There's a huge difference between having a personal preference and being biased. You often read reviews on gadget sites and the like that say that the Duet is good, but they PREFER the Sonos although it costs more. It doesn't mean they're biased, it just means that they've used both and have a particular reason for liking Sonos more. Sadly, they often don't justify this reason or back it up with facts. My intention is to change this a little. I'm not going to sprinkle fairy dust and say that I think one sounds better than the other, or that ones looks better than the other...these things are all subjective. But if one unit takes less than one second to start playback of the same file that it takes the other unit three seconds to cue up, then we have a fact based reason for preference. Like, for example, the album art appears almost immediately on the Squeezebox controller screen when scrolling through albums. The Sonos can take a second or so to display the art and, even then, will only display one sleeve at a time. These are important facts and could influence a purchase. On a contrasting note, the Duet Squeezebox Controller can only be charged when in the cradle at an almost vertical angle - there's no separate charger. This makes it almost impossible to use when the battery is flat, another possible factor. I have many preferences here, and those for one product might outweigh another...but don't ever assume that makes me in any way biased. -- jaffacake ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jaffacake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3206 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47145 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
