OK Computer on CD, my last REAL purchase.

Although what feels like a new purchase, my B&W DM7s. They were sat in the top of the garage for ages, I was using my little DM303s and a Yamaha sub (ewww) because they could play louder. I got bored the other night though, so I thought it would be interesting to listen to them this time being driven by the Beosystem (not heard this setup before).

WOW, they are just UNBELIEVABLE! The soundstage is as good as BL3s IMO, but only if you sit smack bang in the right place. Bass is pretty stupendous too! Don't play very loud though, but I can't believe how fantastic all my music sounds...

Surprise

 

Very nice. Wonder if Ridax's Ipod dock works with a BM6000?

HDR1

The hard disc is 17 hours in total (80gb).
In the first week I managed to fill it completely.
Now I'll let the HDR1 do it's job, deleting old info and replacing it with new fresh films and series...

It's just what I want.
Simple in use.
Feedback quality is o.k.


Actually there are already 100 GB 1.8" drives available with 120 GB drives arriving very soon. Alternatively do as I do and carry two (an 80GB and a 60 GB) or just the one and a gently modified 12" Powerbook with a 160 GB HD.
A 4106 stand for my old LS. I was going to buy a NOS stand from Lee, but then I found a s/h one located here in Sweden .
Graeme:
Yip thats the one. It is in really good condition. I bought it for my bedroom, it will be driving a pair of RL6000 and an Ipod will be the source. It is a really sweet sounding amp, and it looks cool, my wife even said "Is that the one for the bedroom, its lovely"Surprise

Now that is a good question😁

After ages of no purchases I've taken the plunge:

In a week or so am hoping to see my avatar change. The lab8000 (and lab6000 rears) have been traded in for lab9s and lab3 wall-mounted rears.

I'm very excited - delivery in the next week or so.

Intesting question to any lab9 upgraders - if you had a lab2, did you keep it? 
My dealer was convinced I wouldn't (maybe he had a buyer that wanted my 8000s, 6000s and lab2 as a set) and on CDs there really wasn't anything in it (maybe even slightly better clarity without a lab2). But on movies I felt there really was something lacking without the sub. Interested in other thoughts - maybe it should be a new topic - apologies don't want to hijack this - just excited about my new speakers!
my wife has serene as a test drive. not sure whether she is going to keep it or not (yet). she really likes the design.

i've been investigating on furniture. mainly scandinavian (alvar aalto etc.)
I've ordered two Beoworld.org mugs and a polo shirt can't wait to sit reading the threads while sipping my coffee from my new mugCoffeePizza
I purchased a used steel wok today for $9.99 Au, or around 4 pounds in your language and I am STOKED.

B&O purchases....ummmm, 4 coasters...which are of a variety that I would be suprised if youve seen.
