Earset 3 went on sale in US a couple of weeks ago. It is also sold in apple stores. I bought an iPhone just to see how well they work together. Marriage made in tech heaven. The apple earbuds are trash. r

"So perhaps if B&o got an older BL 7-4 cover in the supply that was made during the 2006-2007 it might be a lighter anodized dark grey i think." If your dealer has his BL 7 and BV 7 color samples, perhaps you could take those home and compare them to your kit? r

I tend to agree with the boondoggle crowd, though I respect the ability of people to hear what they hear. Having witnessed the damage caused by power surges, I strongly recommend putting your good products on a good protector. Just recently learned that excessive light bulb replacement on any given circuit should be a clue that something is going wrong

1, If you have phono outputs on the tv, you can hook rca cables straight into the 6000s (separate line jack on us model) and control them with the tv or cable box. You might need to switch them off with a switched outlet. 2. If you use speaker outs, you need a speaker-level output to line-level output converter (inexpensive), and then do as above. Not

It's a real B & O store, and a fine one, at that.

My guess is you can get those "bargains" at your local US store.

I don't know Avant, but assuming those are the proper connections/commands, your logic is impeccable. Works like that on BV4, BV7, and external monitor. Good job!

I REALLY dislike Vista, and I am stuck with it on one or our computers. Many are now sold with the ability to go backwards on Vista to XP. Maybe yours? Rumor has it that XP Service Pack 3 will make Vista look even more silly. Good luck.

BeoPort takes what the headphone jack/audio out sends it. You can turn "system sounds" off on PC different ways with different machines and XP versions under Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Sounds tab. I turned all those nasties off. That is the only way I was able to end cross talk other than only use BeoPort, only. The real purpose

If you don't mind switching your BL4s on and off, you could use an ml/mcl converter, a pair of speaker level/line level converters (from an auto stereo shop), a pair of RCA cables, and a pair of rca->mono 3.5 jacks to do the trick. An expensive, ugly, and marginal workaround. But it will work. I would trade them in for ML version. Ray
