I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus. Sad

Good morning all,

Ignoring any controversy about meat popsicles Big Smile I just wanted to update you that I have been invited by B&O to join the Collective.  Here's a quick video update covering what I know so far about what is likely to happen:-

Are any other Beoworlders getting involved with the B&O Collective?  Please let us know!

Kind regards, Steve.

Looked at this but too old, have an almost nil social media presence from choice and quite frankly really only like the old stuff. However I do think some of the more 'hip and trendy' (see, I told you I was old!) members should participate. Lee is clearly an ideal candidate despite the green tracksuit!

Congratulations Steve. This answer my previous question…

matador43:

I'd like to know how B&O would consider someone like, say Steve (Our, from Sound Heavenly!) and if they would consider it an "influencer".

Thanks!

I wouldn't consider myself an influencer. I reluctantly made my first YouTube video about 8 years ago to placate a customer who wouldn't stop asking me questions about Powerlink cables Big Smile I found that as a normally shy person, I quite enjoyed making the video (although that first video was very poorly produced!) and I have found it satisfying to be able to explain technical solutions on camera much more easily than could be done in an email or over the phone.

I hope that my love for the B&O brand comes over in my videos - if I can persuade people to keep their old B&O products and hopefully to integrate them more smoothly into new B&O setups, then I would consider that to be worthwhile.

Kind regards, Steve.

Steve.

I don't know if "influencer" is the proper word but Steve has done as much as any person in the world to keep B&O systems and products in play. He keeps a certain stock and is willing to create cables for a worldwide audience with delivery and prices that should embarrass the parent. He does the "dirty work" competently and pleasantly and gets a lot less credit than others who show up at random to get advice on how to do their jobs and/or clean up their messes. Waaaaaay underrated. And I LOVE his park.

My most recent purchases didn't even come with the full support manuals.  You have to go online.  In addition, there are so many reports of the new wireless systems and the software not working.  I bought B&O stock so that I could start griping as a shareholder rather than just a regular dude.  It is down so low I'd advocate everyone who is not happy with the way things are going to buy stock and speak up.  I think they should pare down products to do less rather than more.  If they are going to be at the forefront of technology, like with ICE power amps, they should focus on it working.  Also, what products are still made in Denmark?  90s? 50s?  Everything I see is Czech or China.

There's no better brand ambassador.  Your passion for B&O is so clear.  I'd love for you to have a say in product development.

B&O stock is extremely closely held. If you want to complain about B&O you will be much better served buying a product. Worst case, you still have something to play with.

Is BGOUF US stock different than " official B&O " stock?
