This thread reminds me of how, many years ago, I got the best reception
from my television with a rabbit ears antenna on top. I had my little
brother stand next to the tv holding the antennas and adjusting them as
needed.

I keep mine right next to my bed. Just within arms reach when I'm on my
laptop, or reading a book. (or, you know, falling asleep, which i do
sometimes as well)...
Personally, If I had enough money, I'd install one of these things in
the wall next to every light switch in my house. That'd just be
Interesting topic, I plan to get a touch for my spare
room/office/upstairs stero system. When the room is being used as an
office I can use the web interface, when the stereo is being used as the

Mine is the kitchen and is controlled via the touch screen interface 90%
of the time, its great and very nice to use.

My decent audio-only setup has the amp, Squeezebox, and CD player by the
main seating position. I think it's funny how many people with
audio-only setups still put their gear dead center between their
speakers. Makes sense for those of you with $5,000 USD setups with

It's supposed to be whatever you want it to be ;o)
For a long time during the testing period I used mine only as a

Exactly. I don't see the problem here. It's a player with a display

Good point. I don't think the fancy knob on the Transporter could have
been very cheap. On that note, I'm puzzled by the

Hi, excuse a rather dumb question ... but exactly where are you supposed
to position a Touch?
Given the touch screen I'd have assumed it was meant to be located very
close to the user, maybe on a table by the sofa? But if that's the case
how do you connect it to the hifi, which typically would

You are supposed to buy two of them - one to be positioned next to your
sofa as a controller, and the other one in the stereo rack as a player.

If it simply replaces the SB3 then I don't see the advantage of the

Seems rather gimmicky to me, especially given a network music player
there's hardly a rational need to walk over to your hi-fi, except
perhaps to turn it on/off if you've unplugged it or powered it
