Having a discussion with my friend Leslie last time I came to see him and seeing some pictures here (a beomaster 900 with a playaker ;)), I would open a thread (if it does exist, sorry) to share about mixing old and new B&O elements.

I'm impressed by most member of this forum, respecting perfectly different B&O ages (oh Leslie, your 4500 system with beolab 3000 😉 and the full 8000 system with MS 150 that you allow me to hear one time !!!). However, sometimes, for reasons of space and money, we are mixing old and new elements. 

First, I would like to present my BC 9500 with my BG 4002 (two iconic B&O pieces I dreamed about and that I use every day for more than a year now (thanks to you Leslie ;)). I can say that AC/DC sound perfectly on my Pentas !!!!!

Very cool! I'm betting that sounds better than most any iPod dock made today. Those old units had a wonderfully musical sound.

I have a mix of old and new, though not that old. Beogram 3000 tangential/MMC2 into PlayMaker aux into BS9000 to BL9s. Gives me the best of all worlds, streaming, vinyl, CD, etc.

Hello beolovers,

Currently, I have a beogram 7000 connected to a beomaster 5 to play vinyl through beolabs 3.

Not so old, but still a good age difference between the 2.

Best regards,

Eric
