My Beomaster 5000 does have loads of connectors but space is at a premium where the sockets are so it can be awkward to connect everything. I ended up using the DIN connection for my iPod dock for this reason.

Personally I would recommend choosing your favourite Beomaster and buying suitable DIN/RCA leads from eBay or Steve at Sounds Heavenly.

I have not been here in a while, but I am back, and I need to tell all of you that I have bought a Beomaster 5000 and Beogram CD 5500 with Master Remote Control, all three pieces are in excellent working condition, I tell you I could not be more happier. I cannot believe how great this thing sounds. I wish I had known about this waaaaaay before I went on crazy on this so called "High-End" gear. This sounds like music period, no more bass, or midrange or sliky highs to worry about, now I just sit back and enjoy the music. Needless to say that from now on I am a die hard B&O fan.

Just looking for a Beocord 5000, the matching cassette deck, I am sure I will find one, how soon, I do not know, but one will show up some where and I will try getting it.   

Just curious, as to why no one mentions B&O when they discuss sound quality of any high-end gear?

Obviously, you and I have never talked before!

Hi Evan, No like I said that I have not been here in a long time. The 5000 is the heart of the system, for many years to come, I hope, Beogram CD 5500 is truly a musical cd player. The speakers I have are Energy C2, Canadian Made, The cassette deck is Akai GX7, three head machine, but if I get my hands on a B&O cassette deck, I will let the Akai go.

Evan, if I could tell you what kind of so called high-end I have had you would be really surprised. Nothing, I do mean nothing came even close to the musicality of this B&O I have here. I owned some really great souding stuff from both US and UK manufacturers, but this B&O wins easily, no competition here Evan. I am not going to type up what I have had, but you already know some of the big US and UK based audio equipment companies. 

Just read part of an article on the C2s, they score very well. I have heard some Energy stuff before, but not these. Regardless, they were wonderful sounding speakers.

Your story isn't the first of its kind around here! There are many people who have come to the same realization. Still good to hear the stories though. I hope to see you around here more often 🤒

Hi E, I was just on another audio related forum, this guy went to audition some very high end and high price speakers, driven by some super expensive electronics, and he still came out empty handed and disappointed with the overall sound.

I wish I could post there "I feel sorry for all of you, do not waste your money on any of this or expensive cables or power cords etc, get yourself a B&Oand you would be a happy camper."
