in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 26, 2009 19:39Hello all, It has certainly been quite a while since I have posted here. I have recently been gifted a selection of items of vintage B&O hardware, these were; a Beomaster 1001, a Beocenter 2100, a pair of Beovox 2702s an…
B&O in the car - complete system for 985€ in the new AUDI A4
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 6, 2007 20:18It's £525 in the UK but there is no ALT in the A4. I have heard the Advanced Audio System in the R8 and it is truely stunning. Nicholas
Noooo! It's random shutdown syndrome!
in Beo-Mac · Dec 6, 2007 20:04I replaced my 12" Powerbook with a MacBook for the size but then needed the Power of a MacBook Pro so purchased one as well. I like the portability of the MacBook (I have removed the optical drive and hard drive and it n…
I love plastic

My BL 9 stop working!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2007 04:45I remember having the same thoughts as you when my Beo4 stopped working. But the service was so good when I went to my dealer (they just gave me a brand new one even though it was 6 months old), that all the ills thought…
Serenata & Louis Vuitton: here we go again!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2007 04:41I agree with you both. I have had a number of items in nomade from LV before and, although beautiful, durability was not their strong point. I now use damier items day to day for their durability and the fact that they s…

New iPod Speakers System
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 22, 2007 18:35Yes I saw this one a little while ago and have heard very favorable things about it. It is also one of the few that works correctly with the iPhone (most disable the phone function during use). I would like to compare it…
Serenata & Louis Vuitton: here we go again!

BeoSound 6
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 22, 2007 07:18A good analogue regarding Bristol and Audi. I think that is pretty spot on. It really is horse for course. Nicholas
Serenata & Louis Vuitton: here we go again!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 20, 2007 20:51I think it is better than the attempt they made with the Serene case. As a big Louis fan I am already on the list for their iPhone case it's just unfortunate how restrictive they are regarding the patterns it is availabl…
BeoSound 1 in Green has landed !!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 20, 2007 20:49Does not tempt me in the slightest. I'm more than happy with mine in silver for the time being. Maybe the black or the blue at a later date but most definitely not the green. I really do enjoy things like this polarizing…
Have any UK beoworlders purchased an iphone?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 17, 2007 19:07I bought two on launch day. One for myself and one as a gift. I am in love with the device even after doing the maths that it is going to cost me £1400 over the next 18 months(£269 for the handset, £55 a month for 18 mon…
And we thought that Beo5 was expensive!!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 16, 2007 12:59I thought it was an A9 when I first saw it. It certainly does seem that it's design is B&O influenced. Nicholas
Where to sell 2nd hand B&O?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2007 14:27Stating the obvious here, but it may be worth having a chat with one of the few pre-owned specialists. They may offer you a good price for them. Nicholas

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2007 14:23Now now, his typo rate is much lower than mine usually is. It can be proof read later. I just like the style this review is being done in. Nicholas
A8s - are they easy to repair?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2007 16:18I would like to know how easy the A8's are the take apart at the earphones, as I am intending on replacing the cable with the iPhone mic cable. I have already done this with my Etymotics in preparation but that was a muc…
B&O and flatmates
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 1, 2007 14:38I regularly bring out my Beosound 1 for parties in my student flat. It's pretty much perfect for it and touch wood there have been no incidents. Nicholas
New Earset 3 with switch
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 1, 2007 14:34Is it just me or does this just appear to be some A8's Photoshopped on to a photo of the Serenata? There is no picture of Earset 3 by itself. I would really like a bit more information about it. Nicholas
