david coyne: Hello All (and especially B&O!!!)I have in the last twelve months bought a new Beocentre 2 with DAB option. All up about $7,000 AUD (almost 3,500 pounds).Digital radio in Australia is about to switch from DAB to DAB + protocol, a more advanced medium I understand. Australia is one of the first countries to use this protocol.Unfortunately

Thanks again Stefan and others ! I will be patient. From what you all have said, all is good with Ridax as a business which is reassuring to know.

Thanks for that Darren, but surely any 'business' would have an automated 'out of office' system to respond to emails from what may be potential customers?

wtlc2zpx: We are sometimes moaning at the price of B&O, but at least their product, and especially the LC2s work for years... p. That thought had crossed my mind also!

stefan: I bought the famous ridax ipod docking station - works great. And as he (Mikael) is a Beolink 7000 expert I got a 7000 floor stand in nearly new condition from him. I can highly recommend him, he is a very friendly and helpful guy. He lives in Sweden. He is also a Beoworld member. Stefan I must be either doing something wrong or I am on his

Thanks Stefan and everyone.

francoisvl: I going to put a spanner in the works and say that I don't like it. Why would an Mp3 player be put under a huge motorised lid? Surely the Cd4500 was worth more with the cd mech still in it? The point of an mp3 player is that its compact BUT of course if you love it thats the main thing and you must enjoy it!!, mine is just an opinion

Thanks for the helpful responses. Didn't realise that he is in Sweden, also didn't realise their VAT was 25% (ouch!). Stefan, does the Beo4 switch the ipod on/off in addition to other functions?

You may see my other posting re' installing a Philips Mp3 into my CD4500. In it I refer to a Ridax cable with CPU which may permit control of an iPod with my Beo4. Has anyone ever used one to control an iPod or ordered anything from Ridex? Their website is not best-ever in my opinion and an email I sent to them regarding ordering procedure has so

soundproof: Very nice - I have been thinking of doing something similar with the tape-compartment of a 9500. This is an inspiration! Have to confess, read your posting regarding the 9500 and thought mmmmmmm........I wonder!
