I don't have a stereo on my boat, but we've thought about installing one this year.... one feature we can no longer do without is satellite radio..... I've been slow to warm up to the ipod phenomenon. Guess I'm just enough of an old fart that I'm not as adaptable as when younger. However, there is a device into which you plug an ipod or other digital storage device that will broadcast the contents a few feet on a dedicated FM band. If an old-fashioned (!) CD player has an FM tuner, it's possible to play the ipod material through a standard stereo system so that more than one person can listen to the music: (What a concept!) |

Boss, Jensen and some of the other units I have seen all have at least one auxialiary input for Ipods and the like. This Boss unit has two, one on the front and one in the rear to accomodate an input from a remote location. Larry Weiss "...Ever After!" |

One of the Burt Reynolds movies or TV shows, his caddie had the record player. As to records, funny comment. My daughter is a therapist for handicapped children. She brought her old Phiser-Price record player into her office one day. One of the little kids picked up a 78 rpm record and stated that "is the biggest CD I ever saw.". You forget the kids of today, never had records or cassettes. |
