Very nice. Thank you Soundproof.

For me, FLAC is the way to go for ripping or downloading. Using Max, you can rip CD and store in FLAC one place, and shoot whatever format you need directly to iTunes at the same time. Use BeoConnect to send FLAC files over to BeoSound 5. Once you get the rhythm, it is pretty easy.

To me, the issue is not mean dealers destroying B&O. It is completely understandable that some people would try to rebuild and/or refine their products, but I cannot imagine any respectable brand knowingly participating in projects that undermine it.

This is good stuff Karla. Did you use an a/b switchbox for the "extra" component cable set? Thanks. I have not run across a handshake issue with BeoSystem 3, and we have an early series 1 in the store. If there were a handshake issue, it must have been resolved with software update.

[quote user="BeoGreg"] Mr Marks had the idea of Beocom 2 before B & O but says this idea is the worst in the world ? Well, I also don't see the point appart from the fact that the bad idea of Beocom 2 came then from Mr Marks... Gregory [/quote] 1. I am guessing he had another end use in mind. 2.
