Ehhh, what a nice touch!🙂 What a nice bloke Frede is

Couple of questions Peter.
Did you go in the Prius? If so, how did she perform and what was your average MPG?
Be honest, and tell us what was the first music Frede demonstrated to you on his 5000?
Did your Sat Nav find his little track?
Where the brass Rondstraller still on display?

1. W did go in the Prius - went very well right up to the point when someone drove into the back of me at speed near Harrogate. Carried on but the impact broke the sat nav so difficult to say it would have found Frede. Averaged over 50 mpg - even with Lee driving - I think he rather liked it!

2. Hotel California!

3. Yes - and we found a catalogue with them in.

Very nice Peter, I really must get round to sending my BM1000 over to Frede. Been on my list of things to do for about 2 years now.😳

Hi Peter

Do you know if Frede restores other systems / turntables? I have been looking for a mint Beogram 4000 for about a year tgo start a vintage system. Any thoughts?

best

Frede specialises in the restoration of the Beolab 5000 system but does do other items as well. He does do restorations to the highest standard and clearly the cost will reflect this. I suggest you contact him via

Hi Peter - it sounds like you had a worthwhile and enjoyable trip.

I have to say that along with many others here your interest in/devotion to the B&O brand puts many who actually work in the distribution to shame !

Your new kit looks great - Frede seems to be an audio alchemist. 

I recently got a 3 x LP triple gatefold 180gm version of Chris Woods fabulous two albums Tresspasser / The Lark Descending, which sound brilliant on my Beogram 7000 - but I would love to hear it via your system - a real analogue powerhouse !

Hope all is well,

David.

I am going to try out my other system this week end - Beogram 4001, Beomaster 4401 and M100s - I'll do some pictures!

Thanks for the advice. The cassette is not a problem as I will use it for vinyle only. As for CDs I have a BC2. Studpid question – can you run Beolab 3s with the Beomaster 4400?

Does Martin have a website?

I would not recommend it - the reason for using a BM4400 is the excellence of the power amplifier which would be missed if using Beolab 3s. However it would be your system so anything is possible. I would use the BL3s with the BC2 and get some vintage speakers for the vintage system.

I never heard M100s, but from the look I would say they are astonishing 🙂
