Bose's iPod SoundDock Reviewed

LabRat007 writes "Playlist has a review of the Bose SoundDock, the desktop speaker system for the iPod that Bose has lately been promoting the holy hell out of. The long and the short is that it sounds great--better than any other iPod-specific speaker system--but for $300 is lacking in many features even cheaper setups have, like the ability to actually use the SoundDock as a syncing dock. Oh, and it has no line-in, so you can't use the SoundDock as output for anything else, like a PC or laptop, for instance." It's not quite as cute, but I like my Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 (now superseded by the Model 730) as a laptop loudspeaker system.

None.

I disagree. I just read your other reply and you spent $400 on video cables and $300 on speaker cables. That's plain nuts. I work with electronics and I can pass a 10GHz signal over a $50 cable with negligible distortion. There is no realistic justification for the prices you're advocating.

Oviously the "real" serious audiophiles with the golden ears, will spend more. Hey everyone has a hobby

Yeah, well I have a very negative opinion of audiophiles. I rate them somewhere between astrologists and TV evangelists.
