Blue Raven has introduced the Maestro 1070, an iPhone and iPod hi-fi docking station, with 70 watts powering a 5" center sub and two 3" satellites. Looking suspiciously like the official iPod Hi-Fi -- but with handles on the side, not the top!! -- the universal dock accepts and charges Apple's hardware, and also has an auxiliary port for those rocking other players. The Maestro includes a video-out jack for connecting to a television, a 12-key remote control, comes in black or white, and retails for $199.
But be as good as high end hifi kit like the official on is (sic).
Huh? Can you please repeat that in English?
I believe what he meant to say was:
"But will it be as high of quality as the official Apple iPod HiFi?"
Though I am not sure what "(sic)" means.
I don't know about the speakers, but everything else about this is actually better than the iPod Hi-Fi... except the iPod features, like full-screen album art.
Taken from Wikipedia..
Sic is a Latin word, originally sicut [1] meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error.[2]
The word sic may be used either to show that an uncommon or archaic usage is reported faithfully: for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution:
The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker...
or to highlight an error, often for the purpose of ridicule or irony, as in this example:
Warehouse has been around for 30 years and has 263 stores, suggesting a large fan base. The chain sums up its appeal thus: “styley [sic], confident, sexy, glamorous, edgy, clean and individual, with it's [sic] finger on the fashion pulse.”[
Looks good. Could have bought this for use outside during summer
Keeping it real fake, part... 70? When did you get to 70?
