Who would have thought that a thread i started to see what kind of nifty DIY and other franken-systems people use camping / festivals / outdoor parties would basically become a place for people to bitch about festival behavior of others.
This thread is asking what type of playback you or your buddies might run.
I was looking for the late night chill or Sunday morning coffee / book reading with a nice small playback that a small group of like 3 or 4 people could enjoy w/o annoying others.
I think some of you need to stop going to festivals, you seem to old or too much of a curmudgeon to enjoy yourselves. All of the complaints in here are rendered null by simply using ear plugs. That is what I do and it makes for great neighbors.
Ha! well played sir
well after all my complaining will say that for situations such as you describe above i simply use a Sirius satellite radio that has an 1/8" aux input and just plug in my deck....sounds pretty good, has a bass boost and it didnt cost a fortune....it does run of d batts but i have some adaptors and i just use rechargeable aa's.
i also have some wireless rocketfish gear that is cool because all the decks can stay in the tent/camper and the wireless speaker has volume control on it....it also runs of batts
fwiw, the earplugs dont cut it for me at the bigger fests and i have moved on to a combination of earplugs and gun range earmuffs, that seems to work out pretty well except i cant sleep on my side....a nice hotel room is the best pair of earplugs ive ever used
