cradle delivered with AC adaptator

larditi · 03-20-2007, 05:44

Hi all,

I'm thinking about getting a cradle, which would let me recharge at home with it, and at work with the subpack.

However, I couldn't find any information about whether the cradle is delivered with an extra AC adaptator.
If not, $30 or 20 euros is expensive for a piece of plastic!

So anyone who bought the cradle can give me the info?

Thanks in advance,
Laurent.

I don't think it comes with the adapter. My X5L came with the cradle and the cradle comes in a little box into which an adapter doesn't fit.

The cradle comes with...the cradle, and that's it. Honestly, aside from, to my mind, questionable aesthetic value, I don't see the point of it...though it is harder to lose than the subpack I suppose.

I just bought the cradle last week, and like others have said, that's all you get.

I ordered the cradle... even if not delivered with the charger, I though that was a cool stuff to handle my X5.

But, what a disappointment!!!
The DC and line-out cables do not plug nicely into the cradle.
When I just connect the line-out and touch the X5 on metal parts, there's an horrible noise into the speakers.
Moreover, when I plug the charger and the line-out, this noise is there even when not touching the X5. In summary, I can't play music on X5 connected to my hifi while the charger is plugged-in.

Anybody got the same problems?

Personally, I would not recommend buying this cradle.

The AC adapter plug fits just fine in my cradle and I do not have any of the problems you noted. Sounds like you may have a grouding problem. Test this setup somewhere else in your home or another loccation.

Agreed...I briefly owned a cradle and it worked fine for what it was...
