I am going to pin this so it does not drop off the bottom! Remember all I want is your impression of the products you use, particularly if there is no review on site. It does not need to be technical - Beocentral does the clever technical review - this is to complement this - what you would liked to have known before you bought the product!
My B&O Icons:
Could Beoworld reciprocate and put links on it's product pages to Beocentral?
Cheers

My thoughts exactly - I see no reason why not!
My B&O Icons:
I was just sitting with the book the Jarman Brothers (sounds like a band) have written about collecting B&O. Always a joy to go through.
I noticed the links to BeoWorld the other day - I like how the two sites complement one another, and how they always turn up first in any search for a particular component.
Right Peter, on it! 🤒

Excellent user review of the Serene now on. Thank you.
Review Beogram 2404, type 5763, MMC4, SN. 2851053
Bought used in Los Angeles January 2007, Ups ground shipping to McAllen TX, by car to Mexico city.
Connected to preamp JEC TC 754, to Beosound 3000, to Beolabs 8000.
The deck has been playing ever since without problems, playing vinyl LP, Hanne Boel, Dark Pasion on the deck and same CD on BS 3000 gives nearly no difference, the vinyl a little less bass, but nearly not audible.
Opened the BG 2404 July 2010 to do maintenance ( thanks to Beoworlds fantastic forums), the inside looks nearly new, very little dust.
After cleaning and lubrication the deck plays as before.
The deck has press buttons for play, pause, stop, turn, 33 RPM, 45 RPM, a small wheel for speed ajustment, all working perfectly and the automatic disc size monitor evenso.
The deck has survived a lot of brown and black outs with voltage between 80 and 140 Volts.

I think Beocentral is an exelent website for information about B&O gear. Very honest as well! (when some products are just a ripp off, they would tell)
My 2 cents:
My concerns is that there are a lot of B&O "ban-boys" on a website like this and the question is: are members able to write a objective review on products like they the writers did on Beocentral? I mean... would they admit it is sh*t while paying a lot of money for it.
As you can tell, I'm not realy a B&O freak (although I realy like their old stuff), but more of a audio freak so I'm not commited to B&O.
The best example is the Beolab 8000 imo. They are very popular, but I can't think of one reason why they are any good(soundwise) (once again, that's just my opinion)
