To cover the high cost, you could always get a combination oil rig and turntable!

I do use my Beogram 4000, and buy the occasional record -- while I also register that my record store keeps adding more and more vinyl. Statistics show that vinyl is the fastest growing category -- so it's not a wild idea. But audiophile sound is going in the direction of high-resolution and multi-channel, and B&O should be well placed to gain

Well, it better not be as silly as this one. The growth in the sales of record players has been substantial, but I think that B&O should work with high-resolution, multi-channel playback, rather than record players. Vinyl's a fashion accessory for most, more than a practical playback option, unless you spend an absolute fortune on the players

I'm not in the "Apple should buy B&O" camp, nor am I saying that B&O should go all-Apple. Just don't make it so very, very difficult for people to connect their Apple equipment to B&O. The fact that updates to B&O "break" the connection are due to the workarounds that B&O are implementing, because they

Agreed. Apple has not manufactured speakers, nor traditional televisions. This is due to its compromise with Apple Records concerning what businesses they can be engaged in, so as to be able to use the name. (Apple Records has sued Apple at various stages, also when Apple released computers with built-in speakers, considered an infringement of their

Urghhh, indeed - but about as sensible to protest as the introduction of CDs, which B&O was among the first to adopt. I consider Apple to have created the new standard for transmission of sound and image - and do note that they aren't charging anyone for using their standard. You can use their tools to sell or provide content outside iTunes

It's quite amusing to register the extent to which people "detest" Apple products, which they then proceed to spend a lot of time trying to get to behave like a Windoze unit. Any A/V components manufacturer that fails to accommodate for full integration with Apple's solutions will completely lose the youth market, from 16-35; and will

Congratulations all! Good work, and well deserved. (I see I should have entered my votes with Ladbroke's! Powers of precognition are strong ...)

Here's an enthusiast demonstrating his prototype of what you can do with an iPod Touch and some computer skills. He can control his Mazda from anywhere in the world (not show, he even has a camera in the car, and it sends images to his Touch.) Apple's minicomputers, the iPhone and the Touch, will completely change how we interact with our "intelligent"

What's crucial isn't whether you are able to detect a pulse at the various frequencies, but whether that pulse generates enough sound pressure for the bass reproduction to be precise. I've run my BL5s from 10Hz all the way up to 1000Hz, and while I can actually hear a pulse beginning at around 13Hz, the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) isn't
