Echoing various sentiments expressed by others re this topic, I feel too that recreations only work if they are truly iconic products and the 3000 series is not one of those. I remember the comments made by a few when the 4000 wasn't actually a recreation of the original 4000..rather it used a later model as its basis. The prices are pretty remarkable, as is so often the case with such niche products, but really who will pay those prices for a 3000c..? I suppose B&O know their market but most of us aren't in that category...

They think they can buy a cheap 3000 off eBay for $400 and slap on some wood and have the board checked then mark it up for 30k? It's literally a kick in the teeth to everyone who kept this company alive for the last 100 years. I'm horribly unimpressed.

What if?…
You know, I've always considered myself some kind of dopplegenger to MM for whatever reason…
Mostly because when the undeafendable is undeafendable he always says: "I know the mens, they're not what you think…"
What I want to (uncertainly) point out is: what if, in B&O HQ, was some young enthusiast and ideologic person thinking: "OK, let's ignite passion for that thing through whealthy "ignorant" people" and let's passionate, historical customers deal with it "at their level".
Do really B&O ignore that we're all able to do the same ? Do they use the fact that "some" people would want to bother with our "tricks" in exchange for some dollars ?
Honeslty, my first take was: "ok, let's find some BG's second hand around…"
And never liked the tapered cover. But now…

Good grief, I just saw on another thread that even at that price it only comes with an MMC4 stylus.
