Well said Trip and welcome back. I hope all is well or at least better? . Alex and myself were a little short-handed defending the BS5 over the last couple of weeks. . I'm sure you can colour it up a little now you are back? The water is lovely and warm! . 10%

I think it will be interesting to review this post in say 12 and 24 months time with the current world-wide economic turndown:- That companies that produce flat-screen TVs weren't making any money in 2007/8 certainly wont be doing so now and at least in 2009 and probably later. There will be less general demand. Will this anticipated lack of demand

So taking rgbyhkr's recommended price list....doing away with the Apple remote etc.. (lets face it...if you wanna do Apple you may as well go full-hog with Apple and do your whole fully loaded system for a few hundred quid) and other "also work" add-ons which need a PhD in applied electronics. And then we pitch in around the myriad of

woops wrong post

I think you will get a better response from your dealer. They are the "shop-front" in the B&O organisation and should work to solve the customers problems. They will go in over the dealer network direct to B&O and get a response on your behalf. 10%

Ok – I know two-fifths of F/A on this but here goes….. Page 73 of the service manual references Module 51 (B&O’s Area 51 equivalent!!) “ML-PL Module” There seems to be a DA1852 DAC which I don’t think is standard in any Soundblaster but standard in a lot of good CD transports, a MAS3530 DSP (whatever that is

I've had the Serenata for a year now. Originally I was very sceptical. However, having succumbed, I find that the phone really easy to use, that it has limited features (which I like) and that once you get used to the texting, things really well thought-out. In ‘phone mode the sound is clear and its internal stand makes it a really good mobile

This is the way I have read it.... Sooloos $13,000 and you don't get a remote! Olive $ 2,000 Probably the cheapest of the lot (excl. Apple) but tiny screen Qsonix 110 $ 5,500 for a box and touch-screen. Kaledascope $20,000 start and anywhere due north! Escient $ 6,000 on the box plus touchscreen (add ~$1200) Request S4.8 $13,000 plus touchscreen

Russ, No I don't think it was - just nicely put. Having more time to think of appropriate words and feelings, there are different camps out their and all are entitled to their opinions here in this forum. I strongly feel that a great deal of effort has gone into this device to make it simple - albeit inherently complex when dealing with a PC platform

Nicely put Russ. I was going to script something very similar but thought it was going to be too "strong" to publish. I think the whole concept of the BS5 is simplicity and that the real design issues are how to make it outwardly simpler and simpler. I'm sure a red, white, blue or green LED simulation of volume, balance, time elapsed etc
