All of the above are the reasons I hold the vintage equipment in high regard, the BM6000 quad is a master class in over engineering, the lengths the B&O engineers went to just to make the indicator ribbons move up and down is staggering…and the logic gated control panel of the BG4000, given it’s primary role in life is to drop a stylus onto a rotating disc is also the work of someone with far too much time on his hands……

Agree - I love the massively over engineered 4000 - I have three of the 400x decks - the 4000, 4004 (bought this new when a medical student!) and my 6000 (now rebadged as the 4001! The 4000 exudes quality , the control panel simpler and I think better looking and has the strobe, and the lid is not so heavily smoked with a light brown smoked finish as opposed to the grey of the 4004. And considerably heavier!

Couple of things here…..firstly does anyone have any pictures of whats inside the new turntable? Secondly I read somewhere that B&O where offering to upgrade existing 4000x turntables to the new spec…..what are they changing out and more importantly what are they going to do with the component/equipment they remove during this excercise….

Hi Steve.
Just got mine back (4002) from Multicare. It sounds amazing connected to my Shape. I made the cabinet myself complete with integrated Halo remote charger and music sync LED’s.

Thanks @paul.70 for sharing. Multicare is the offical B&O kit or a 3rd party provider? The color seems unchanged?

How does it connect with the Shape and is there a delay?
