Thanks Steve/Jeff Sounds like I'm not the only one who's a fan then! Really pleased with mine. Maybe I need a white key version as well!!

Actually Mika's post made me remember to point out that mine has the optional stereo decoder fitted. Wonder if it has two RIAA pre-amps?? Thinking about the BV1000s too, I probably won't bother as I really like CX50s!

Thanks Jeff! I might take a look. One other question. I have an input from my Airport Express running into an adjacent Beolab 5000 amp.
