vikingukBRONZE MemberMy BL3500’s are linked by Masterlink to a BC2 via an old BV5.
In my case the time has to be set on the BV5 and is then transmitted to the BL3500s.

vikingukBRONZE MemberSad news, but thanks for all the context MM.
I always thought Peter’s diagrams and pictures were brilliant, and needed no language translation.

vikingukBRONZE MemberCongratulations to all the winners!
vikingukBRONZE MemberMomentous suspense
vikingukBRONZE MemberWell done ThomasF. I can confirm that they are exceptional headphones.
vikingukBRONZE MemberWell done TWG!
vikingukBRONZE MemberSome prizes seem too good to put into use……. they’re collector pieces.
vikingukBRONZE MemberNearly missed. It!
vikingukBRONZE MemberRadio Paradise is funded entirely on voluntary subscriptions. Twice (?) a year they appeal for funds via the broadcasts, and by emailing registered or previous subscribers. It’s a model that has worked for them for about 15 years, but they do keep adding to their methods of streaming.
Maybe Beoworld can make a twice a year funding appeal in addition to existing subscriptions.

vikingukBRONZE MemberHi Lee,
Difficult. I suspect that many who buy new high end B&O don’t come here these days.The site is useful for repair or compatibility issues for older products.
The old humour – camaraderie has gone from the site, due to members who haven’t renewed, but also from a period when any off-topic humour seemed not to be tolerated….. which was overcome by the old Wednesday evening Wedthred. Present day ‘Wokeness’ probably now makes much comment even less tolerable.
Keep the forum going. Seek out dealer sponsorship, or small commission fees for dealer links. Make the draw only once a year around Christmas.
And why not invite all old members back to a formal site relaunch with a discount offer for gold or silver subscriptions (direct debit or continuing credit card renewing automatically after one year at the full rate?)

vikingukBRONZE MemberMy ancient S45s (sim S45.2) give outstanding performance with crystal clear trebles and deep base.
A BS8 gives great performance (almost as good as the S45’s and remarkable for the size) either via a mk2 iPad or streaming via Chromecast. Lack of stereo separation is the only drawback of this speaker pair, but stereo seems to be out of fashion these days.I still have a pair of Beovox 2600’s which were a great match for the 1200 Beomaster.
The Beovox speakers were often a bit on the big side, but can still match many active speakers without the use of a sub.

vikingukBRONZE MemberI tried sending audio from my Beogram to Chromecast connected speakers via Wi-Fi. This supposedly works using a Beringher module and an old android phone with an app called Vinylcast. Despite all the successes reported online, I could not get the configuration to work.

9 November 2022 at 19:59 in reply to: Are older speakers more pleasant to hear than modern speakers (Beolab)? #40583 vikingukBRONZE MemberNot quite the comparison asked for here, but if I stream radio to my BV11 active speakers, the sound seems slightly sharper than streaming via either a Beomaster 2000 or Olive 1 to Beovox S45’s. Of course this may reflect nothing more than the low frequency capability of the S45’s.
Graham
vikingukBRONZE MemberIf you think of the BV10 or 11 etc, arguably the cheaper component was always the tv screen itself. As TV’s are now relatively cheap, adding a TV to the BS theatre produces a combined product at about the same price as those previous Beovisions, and at least you should be able to upgrade the screen from time to time without replacing the sound bar.
Graham
PS. But I will stick with the BV11 as my main TV!
vikingukBRONZE MemberThis is the product that B&O should have produced 5-10 years ago. Price is a problem going forward, especially as discretionary spending is going to be hit by the economic crisis.
Graham
vikingukBRONZE MemberAnswered by the end of MMs video. Attachment is not a slot but a drop in stand with rear attachment for the screen.
Graham
vikingukBRONZE MemberCould do with a bit more detail on how the tv screen slots in. How stable will the screen support be on the motorised wall hinge version?
Graham
vikingukBRONZE MemberHad a similar problem with my BV 11 pictures posted to Beoworld some years ago, showing how to route the hidden cables from the wall to the hinge area.
A dealer had the nerve to use one picture suggesting it was his own installation. I can’t find it again……. presumably they’ve moved on from installing BV11’s.
vikingukBRONZE MemberWell done to all winners. I can’t believe how I managed to miss the draw, even after getting an email reminder.
Graham
vikingukBRONZE Member1203 radial turntable. Mine’s from 1973 ish. Beefier looking arm than later models, but with SP14 it’s somehow very futuristic looking, even 50 years on.
