It's the old case of the strong will get stronger here i think. Look at the best sports teams - when they are champions/winners, all the best players want to play for them and the team gets stronger. I think the same is happening for Apple - the best programmers and minds are heading for the doors of Apple. They are a pretty 'cool' company

hebo: Lee, Is there any pic of you white Avant? I guess it´s quit stunning.... I´m I right??? It was done for the manager of a B&O store here in the UK. However, i dont have any images of it - but possibly someone saved one on here? Lee

There's an FAQ which may help here . However, i can tell you now that the 5005 doesn't have an inbuilt RIAA pre-amp. Lee

hebo: BTW Lee; didn't you paint an Avant in a more girly and not-very-B&O-color ? I did an avant for my Daughter in Candy Pink - she still has it in her bedroom with a pink feather boa draped around the screen surround! Lee

The white is BMW Diamond White, and the Black one is Audi Phantom Black. The third one is just a plain factory finish for comparison! LOL - All finishes are gloss by the way. We still have the Lamborghini white one as our showroom demo, but we are currently doing another Audi Phantom Black one at the moment! After that - who knows.. suggestions please

Just thought you might like to have a look! All are sold, and we were just packing them up but spotted a photo opportunity!!

Well, i've had a total of ONE additional set of answers, so there is a 100% chance that the fourth person to enter has won a bracket! If anyone would like to ruin that 100% chance, and perhaps put themselves in the running - please feel free to enter!! Lee

In fairness - if i launched it on Monday, people would complain on Tuesday that they weren't online Monday. If i launch it on Tuesday, people on Wednesday will complain they weren't online Tuesday and it isn't fair. I can't win on this one, and won't even try! However - no need to delete this thread or be affronted. One more bracket

beojeff: Such a blatant and obvious advertisement. Very inappropriate in a forum.. I'm sure the three people that won brackets won't mind. Plus, without STB's sponsorship we wouldn't be able to have a forum like this. Lee

All three brackets how now been won !! Wow - now that was fast!!! Lee
