  • Re: Any mathematicians out there?

    I'd love for Tournedos and saf to take us through their reasoning in a detailed manner, but I do not see why not winning should have any relevance. @Lee. 120x100/550=21.82% 21.82x4.58=99.93 I'm sure that if you gave us the third decimal, we'd get very close -- not proving anything if the reasoning is wrong, but I don't think it is. The

    I'd get thrown out of the casino if I tried those complicated scribbles. 120x100/550=21.8%

  • Re: Any mathematicians out there?

    Yes. I know my suggestion seems way too simplistic, but you can't aggregate the odds relative to the number of draws, without also aggregating the number of "drawees." And that would be 550x12=6600. Which means you're back where you started, really. And this is why it comes down to the very prosaic 120/550. (And for each double or

  • Re: Any mathematicians out there?

    I always find probabilities paradoxical. But in this case, since no member is eliminated after winning, the odds of winning remain 1/550 for each draw (if there are no additional Gold members); and the odds of winning a prize after a year of draws, are 120/550, if we have only unique winners. The distribution of actual winners will vary, of course,

  • Re: How hard is Bang & Olufsen hit ?

    B&O went up in tune with the increasing availability of easy credit, and crashed when that stopped being available, just like most things in the segment. One could claim that in the feeding frenzy period, when people were throwing money at everthing premium and willingly paying a lot, B&O didn't get the pay-off one would expect, as the share

  • Re: How important are the satellites...?

    Movies today are mixed for a surround experience, so you should consider having speakers in the surrounds. The question is what speakers, and how much should you spend on them. A good way of deciding is to set up your source (in this case the BV7) properly, and connect a pair of loudspeakers to the surround connections. Disconnect your front speakers

  • Re: Most Best Jacob Jensen Design Ever??

    I don't own a Beomaster 1200, Beogram 1200 and Beocord 1200 - and still think they're outstanding. But am also a great fan of the 9500. JJ was an inspired designer.

    From BeoWorld - on designers. JJ gets the 9500, as well.

    This is really hard. Because there's a lot to choose from. Beogram 4000 is outstanding. And the family of turntables derived from that remains beautiful. Yet I agree with the Jarman brothers who ask whether the Beogram 1200 isn't the most beautiful record player ever, in their book on collecting B&O. And combine that with a Beomaster 1200

  • Re: A Beosystem 6500/7000 source mystery!!!

    Shorter version (I've received a few queries, and the above is clearly too dense!) The trick below may work with various B&O audiomasters, not just the Beomaster 6500/7000. I use all three connectors on my BL5s: PL, RCA LINE IN, COAX S/PDIF. The PL goes to a Beomaster 6500, which I set up to listen to radio broadcasts and for other sources.
