iPod Stereos?
« on: December 06, 2007, 11:00:00 am »
Any tips or suggestions?  I'm asking for one for Christmas, but I haven't tried any of them out yet, so I'm clueless and too lazy to look on my own.

Which home theater systems will allow me to use my turntable?

I am getting the Altec Landing InMotion for Christmas!  Glad to know I picked a good one.  It sounded the best at the store, and I liked that it had a radio on it.

I've walked 26 miles with a backpack on my back faster than Katie Holmes ran a marathon.

I spent more time in a store shopping for a gift than I did actually running the marathon, so I'm quite finished with non-internet shopping.
 
 Plus, you guys are so smart, I'd happily bow down to your superior knowledge  :D

If, by "iPod stereo" you mean those docking stations with speakers - I have the Klipsch iGroove.  It's pretty sweet.  Unlike most of these things, it has separate woofers and tweeters.

If it's for in house use, I recommend the iPod base with a simple RCA hookup to your home stereo - no iPod stereo puts out quality sound near the vast majority of home stereo's.

 Consider the Squeezebox option as well if you want something to plug your computer into any stereo via wireless.  T

the main problem with the altec lansing is it's good for a year, maybe 2. =/
 
 jbl has a really nice system out for around the same price point.. when i work sunday i'll try to find the exact number.

I bought a few airport expresses from the apple refurb site and just stream my iTunes everywhere via airtunes. There's software that lets you stream anything from your PC to these and  other software that lets you use a wiimote as your remote via bluetooth.

I am CRAZY about my Squeezebox...had mine for about 2 years now.  
 
 For Ipod speakers, I'd get  these

I was annoyed to find out that Squeezeboxes won't work with network drives.  You have to have a computer turned on for them to work -- which is a pain in the a@@ and kind of contradicts their claim that you don't need your computer.
