My "hi fi" system includes a late '20s University radio driver which must weigh 10 pounds, attached to a formerly oak-grained 10-panel Cygnet horn. For portable use, I have an mp3 player rubber-banded to a set of cheapo amplified speakers, which works remarkably well & fits in the breast pocket o

Very interesting idea! It's sort of like that miniature Orthophonic horn that Bob Baumbach created for the MP3 player. The player fits into a socket and the music is acoustically amplified through the horn. It is a cool device too! John --- On Mon, 2/14/11, Vinyl Visions wrote: From: Vinyl Vis
