Yup, but the tube counts as many rubber feet! ;-) (Infinitely many?)

Yes, I think you could chop it up into at least 30 or 40 little feet,
making the SB at least 15-20 times better than even the finest
two-rubber-feet device!

You can hear the sound coming out of the box when it's sitting on the

Why do you think they would do those things when it would likely result in far fewer sales? Presumably they purchased SD based on their audiophile reputation. It seems unlikely to me that they would soil it. I'm guessing they'll leave SD to operate themselves as long as they turn good profits.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't care if I am a member of a select club or not, I don't care about the label on the front -- for me, it is about the music. I'm going to wait and see. I'm happy with the products I have, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future brings.

I disagree with the statement that Logitech will ruin Slimdevices. In
fact the evidence seems to indicate just the opposite.
I was an early adopter of the Harmony product (before their acquisition
by Logitech). I thought it was the best universal remote on the market
and the software capability

I am not an audiophile, but I have a fairly extensive CD collection

Although I was looking at Harmony remotes for a long time, I didn't take
the plunge until after the Logitech buyout. I now have the 880 and love
the remote but hate the (web-based) software. I'd be curious to know

smc2911: In my opinion (having used the software both before and after
the acquisition) the Harmony software is essentially unchanged. The one
major improvement is the web access time - after the acquisition the
access was much faster. Before the acquisition it was often unusable.

The Harmony web interface is basically identical to the original
pre-Logitech version. They did however just release a new setup
application which runs outside of a browser. It looks feels much

As a longtime Pronto owner, I thought the web-based programming of the
Harmony was a breeze in comparison. It makes a lot of sense - it's
cross-platform, the list of devices is huge, and it keeps a copy of
your configuration on the web server. These are all major improvements
