It is a part of my X-tra Speaker kit. MCL X- Speaker kit transceiver sits
in the kitchen, so I give it an appropriate color.

 

Looks wonderful. The 4000 is SPECIAL and on my opinion, in its own league. Henry Royce said it best, "The good are the enemy of the best." Well the 4002/4004 are indeed very, very good, but you just landed the best. Enjoy!

Thanks Jeff, very kind of you to say so

Not at all as I appreciate your passion and commendable taste. 😁

I "chased" my 4000 for about five years, found one in NJ and really had to fight for that opportunity. Seller insisted local on pick-up only, then wanted to talk on the phone to make sure "I was the right guy." (Never quite sure what that was all about, but that's how it unfolded.)

The seller assured me he knew how to pack the 4000..... didn't have a clue and it arrived shattered, the tonearm laying in the platter hole with the platter on top. Broken parts just everywhere and too boring to list.

Did manage to "save it" but it was help from Frede and Martin that really got the 4000 to the condition it is today. (To be absolutely fair, my prized 4000 is NOT in as good a condition as your 4000.)

As I am obsessed with these turntables I have a 4002, 4004, 8000, 1602, and 8002 in addition to the 4000.And I can tell you that hands down the 4000 is the BEST of the group.

The sound reproduction is amazing, but the experience is so much more with the pressure sensitive controls, the strobe, and the tonearm position indicator. (which is rather silly and redundant, but oh so "cool" in its own right.)

I know you will enjoy your long awaited find. Nice to hear that someone who really appreciates the 4000 for what it truly is, acquired one.

Cheers,

Jeff

Wow wow wow Rickiefauster I really like your cabinet, I've always wanted todo similar so I can showoff my 9500 whilst also offering a practical bookshelf.

Did you start off the design around the TV or modify to accept the TV?

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

We put the TV up first and then the carpenter built the bookshelves around it using a duvet to protect against the dreaded dust.

The stand came through B&O, not sure of the make but I guess it's a standard issue. Extends and tilts but unfortunately not motorised.

As an aside, these Ikea shelves are a good and inexpensive accompaniment to a wall mounted A9

Love your setup. Very clever!

Can you provide an overview shot where you have the A9?

Never seen it wallmounted other than on B&O promotion pics.

Cheers, here you go!

The wire is drilled through to the other side of the wall and plugged in there;
