I buy an amplification/speaker system to actually amplify a line level signal...not be a cutesy holder for proprietary devices...]]>Oct 23rd 2007 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/2. The base station transmitter needs to be plugged to AC power
3. When are they going to get it through their thick skulls that "portable" should not mean "from the living room to the kitchen" it should mean:
- walk with it down the street
- strap it on your bike
- take it to the park
- take it on a hike

In other words it should be one piece, scratch resistant, with a handle.
Long and skinny instead of square and boxy.

The boomtube would almost do the job except when you assemble it as one piece the speakers face each other inside instead of outside.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/"1.

1) Your opinion. I like it though.
2) You need to plug it into something? Like every other electronic gadget?
3) Portable - Sure. It can't be moved around that far. But it's getting there!]]>Oct 23rd 2007 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/
You want an optical connection to play... mp3!!! Yeah, give me that crystal clean audiophile quality of heavily compressed audio. I want it in it's full unadulterated high fidelity.

Yep, you my friend are a douchebag.

Does your mommy know your using her computer?]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/
I don't mind if you want to insult me but please could you at least be relevant and/or funny?

I must agree you can get such great quality optical connections for $10, top of the line obviously at that price point. Definitely worth it to keep the signal to noise ratio down on route to those $7.50 speaker drivers....

My original point:

Don't be a snob about audio gear. (particularly if you don't know what you're talking about) I have some very high quality equipment at my house but what is any of it worth if the original source (or any step in the chain really) is of a lower quality?

I work in pro audio, but when it comes to consumer gear, I love the convenience of an iPod dock connection.

Yes ladies and gentleman, eq is still a douchebag :)]]>Oct 26th 2007 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/
Believe it or not...unlike you I don't go to Engadget for humor...I prefer Comedy Central/etc. for these sorts of things.

What amazes me is the # of dolts/trolls (yourself included) that pollute what is otherwise an excellent source of information on the web.

Only a fool would think that adding digital inputs in a mass-marketed product would add more than a few dollars to the cost...learn economy of scale man. But when you get into high school I'm sure you'll find out soon enough.

Too many trolls...not enough time...sigh.]]>Oct 25th 2007 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/griffins-evolve-wireless-ipod-speakers-start-shipping/
My point is not whether it is financially feasible to put in an optical input/output . I just can't see why you would want to do that. You will not gain any sonic advantages on a consumer device at this price point, particularly with portable mp3 devices (iPod or not) that hold highly compressed mp3 audio.

My original goal was to scold you for being a snob, for confusing others who come here for well informed opinion (god help us all!) You need to compare apples with apples (no iPod pun intended) and realize that although you might prefer high end audiophile equipment in your home, for most of us there is plenty of room for portable products at differing ends of the scale.

As for your views and opinions (assumptions) about my age background and motivations... it would appear that perhaps you are the troll.... no?

In regards to the douche bag comment... you are correct that is off topic and irrelevant to my point. Perhaps childish?

No I don't take it back either :-p]]>Oct 29th 2007 12:37AM
