Mine are also bought from a B&O dealer, and I got the same Y connection between the cables, as described on the "fake" ones.

I enjoy my iPhone, on flights and such, but sometimes, I hate to drag along such a "big" and sensitive player as the iPhone. The BS 2 looks like tough little thing. I have the A9 keyring, and I guess this is as durable? But can I buy the BS2 without the Earphones? Since I already got them,

Is the beosound 2 any good?

Simple; as I mentioned in the other thread I would without a doubt choose the BS9000.

That's the thing, I enjoy loading them, handling the cases, and looking at the booklets... I guess it's love

Well for me it's an easy choice, I'm about to buy a BS9000. Since I have an extensive CD collection, and enjoy listening to them. Also for the reason that my current BC2300 doesn't have a S/PDIF out for the Lab5's...

And also I don't think lossless would help, since MP3 sounds pretty good from the right equipment, but awful from for example the iPhone via headphone jack.

How much does a tube for the avant cost?

Yes.

Yes but I think he is looking for a portable player, and let's say that most small ones are around 10-20gb, makes space sparse for lossless.
