We talked about a highly praised $30.00 amplifier on a previous podcast here is some feedback from a listener.
Comments:
I thought I’d chime in on this $30 amp thing since I bought one a while back. Actually, you can buy not just the amp but some really interesting speakers made from cardboard :) along with it. Go to Amazon.com and search for “sonic impact 5053” and you’ll find the “SoundPax Portable 19″ Flat-Fold Speakers”. Searching elsewhere on the net you can find a few reviews of these speakers. I was so intrigued by this that I figured I’d order a pair. They’re kinda neat! They come in their own carrying case and I found they’re much louder than any other “portable speakers” out there, while still running on batteries. My wife runs dance classes every now-and-then and needed some type of boombox which she could use to amplify her MD player. (She uses an MD player so she can dynamically set track marks in order to rehearse sections over and over.) I looked at a lot of options and finally decided these are really the best choice for truly portable (i.e., battery powered) and still reasonably loud, speakers. They’re also very light!
Not absolutely top quality in fidelity, but definitely worth the money!
