[78-L] An Acoustic Horn for your Iphone

[Leroy Barco]

The Ampli-phone works great with the iPhone 3 and 4. One goes in the holder
one way, the other facing the other way.

You can get amplification from any large cup, bowl, box, corner of your
kitchen or bathroom counter. The  Ampli-phone sounds better.

If you have a different form factor player that doesn't fit, consider
getting a cheap old iPhone/Pod that does. A lot of them have Internet
capability with WiFi, no phone plan needed.

Then you can listen, not just to favorites from your collection, but also
all the streaming radio stations and podcasts that play 78 era sound.
