couldn't use a volume attenuator to adjust the output? obviosuly, the best thing you could do is buy a real mic with phantom power and a nice preamp. I know m-audio makes some small reasonably priced pres.

Jay481985: on the other hand, you can get a really long 1/8 ministereo wire and have the zune in your hand or right next to you? ...or get an iPod :)

I usually would say, that you are better off using the best possible cables, but in the case of the iFi, you really aren't going to notice a different. I use Apature 16 gauge cables with mine, but those were scraps laying around from my home theater system. It really won't make a noticeable difference.

rickth1: Jay... w hile I appreciate your perspective, I am aware of many.. many products brought to market in my lifetime (57 years so far) with some design or production flaw. Unfortunately these things happen. I happen to use many electronic devices daily, I am right now actually... and the iFI dock stands out as a product with issues. If the reports on this forum don't illustrate the issue to you and you see it as user error, well, that’s you perspective, but products can turn out bad sometimes

nope... the OP is correct—the 80 GB is the same as the 60 in thicknes...

nothing wrong there...thats just how it operates when you adjust the volume.

Is the whole knob missing or just the little red piece? If the whole knob is missing...thats a problem. If its just the little red piece, you should be fine. Good Luck Although, it the knob is missing, they are probably still under warranty and you could probably have the satellite replaced for free...

Well, the iFi has a more accurate sound, not such boomy bass. Have you tried cranking the bass up with the control dock? If you have, and still feel that the bass is underwhelming, then yeah, go for the promedias....but I love my iFi.

yes, get a cheap 3.5 mm stereo mini jack cable and plug one end into the subwoofer, and one into your pc.
