  • Steve Jobs biography

    I found this interesting, from Walter Isaacson's biography Steve Jobs : "He had a great love for some material objects, especially those that were finely crafted, such as Porsche and Mercedes cars, Henckels knives, Bosendofer pianos and Bang & Olufsen audio equipment. Yet the houses he lived in, no matter how rich he became, tended not

  • David Lewis

    I just received an email that David Lewis passed away. I'ts very sad; I think he was a fantastic designer and a real artist. The BL8000 and BC9300 grace my living room every day for the past 15+ years and I'm thankful for the work the man has done. Best wishes to his family and close friends in this difficult time.

    [quote user="bsantini"]Brass is good! Organ is good! [/quote] If you play a descending scale on the bottom octave on the pedals of an organ it almost sounds like a crescendo in volume to the modern ear because we're so used to the fall-off you get below 50Hz on nearly all speaker systems. Yet the scaling and volume of pipe sizes that were

  • Re: Mac Mini, Beolab 5 and Beosound3000/9000

    [quote user="bayerische"] The Airport Express has a pretty lousy dac, so you would be better off using the straight headphone out on the iMac, or getting an external soundcard. About DAC's in the BC9300 VS the iMac with/without soundcard... I'm guessing it will be a matter of personal opinion. The DAC in the BC9300 is probably a good

  • Re: Mac Mini, Beolab 5 and Beosound3000/9000

    I have a different situation but wonder if the Impact Twin box and Pure Music software would be beneficial for playing digital music: I now have: iMacG5, iTunes->Airport Express-> BC9300->BL8000 Would this be better?: iMacG5, PureMusic->FW400 port->Impact Twin->BC9300->BL8000 I use airport express from iTunes not for distance but

  • Re: BeoSound 1 &3200 are no more.

    [quote user="Milton78"] I have the Beosound 1 and although I would miss it not being sold more, I can't say I blame B & O for discontinuing them. The new generations, i.e. the kids borne late 80's and 90's don't really use CDs; in fact I know young people who hardly KNOW that you can buy CDs! They just download it. [/quote

  • Re: SACD and BV8-40

    So why isn't SACD widely embraced by the B&O's of the world? This is the oddity of digital- more people listening and having access to music, having the technology for superior sound, yet the convenience creates a demand that the quality doesn't.

  • Re: A Tape 2

    [quote user="PhilLondon"] No.. N.MUSIC is the same as A.TAPE2, N.RADIO is the same as PHONO. p. [/quote] ... but in fact on a 9300, the Phone and Tape2 inputs come in on the same connector. On mine, I have airport express connected to that input, and I get the music whether I select Phono or Tape2 on the unit. So I set my Beo4 list to have

  • Re: TV Features & Specs

    I'm not much of a movie-watcher though; I don't have blu-ray or all that many DVDs. We like sports and racing a some TV shows mostly. One thing that puzzles me about all this motion blur- I saw a picture showing how a moving ball, instead of a blur, would be a clear ball moving in say 3 different distinct frames. Do these sets claim to do that

  • TV Features & Specs

    Choosing a television is sort of overwhelming with all the choices. So... what's really important, what makes a real improvement? There's 120Hz and 240Hz, but surely 600Hz must be so much better, right? I'm joking a little. Why would a B&O TV be better, technically? I know we love B&O here, but in quantifiable terms, what is better
