Happy New Year to all B&O fans and to the team at B&O who make this all possible! Here are some of my B&O highlights from 2022, including meeting Kristian Tear (B&O CEO) and Henrik from the BOTF YouTube channel, interviewing Geoff Martin (B&O sound designer) and Andre Poulheim of Noto who designed Beolab 90. Also featuring are the World's largest private B&O collection and B&O's own historic collection in Struer! I'm aiming to make 2023 even better, full details to follow on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks... https://www.youtube.com/soundsheavenlycables

Steve, you know I respect you, But are you REALLY shooting an interview with the Beolab 90 designer with only 24% of battery left? Not good! :) Happy new year's eve to you and all Beoworld members.

Hi Matador, Well spotted! That was actually a spare camera belonging to one of the Noto team, they were taking extra photos and video footage through the day while I was interviewing them. You are quite correct, I would never start an interview with that level of battery life remaining! I always shoot on Canon by the way, that looks like a Nikon... Have a great new year! Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Matador, Ha ha, yes you are right - its a Sony! No wonder I couldn't get the colours to match up in the video footage they sent to me! I will stick to my Canon cameras, they haven't let me down yet ;-) Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks to all Beoworlders for all the help and support I received in 2022 - you lot have helped me get my home further towards where I want it to be and I appreciate you all! In 2022 I have: acquired and installed a BV7-40 mk 5 with that glorious refresh rate, swapped out BL6000 for BV3000 as the rear speakers (connected to a MCL2P) bringing a glorious even tone across the living room sound stage, cable-tidied the living room, acquired a fab pair of Beoplay H7s, acquired a BS2500 "chassis" and two BL2500s to complete my office sound system, married a BV6-22 to the BL6000s in the kitchen (wall-mounted and cable-tidied) and started a new power conservation style of using B&O products by actually switching off the mains when items are not in use (PIN codes removed from BVs). But the real highlight of 2022 was taking a family holiday to Denmark in the summer and making my own pilgrimage to Struer to visit the B&O museum (the family went to Legoland). It was a significant chapter in my own lifelong appreciation of Bang & Olufsen to go to see some of the finest products (not just the electronics but also the furniture design) crafted for listening and viewing pleasure. The staff at the museum were absolutely charming and made me feel so special! (They even prepared a lovely gift for me to take home with me after my 3 hour uninterrupted tour.) One of the things I came home with was a classic poster which I've had framed and shall install (as soon as we get a little further along with house renovations...) on the landing. As Steve (Sounds Heavenly) has attested, the visit to Struer is not to be missed if you're a keen B&O fan. So happy new year to you all and here's to more adventures in sound and vision throughout 2023. Julian
