I don't think the Transporter is revolutionary. Its core functionality is hardly new. I don't think a $25 remote would make things sound better, but if you are completely dependent on a remote, it could improve your versatility. You could create macros and separate visual pages for each component. I use the Philips TSU7500 and find it very useful for my myriad of components. Nevertheless, i don't like having to carry my remote when I walk up to my components to change things such as CDs or DVDs. It isn't a matter of liking to play with buttons. It is simply about having choices. The Transporter isn't meant to be the best "value." If you want that, stick to the SB3's digital outs. Unless you are using the integrated Tact amps, aren't you driving it with some sort of preamp, whether that be your source or a true preamp? The only reason the S2150 doesn't need a volume dial is b/c it can't act as a standalone integrated. All of Tact's other gear which can, have an enormous dial. The one on my TCS MKII is the mother of all dials. -- Sleestack *headphone:* singlepower sds-xlr at, esoteric d-03/p-03, hd650, k701 & sony qualia *2 channel:* tact rcs 2.2.xp w/ full aberdeen mods, bel canto oneref. 1000 monoblocks x 4, aberdeen northstar transport, epiphany 12-12s (waiting for my 20-21s), tact w210 corner load subs *5.1 channel:* tact tcs mkii w/ aberdeen power supply, tact boz 216/2200 (x5) w/ aberdeen power supply, tact adc6 w/ full aberdeen mods, denon 5910, bel canto pl-1a, eggleston andra ii (x5), velodyne dd-15, panaonic th-65pf9uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sleestack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30243 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
