FS: Squeezebox Touch (boxed) £75

[Getgaff]

Having recently acquired a new & sealed SBT, this one is now surplus to requirements.

Complete with the original packaging, remote, PSU, RCA cables and manual.

It’s in reasonable condition, the remote is scruffy and it’s just started to become tacky (a common issue with the SBT remote). The screen is unfortunately marked, visible at the right angle under strong light but not seen with normal use - I’ve priced it to reflect this.

Ideal for a second system.

£75 inc. postage to a UK mainland address.

Seems a pity that Logitech made a few products with surfaces that degrade. Real bummer, as otherwise quite good products. Maybe the remotes can be obtained as spares.

I hadn't noticed that as a problem with the remotes, but the Squeezebox Boom is often poor re tackiness. Sad!

I hadn't realised that the Touch may also have issues - I have one of those - I'll watch out for this.

Magik!

Big digital audio guy and Squeezebox evangelist back in the day (an SB2, 3 SB3’s and 2 Touch’s) and still run my Transporter in the office system.
Wrote several VU screensavers based on classic hifi kit (Macintosh amps etc) back in the day, was so sad to see how the product (and concept) was watered down and eventually killed when Slim Devices were sold to Logitech.

Way...WAY ahead of their time (their first network enabled digital file audio player came out in 2003) and so important in the history of digital home audio.
The guy who started it all, Sean Adams , was a Jobs, Gates or Zukerberg, marketing beat him but his idea was world changing.
Enjoyed my online correspondence with him in the Squeezebox forums circa 2007 and onwards.

Just rebought a Touch m’self for a bedroom system into a set of active monitors, setting the Touch up again was a blast from the past and listening now I’m so impressed with the quality of the sound it produces.

A real shame how Corporate greed and politics killed the Squeezebox, but all good things etc, and it lives on in the form of squeeze software and hardware like the Pi, which is coming of age Sound quality wise.

Like everything popular that all of a sudden is no longer available, The Touches were selling for stoopid money a short time back, but given “the rise of Pi” in home audio prices are becoming more sensible.

A big part of getting Pi audio (and audiophilia) to work is understanding andovercoming computer/ network issues....
Various software versions sounding better, tweaks in the OS to get it to have “more analogue quality”

all that schennanigans...
...was sussed out by the Squeezebox guys decades before.
It just works.

Yep, bit of a love letter to Squeezebox, and having looked into (in a Business sense) a “Squeezebox replacement” myself, I’m just sitting here loving the simplicity and tremendous sound quality of my SB Touch into active speakers and I’m reminded of genuinely just how far ahead of its time the Squeezebox was.

Happy another one of us has bought one.

Still use mine every day Gaz! See no reason to replace it and I don't know what I would get if it packed in.
