Jacques, we're talking about 4 pairs now, 3 RL7000's and one RL140. Today I received my "El Cheapo" caps for the last pair so finally I can finish my last pair. Have to finish the 6 channel speaker selector switch that will be remote controlled. See you next week?

oh god, I missed part of the story ;). 6 channel speaker selector, remote controlled, of course 😉

I'm ready for this test, next week would be a pleasure ;) I will bring one or 2 CDs I know well 👍. Now, you have to choose on which amp you will make the test (a BC 9500 ?).

Leslie You da Man!!!! Your restoration work is absolutely phenomenal, the products that leave your home could be of a better standard than when they first left the B&O factory, this is in my humble opinion. Loving the white kick you are on right now as well. Keep up the good work my man, and I can't wait to see what you are working on next? Looking at your pictures/projects always puts a smile on my face!!!

Unfortunately we could not do the comparison (Beovox RL140/7000) cap test today Jacques, but once my 6 channel selector switch remote is fully operational I will invite you to do the hearing test.

In the mean time I got another pair of RL140's that needs refoaming, reclothing and "other" caps? Cloth for this pair will be in red, so I have two pairs in black, a pair of white, pair of blue and one pair in red to do the caps hearing test. Pictures soon!

Thanks @Nahidul for your comments! Another boost to continue.👍

I'm looking forward to this, but bear in mind that capacitors need about 200 hours to form ("burn in"), so a listening test directly after first use is likely to be inconclusive. 

That applies to both generic and audiophile capacitors.

Still I will give it a try Menahem, they are all new except for the one that still has the original caps, so I guess the comparison does not change?

Anyway, the last RL140 reclothed, this time in red. Also new caps and drivers refoamed...

You have the blue one, the white one and now the red one, are you preparing something for the Euro 2016 in France (football/soccer cup) ? ;)

It was nice to see you, discuss, eat some cheese and to see some of your jewels (most of them not seen in the forum ;)) !

Next time, we will see the result of this recapping challenge !

Hi Leslie,

I hope you are keeping well, I just have quick question and that was; The golden Beo4 I want one, and obviously have worked out that its a home made piece so how's it done? What's the process for spraying the Beo4 gold? I was considering doing the same to one of my early Beo4's but I also really don't want to lose the Bang & Olufsen logo at the bottom of the remote. I'm assuming that the logo is replaced with a new one, but where would I get one from? and what type of metal paint did you use? Have you considered doing one white to match the rest of your white items? Have you ever considered changing the colour of the Beo4 wall brackets to match each remote? Thanks in advance for your help Leslie.
