Was there a Beomaster 2000 type 2801 4CH (quadrophonic)?
in BeoMaster · Aug 27, 2026 13:06Sounds like what you actually have is a Beomaster 3400, or someone's crazy 2000/3400 mash-up. https://beocentral.com/beomaster3400
Beosystem 5000 working with Ben CD 5500
in BeoSystem · Aug 26, 2026 13:08In addition, if I remember rightly, the track time display is on the CD50 itself, but this information would normally be shown on the MCP5500 on a full 5500 system. Hence I don't think you can view track time anywhere if…
Beosystem 5000 and the Beocord 5000 Dilemma
in BeoCord · Jul 9, 2026 12:43I would say that the buzz was simply a symptom of the PSU in its death throes! It shouldn’t be too difficult to track down the problem as these aren't unduly complicated machines and are easy enough to work on - not some…
Beomaster 5000 output stage overheating plus left channel is quiet
in BeoMaster · Jun 26, 2026 12:55As above, definitely use clips on the meter leads. Even if you try and hold them steady, one will slip, it will short out something, there will be a reasonably sized "bang" and your Beomaster will no longer work. Ask me …
Beovox S45 crossover caps
in BeoVox · May 5, 2026 13:11If you're re-capping Beovoxes, then there is only one correct answer when it comes to choosing capacitors (or two in this case, depending on which S45s you have!): S45 Type 6302 or S45-2: https://www.dksoundparts.com/pro…
Connecting a BeoMaster 5500 to a Beolab 2 subwoofer and Beolab 3 speakers

Want a very bass heavy cinema like system . Multiple used beolab11s worth it ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 2, 2026 13:03As above, if you;re only concerned about a tuneless thump-thump-thump that rattles your eyeballs and ornaments when watching films, then Beolab 2 is the obvious answer. However, if you'd like to hear actual bass lines in…
Is B&O abandoning its VHNW strategy ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 24, 2026 13:07No - it's one I bought off eBay for £21!
Is B&O abandoning its VHNW strategy ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2026 14:18Given that one of the latest 'Reloved' products is a Beogram 2000 for £2000, I'd say B&O still have a fairly healthy VHNW strategy. And if anyone wants to buy mine for a discounted rate of £1450, drop me a line!
S75 crossover parts question
in BeoVox · Mar 3, 2026 13:00As I said on the other forum you posted this question on: (a) Don't worry about the resistors (b) Buy the correct capacitor kit from Danish Sound Parts!
Pentalab to Pentavox Speakers
in BeoLab · Feb 11, 2026 13:02If you're removing the amplifiers then you don't need to use the studs at all. Just use some new bolts to bolt the base plate into the threaded holes for the studs on the base of the speaker body.
Beogram 3000 Type 5901 – Left channel missing, brief sound on Stop
in BeoGram · Feb 9, 2026 13:10In my experience the symptoms you describe (especially the brief burst of sound when the arm cues) usually means the suspension on the MMC cartridge is shot. Might be time for a rebuild...

BeoSound 2 mp3 player - ancient B&O magic at work?
in BeoSound · Jan 27, 2026 13:09Funny, I have one of these tucked away in its box that has never been used. It's of no interest to me and never was, but its such a lovely thing and it was one of the first Christmas presents that Mrs. S bought me after …

B&O in Movies, TV Shows or similar…
in Music & Film · Jan 21, 2026 15:17In the new series of ‘Lynley’, here in the UK, based on Elizabeth George’s novels, Inspector Lynley appears to have a Beomaster 3000 receiver, Beocord 1101 cassette deck and, oddly, a pair of Beolab 6000s. I’m guessing h…
The CEO is out - thoughts on future product direction
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2026 13:05One point I've been debating making on here is over the company's 100th anniversary. Now, let me clarify - I love B&O, I always have done and probably always will do but was I the only one a little disappointed by the 10…
Liquid Filled LP's
in BeoGram · Dec 19, 2025 13:16As above, it should be absolutely fine. Just be careful with any unduly heavy 7" records on any Beogram that uses weight for size sensing - you don't want them thinking they're a 12" and dropping the stylus accordingly. …
Beogram 7000 - sounds rough ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2025 13:13The Beogram 4000/4002/4004/6000 models are completely different and are some of the best turntables B&O made, in my personal opinion. The same goes for the Beogram 8000/8002 models, although they are ruined somewhat by b…
Beogram 7000 - sounds rough ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 18, 2025 12:51That's pretty much normal. You've now joined the select club that has discovered first-hand that the last radial tracking Beograms sound much better than their linear tracking brothers. Don't tell everyone, though, other…
