Beogram 8000 Beomaster 6500?
in BeoGram · Feb 9, 2012 13:13A friend has a Bg8000 and wonders if his Beomaster 6500 can control it through the Phono-DIN. He doesn't want to connect the unit before I've checked here for him (having already fritzed a Sugden amp, he's become wary). …

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 14, 2011 04:09I keep switching back and forth between these two ways of setting them up - loving how Lewis' BV8 matches the Beosystem range from decades earlier.

Unpacking Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 2, 2011 03:121. Take your watch off your wrist and rings off your fingers. You may also want to consider not wearing a belt while getting the speakers in place. You don't want to scratch the large aluminium platter once you begin. 2.…
Beolab3 and Macbook Pro
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 1, 2011 09:01A wise set-up. You get a very good signal out of the MBP, your DAC processes it, and you can control volume from the DAC. This way, the inferior DAC in the MBP is not part of the signal chain, and your speakers are prote…

Apple & B&O: is imitation the best form of flattery??

Apple & B&O: is imitation the best form of flattery??
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 27, 2011 13:14I don't think voice control is the key to Apple's TV-sets, it's the integration to the cloud. When I updated to iOS5, I suddenly found I could access all the movies and tv-series I had bought over the years on all my App…
Apple & B&O: is imitation the best form of flattery??
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 27, 2011 12:53I actually love/like/enjoy B&O more than I do Apple's products. I'm not out to bash B&O - I have spent lots of money on B&O products through the years, and I've had/have great times using them. B&O lost the plot, they've…
