Logitech Squeezebox Duet, Radio, Boom, Touch
« on: 14 Sep 2020, 01:59 am »
Hello,

Finally going to begin moving away from the Squeezebox ecosystem. Don't worry - I'm not getting a Sonos! But I have for sale (in order of desirability):

Touch - $143
Duet - $77
Boom - $67
Radio - $53

These are networked audio players (like Sonos) with a focus on sound quality (unlike Sonos, whose focus is on convenience, looks, and easy installation). Touch and Duet are meant to be the centerpiece of a hi-fi system (which mine have been), Boom and Radio are standalone complete with surprisingly good speakers. Those are actively bi-amplified, like studio monitors, meaning one amplifier for the tweeter(s), and one for the woofer(s), with an active crossover. Very good sound quality.

I used these with a very fancy stereo, with the music source being a dedicated NAS (network attached storage) redundant hard drive unit with my collection of several hundred CDs painstakingly losslessly ripped to FLAC for the Squeezeboxes. If you have any questions about streaming digital audio, for quality, I can probably answer them. I have spent years building up my stereo system, and the Squeezebox has been the centerpiece of it for the last while. I recently found a very beat up Squeezebox Touch for cheap, so I'm keeping that and selling off the rest. I recommend using ethernet for the best connection, though the wireless works fine as long as you have 2.4GHz wireless G (it won't connect to a wireless N network, only G). I have remotes for all of them. Lots of remotes! They're all interchangeable, and I used none of them - I prefer using my Android phone to control them (the Squeezer app is excellent for that).

Can be picked up locally in Los Angeles, or shipped (paid by buyer).

Hello,

All still available! Slowly transitioning towards a Raspberry Pi based system emulating ... Squeezebox.  :lol: Still seems to be one of the better streaming solutions, even though the hardware is getting a bit long in the tooth!

Price drop:
Touch - $133
Duet - $67

Both together: $180 ($20 off)

All plus actual shipping costs from Los Angeles.

Cheers!

for some reason I can't send private messages anymore...
but here goes:

Hi there,
I am interested in the squeezebox Touch, Duet and Radio.
How much would all 3 be shipped to zip code 32832?
I can pay through PayPal.

Do you have the original packaging still?
And the condition is good to very good I assume? (like the usual swirl marks and so on)

THanks,
Raymond
