I would think that setting 'Sub' to beolab 2 and saving the settings ought to work. What happened when you did that?

Hey 10%, I'm just wondering if my expression was 'too strong'. Not that that has often stopped me...you know, open mouth...engage brain...ooopppss.

Puncher, I grant your point. A display which gives feedback while interacting, and then discreetly 'shuts up' is something which B&O have done before. The BS-9000, the BL-3500, etc, etc. I suppose that I latched onto the implication that the display was boring...which seemed off-point to me as the music is expected to be the focus. I will

2 PowerLink Cables, and 3 Mains cords. That will do it! Congrats on the system. Russ

OK...not to be an anorak, nor to imply that B&O have suddenly become 'purists' as such...but isn't the point of serious music listening to just sit and, without reasonable distraction, listen? Is it possible that B&O are purposely eschewing a 'Las Vegas/Tokyo by Night' interface so as not to diminish the auditory experience

Hi Puncher, I know you're not simply trying to stast a fight (Not Irish are you?) I just find Wonderful's fixation on jitter from cd drives curious.... Of course I don't believe in Sterling Silver speaker cables, the beneficial effects of green markers, or global warming. It could be just me. Russ

OK Puncher, Just getting started, but 2 things jump out at me. 1) I did my Google search on 'CD jitter' as I thought that was rather the central issue here. The article you found is a psycho-accoustical study regarding what minimum level of jitter is perceptible to the ears of trained professionals. Fair enough, but.... 2) Right at the beginning

Thanks Puncher...pardon me whilst I peruse a bit.

Not to 'poke the bear' WE...but if you're insisting that we go from CD to hard drive before playback through the high-quality DA's...what does the HDD do with the jitter from the CD drive? And why can't I find an article on jitter dated after 1995?

Perhaps I'm being a bit thick here, the coffee is still kicking in this Sunday.... Despite our wants, desires and expectations the BM-5 is not a stand-alone item. An 'administrating' computer is required. As we all know, Apple doesn't supply a method for ripping directly onto an iPod, the AppleTv requires such a computer, even though
