Ordered Monday late afternoon from eBuyer having selected free delivery option.

Arrived mid morning Wednesday.

Can't complain at that.

The Boom seems to be a very nicely designed and constructed box - high volume production engineering at its best.

Installed without a problem. Still coming to terms with the differences in operation compared to SB3. I will reserve futher comment till later and post on more appropriate threads.

£150 was a good deal. If anyone is hesitating about the supplier, don't. I have used them a number of times for computer parts. Always a fast service.

I am waiting for the £130 SB3 supply to come in here

and I might have a second SB3.

When I retire to Cyprus I will not be taking steam radios - they won't get the English Stations I want! BFBS is not my style!!

And I was annoyed yesterday because I thought I had missed the £150 boat!

The Amazon offer was there Monday morning but not in the afternoon. Their stock levels must have fallen to some pre-determined level to put the price back up.

But I am surprised. Amazon are normally fast.

I just don't know how prices are going to move - the financial crisis should depress them, but the dollar/pound rate inflate them.

finally got my £150 Amazon boom and have just set it up in about 2 minutes flat! Sound quality is great for such a small unit now to hunt out that thread about making the boom display look like my squeezebox classic ....

now to hunt out that thread about making the boom display look like my squeezebox classic ....

The Boom display is smaller than the Classic so you won't get them identical. I am close with mine.

Title format: Both TRACKNUM. TITLE
Now playing info: Classic Small VU and Elapsed Time, Boom Progress Bar
Screensaver when stopped: Both None
Screensaver when off: Both Date and Time
Time Format: Both SqueezeCenter Default
Date: SqueezeCenter Default

For the date on the Classic, I have day, month, date, year on the first line and time on the second. To get the same on the Boom, the only way I could figure it out was to use the Size button on the Classic remote to cycle to the same setting.
