Re: Degen 1103 portable radio version 2.0

Yep point taken but be aware that you can get better travelling radios. The 1103 is indeed a budget priced radio and the sound is okay but not good. Then it does have some overloading issues to consider. Some of what the 1103 offers - including setting presets is very difficult for a

Ah yes no doubt about it, when in their proper place and when you're sitting down in your proper place they're excellent and again I say that the MM1's are the best computer speakers I've heard given their size, the fact they're not relying on any sub-woofer system at all etc. I hope you get

That is certainly true about the MM one and sound projection. They do sound best when you're sitting at your desk with the speakers appropriately placed. But, when you are in that position, they really are awesome. I have never heard the a-seven. But I'm sure it must be very good. I have never

Yep fair point about the “Standby” issue unless something could trigger them through the USB port connection perhaps? I’ll do some research on that later on today. You’re right about opinion on sound being very subjective . The one thing I’ll say about the M1’s from hearing them that often is

The price is fairly typical yes but I have a question, you have a Sony 2010 do you not so why do you want to downgrade to a Degen 1103? That’s pretty much what your doing. The Degen is a much smaller size and - whilst there’s no argument whatever that as a budget radio it performs very well -

Well, opinion of sound is always quite subjective, but I think the BMW M1 is a wonderful speaker. For their size, they are downright amazing. They are a small desk top speaker. And yes, even though I have left mine on occasionally for quite some time, and the right speaker did get rather warm,

I have been considering the purchase of the Degen 1103. But when I went to search for it, I found that there is a version 2 release. About the best price I noted was $55.00 U.S. with $24 for shipping from Hong Kong. I therefore have two questions. First, is this price fairly typical?

I agree. But there's a setting that enables you to have the speakers turn off each time you turn off the computer. This has saved me when going away for the weekend, never mind on vacation. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Mary Otten

This beaker containing all the amplification stuff does get hot. If you leave it on for a long time. If you just turn it off when you're not using it, it's fine. But if you forget and leave it on for a long time as I have done on occasion, yes, it does get hot. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On

Hi there! I know that people on this list have these speakers and I’m saving for a pair myself. So to my question, I read another review on these fine speakers which states that the speakers get hot after use. Well I’ve seen and listened to them enough and I’ve never noticed any real heat

Peter, I didn't notice any disadvantages but I probably don't use Sound Forge at the level that some of you do. At some point, I started having trouble with selecting audio with mark in and mark out, and I don't know what the source of that trouble is. I think I had that trouble with Sound
