Bs3200 vs Bs 3000 mkll

7 replies

Am toying with the idea getting  one of the above ,which one is best to go for?! Imho I guess Bs 3000 more robust less things to go wrong ie (hard drive).I have IPad Imac lots memory I can play music through or stream Spotify etc am I wrong or missed something else I should be aware of?                                                   Many Thanks

I agree. Less that can go wrong.

Personally I like the look of the 32 more, but I think it might be because o know it is newer.

I think the button layout is a bit different also. Not sure.
I have both and really like the BS3200 due to the HDD capability. It has something nice to record your cd’s, put them in one of the four groups and play them randomly.

With this feature the BS becomes more than just a cd player.

And as everything can be broken, many things can be fixed again. Should the HDD die on you, the cd function remains.

If you rip the CDs you get them in 192kbps.

Aren't the look of these two the same?

No, the BS3200 has a glossy clamp, while the BS3000 has a matte disc clamp.

Thanks for your replies, I wonder which one to choose bs3200 with beolab 6000 or bs3000 Mk2 with beolab  2500 Mk2 roughly same price? Same age for both  , I am leaning towards bs3200 with beolab 6000.
