When are we to expect the review of the 8000 in the magazine? I thought you all had one now! That and a comparison review of the 4400 would be nice!
No, David still doesn't have one yet and so the embargo still stands! Naturally Tim and I wind him up as often as we can, but I actually pointed him in the direction of the 8000 system that I now have. When he'd done nothing after 10 days, I grabbed it instead - his loss!
Well could you please hold fire until I get an 8000 as well Adam, as I am sure any positive reviews will only launch prices to the moon 😉 Out of interest, is this the same publication that reviewed a Beogram 4000 about 10 years ago?
Yes, the very same. It has also featured a Beocord 2200 and Beocenter 3500 in the last year and an MMCx cartridge rebuild feature last month. This latter issue should still be in the shops if you're quick enough!
Regarding the Beogram 4000 article, years ago I bought one, boxed at my local car boot sale for £4. I repaired it and used it for a year or so and then decided that I no longer wanted it, so sold it for £50, with which I was very pleased. About two months later, that article came out and prices shot up to about £300. I was not amused - once I realised I was an idiot to have sold it (I know, I know, I should have realised sooner...), it took me ages to find another one I could afford!
Since I don't know Jack about sound systems internals, it is estimated that I will spend $1,100 USD restoring my BM 8000. I can't wait to write the check so that I have it back in working order.
