I must say Camshaft, I'm enjoying this tremendously! I can't put aside comparisons completely, because I used to have a "laboratory" much like this until I was in my mid twenties. I didn't build stereos, but I tinkered with electronic keyboards and synthesizers, either altering or repairing them. At that point in my life I expected

Indeed it was John. However, I am now working on my magnum opus of responses! Stay tuned.

Well played Camshaft...

By the way, Soundproof, I am willing to admit that all of my advocacy for and defense of Bang & Olufsen (in the varity of moods and states of inibriation in which they're pounded out) could certainly make me come off as the guy in the park with the tin foil hat screaming about the cameras the government has put in his head. If that guy is worth

Jeez, I'm taking heat for what I think was one of my nicer posts! I really do understand where camshaft is coming from. I was totally sincere in what I said to him in that I held very similar views at his age. I can't help that I'm older now and have a broader understanding of things. I also realize I'm not perfect, but I am a tireless

I think Camshaft can take it. The smiley face was quite sincere, as is Camshaft's opinion. I think he sounds like a very mature guy and will likely wind up to be a very thoughtful and successful Bang & Olufsen owner.

Stephen Colbert, beloved American pundit, had a hilarious saying: "I can't prove it... but I can say it!" I think that a system that is effectively a network, that has to have its own simplified network language and addressing system such as B&O integrated systems is fine at certain levels, but when it starts getting to the point where

Camshaft, With all due respect, your perspective has some growing to do. I think, though, that I thought very much the way you do at your age. It's the solipsism so carefully honed in one's teen years that makes you think that your perspective as a fairly young man who's yet to make his fortune can illuminate the first thing about the honest

I thank Russ for his eloquent defense here. Camshaft, I understand that the statement that you've plucked out is a rather bold one, but Russ' point about Frank Lloyd Wright's interactions with his clients is spot on. What end users want in terms of features and how they behave with products once they own them is largely influenced not by

I'm not sure about the AppleTV, though I, too, thought it was an "always on" device. As for some insight into the STB not being shut off, if the BeoVision 8 is anything like the BeoSystem 3, peripheral devices cannot be shut off unless a standard composite video cable (the yellow one) is connected. On the BeoSystem 3, only this socket
