I was wondering what are the most common format B&O owners use.

For me its mostly good old vinyl. Based on the sound and no cd player plugged in the Beomaster 6000.

I got a DAT machine too. Sometimes it gets played but rarely.

Radio to boring so never long. Can't find a good TV channel to watch(mostly) so the VX7000 gets used but it depends on what I want to watch.

As the Beocord 9000 works brilliantly and sounds really good I still got alot of tapes that could be better off in a better format but its a long job to convert them all and whats the use for the Beocord then?

Since the pc now takes Dvds its a mixture of the LX5500 or the computer Sony LCD screen.

Radio first, then MP3, then vinyl and lastly CD. Hardly ever use tape now despite the 5500 and 9000 being ready and willing!

• iTunes for background listening (running through the B&O system)

• Vinyl (for when I want to listen to music properly)

• CD (for when I don't have the album I want to listen to in good condition on vinyl)

• Simplify Media (for when I want to listen to an album I don't have, or just want to discover something new)

• Internet Radio

Play the following formats:

1. iTunes (MP3)
2. Internet radio
3. DVD
4. Vinyl
5. CDs

Do not use:

- Video
- HD
- DAT
- Cassette
 

May be interesting doing a poll to see which is the most commonly used or preferred music format
