Some days ago I brought home my parent's old MX4500. It had been sitting in their garage for some weeks. It had developed quite soft pictures so my parents bought a Phillips LCD instead. That left me with a MX4500. When I got it home and plugged it in and turned it on, it went bang, I opened it and there was a large spark right beside what I thing

soundproof: ChrDH: Looks interesting! Which one of the cables would I be needing to connect my Ouverture (Powerlink) to my Rega amp (RCA), bearing in mind that using a normal Din-RCA converter I have to use the 'Line In' cords on the Rca part to get the sound from the Powerlink? (The 'line in' pins on a Din connector is the 'line

soundproof: OK. I remain among the world's great cable skeptics. But I'm also pleased that I just got a set of cables from Flashback Sales for my B&O classic amps. I'm using them between the DACs and the AUX-IN on a Beomaster 7000 and Beolab 5000. Excellent and fast service by Dave at Flashback (who should advertise here). He supplies

Hi Daniel (tak for sidst :) ), what do you mean by hidden devices? Visually hidden or?? best regards Chr.

Thanks Martin, I'll try the rotation-trick. The hum is not annoying in any way, just odd. I am more concerned about the heat. Is it normal that it generates heat when in stand-by? At the moment, it is switched entirely off, as I don't wan't the room to get any hotter (In Denmark at the moment, we got clear skies and 30 degrees celsius, a

Hi there The other day I noticed that my Beomaster 5000 is humming slightly, both when turned off and when on. There is no hum in the output signal, one can only hear the hum when one lays the ear to the Beomaster. Also I noticed that the beomaster is developing some heat (not that much, but some), even when it is turned off. How worried should I be

Gatex: The Beosound 5 will be this Samsung http://www.mediasklep.pl/catalog/images/mix/mix49554.jpg repacked as BnO design. After we have seen the BS6, this really is scarry... Suppose B&O really pulled something like that off, like they did with the beocenter 2200. Man, are we going to be cross.. I hope the BS5 will be high end, something that
