Nice setup, was it difficult to respray the speakers? That cable looks great too, perhaps i should order one. Perhaps you could check if the cable you already got for the computer works between the BC9500 and the poweramp? Is this cable the one?: http://www.flashbacksales.co.uk/acatalog/5_Pin_DIN___Phono_Cables.html again the problem is wheater the

Nope, should not be more difficult. The thing to remember is that a five-lead din plug/cable carries both in and out signals in both channels (eg like for a tape recorder). And on a powerlink socket the pins carrying the out signal is the exact same pins carrying the in singal in a din cable. It took me a while of studying the configuration of the powerlink

Hi there No problem, just use a Din to RCA convertercable, and only use the IN-leads as out-leads to the in-connectors on the amp. Plug the Din-plug into a powerlink socket. I do this to get the powerlink signal on my ouverture to a rega amp. Use the balance-controls to identify left and right. To turn on the amp, i use a TV-energysaving plug (i have

But I would hate to part with it, and it still plays a cd nicely (smooth and pleasant sound). I havent bought any B&O lately, besides a used Beosound 2, lovely machine, and it was cheap too

Of the systems you have mentioned only the Ouverture got masterling, and can therefore be linked directly (without any adapters) to your Avant. I started with the table top ling rectangular system (beocenter 9000), and then got booth the stack (beosystem 5000 (or 5500 and so on)) and an Ouverture. I love them all, but they are all quite different. The
