Here is the open box. The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the cartridge is an SP12 - rest assured the SP8 is back in it now but is in not quite a good condition!!

My pick would be the Beolab 6000. Timeless, simplistic and elegant in one package that could fit in in any home.

Thanks guys,

These are some great products.  Peter, I was inspired by your choice and the reasons behind it - I will be looking at my B&O products in a different way now that I can see how much care has gone into some of them (would you be willing to email the SP12 photo to me please, so that I can share this?)

Kind regards, Steve.

I have a silly one for you. Clearly items like the Beomaster 2400 , Beocenter 9500 and Beolab 8000 are all worthy contenders, buy one product that really showed me the way B&O felt about their products was the one I am going to suggest. The SP8 cartridge was a pretty standard SP cartridge although it was designed for the Beogram 3000 Thorens, a superb though not that beautiful a deck. What makes it stand out however is the box thait came in. A cardboard outer contained a beautifully made rosewood box. This was completely over the top and was lovingly made with properly jointed corners and a perfect fit. The slightly sad thing a dealer told me was that these were notrmally thrown out by the dealer after fitting the cartridge! I have had a couple - I gave one away but still have one and although the contained cartridge is useless to me as my 3000 has a different arm and bespoke cartidge, trhe box remains by my desk as a reminder of the craftsman who worked for B&O and their suppliers.

I love these. Saw one for sale once, but I missed the opportunity. Never saw them again for sale.

Hi Beoworlders,

Thanks to everyone who sent in their photos for the most photogenic B&O product ever, please come and check out the results!
