reason to prefer WMA Lossless over FLAC?

Hi, Crooner. I saw the user name the other day, and wondered if it was the same "Crooner" from AK. Glad to see you here! The Squeezebox is just a *slight* upgrade from the old Soundfeeder, ay?
I know you use vintage gear like I do - but beware the temptation to use Squeezebox's volume control, whilst cranking the
receiver/pre-amp volume control. See the various "white noise" threads for the reason that's a bad idea. I'm only using the Digital outputs on my SB3 now because of a second occurence the other day.Comment

The soundfeeder I used for relaying MP3s to my tuners. The Squeezebox's lossless FLAC support is a completely different ballgame. Now here's a true hi-fi audio source!

It's true, ripped music using FLAC sounds less "digital" to my ears. Discs that used to be harsh sound so much better!"Audio Preservationist"
