While reading through a very, very long thread over on AudioKarma about the Sony XDRF1-HD I read an entry in which someone described his travel bag stereo: the Sony, an iPod, a portable XM radio and a set of paper thin speakers.
It got me to thinking: does anyone actually travel with stereo equipment, or do you just jam an mp3 player in the Dopp kit and call it done?
I know Robert R. wrote a couple of years ago about traveling with Audio Engine 2s, which struck me as a decent idea.
On those few occasions I'm on the road these days, I tend to travel with a Touch, because it's the Swiss Army knife of net/satellite radio and plays a few albums to boot, coupled with one of those little Foxit speakers. (I don't like headphones.)
The Foxits are not 'audiophile,' despite the early reviews, (they're nowhere near, fr'instance, the AE 2s - and I suspect many old hands would laugh me out of the room for considering the AEs 'audiophile') but they're not bad and easy to carry.
So does anybody do anything more elaborate? Anyone take an amp or a turntable?
