Jet 505

Hi all,

A new radio, jet 505,  is coming. 

 

 Rudy

Wonderful news !

Martin

I dunno, I need to see it in the flesh before deciding.

Ahh - come on, Mika; It seems to be one of the most compatible B&O products on the market;
It works regardless of streaming speeds, iOS version, Hdmi, WinXP/7/8/10, DVB-T, 1080i, FLAC, 4K and whatever you can think of.
Just plug it in, switch it on, wait a few seconds and it plays.
It even has a fantastic retro appearance - a conversation piece if there ever was one.
Ain't it just great?

I want one!

Martin

I fully agree with you, Martin.

What a retro look !!!!

Wood and bakelite, like in the old days.  No cheap plastics !!

Plug and play, what more do you need ?

With the option of multi room experience, when you buy a second set.

Life can be easy and beautiful.

Whenever I read about members having problems with their whatever-phone that won't work with whatever
gadget through Beovision whatsitsnumber or some brand adapter to stream something from a NAS server over wireless and it doesn't seem to
work because some driver is no longer supported or the firewall shut down for whatever reason or the
latest firmware in one of the thingys requires an OS update to one or more of the other thingys,
I like to put a record on my Beogram, press play, sit down with a cup of tea and worry about something else.

I fully agree with Martin, the only really plug and play products are our lovely vintage items, yesterday my son delivered my Beolit 505, after inserting the batteries it was not plug and play, only play, and it did the whole evening. I did not drink tea but made another kind of drink.

 

Martin's comment strikes a hilarious chord with me this morning. I'm in the homework room typing this on an iPhone while ripping Ex Machina from a Windows 10 computer to my Amahi server while at the same time playing the rerelease of Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door on a Beogram 3404.
