Travel system?
Anyone else miss good music when they travel? We travel quite a bit, and I'm always looking forward to getting home to listen to my system - especially after a couple of days of streaming low-res to a hotel or airbnb's alarm clock "stereo".
I was thinking about putting together a simple, small travel system. What I'm leaning towards:
Kef LSX Speakers
Cambridge Audio Minx X201 Sub
Chromecast Audio
I could put this all in a custom pelican-type case and check it in for flights. Should be the size of a roller-bag or smaller. A few of the pelican cases have roller wheels on them. There possibly would be room for cables and maybe some small iso-acoustic stands.
Anyone try this? Any experiences checking in such a system on a flight? If so, would be great to hear what you put together, and if it was worth the effort. I like relaxing on vacation - would be even better if I had some decent tunes.

Have you heard or considered a Naim Muso or a Dynaudio Music? www.naimaudio.com/mu-so-special-edition www.dynaudio.com/home-audio/music |
I do miss it and I don't know what to do with it. Like, a have a decent MP3 player with pak files only, high-quality earbuds it's not the same. I'm going to Tokyo soon https://worldcams.tv/japan/tokyo/shibuya-crossing and I decided just to put off listening to music. After all, the trip is a business one. I'll just shift to books. |
I travel for work a LOT! I truly do not think I could be bothered to put together a portable system although it does sound like a great idea, but for me along with my suitcase, tools, rolling laptop case, just one more item to cause me to want to kill someone when fighting to get on a rental car shuttle! I do miss my main rig a lot but I do have couple pair decent iem phones to help on flights. And at the hotel I stream from phone or laptop via Bluetooth to a small Bluetooth/USB speaker. Not world class but as you cannot crank the vol up in a hotel room anyway without being anti social it works well enough to get me by. |
I travel a lot and I can't imagine my trip without music. My iPhone is full of different playlists, so I always take few power banks in order to listen to music all the time. Also, I like to read and can recommend a good list of books for traveling https://travelsites.com/travel-books/
