Wow, how time flies. It hardly seems a year ago we were all busy viewing the new site. Well here's to many more Beoworld birthdays. Also a big thanks to Lee and all of our wonderful moderating team. Van you should not be so modest. Craig

KingStreet: Craig: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. Listening to downloaded copy on my PC at the moment although I do have the original on vinyl. Craig Craig - Do you know Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by the late great Rory Gallagher - from his early 70's album, Blueprint ? not too similar to the Maiden song - but one of my all time favourites

tournedos: (with the 70s Beomaster 2000 as an amp and occasional source of radio programming) Just like the one have sat on my Dining Table right now. Craig

Great idea, and very well done. Craig

Hi Chis, Beoport will give you just what you are after. It is connected to your Beosound4 via Masterlink. It connects to your PC witha USB cable and a connection to the soundcard. Craig

joeyboygolf: Hi Graham, Your cheapest option is a Masterlink cable (I can supply this!) and use the Avant or BV1. Takes up less space too!!! Agree with Graham as this is like my setup. My BS3000 is Masterlinked to my BV3-32, and it works perfectly. There are no external speakers connected to either the Beosound or Beovision. Craig

Great story Peter. Craig
