BeoStage & BeoEdge. - Disturbing
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 28, 2024 13:07One advantage to this marketplace over a white van in the parking lot is that the buyer should have an avenue to getting a refund. Ebay or PayPal should refund the money if the buyer finds that this product doesn't work …
BeoStage & BeoEdge. - Disturbing
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 12, 2024 16:00This looks like its just an evolution of the white van speaker scam, but now on-line.

BeoStage & BeoEdge. - Disturbing
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 11, 2024 01:07They are not targeting people who really know B&O, just those that know their reputation for quality products. Their website does a pretty good job of not being affiliated with B&O, but the product box sold by questionab…
BeoStage & BeoEdge. - Disturbing
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 10, 2024 22:28I was browsing around eBay when I saw a listing for Beosound Stage Soundbar and SubWoofer Sound System (Bundled). That is not the Beosound Stage I was expecting. It is what is actually called BeoStage and the companion s…
Good summary about B&O’s descent

B&O do weird things?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 15, 2024 19:22I have the Halo and the B&O charging pad. I was never impressed with it and I no longer use it to charge the Halo. It seemed very difficult to charge the Halo to 100% on it and that's if the light on the pad stayed solid…
Analog Source Switcher
in General Discussion & Questions · May 20, 2024 02:22Thanks T.W.G I now think you are right. I will have to find a suitable preamp to handle my needs as I don't think any other solution will become available soon. I have a facination with old technology. I have working tel…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 14, 2024 12:08Is that the elegant B&O-style solution that you would like?
Analog Source Switcher
in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2024 18:32I have a Beosound Theatre with a Beogram turntable plugged in to the one analog source input into the Theatre. There are times where I would like to get another device like a cassette deck (for playback purposes only) or…
Need to buy MMC4 cartridge
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 16, 2024 19:21If they are not selling rebuilt B&O cartridges then they would almost have to be a UK distributer for Soundsmith. Soundsmith is licensed and authorized by B&O to make replacement cartridges, and they claim to be the only…
Need to buy MMC4 cartridge
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 16, 2024 10:34Are the UK sellers selling the Soundsmith cartridges or rebuilt MMC cartridges? I don't think there are any other options. Either way it would probably be a safe purchase.
Looking for Beogram 8500
in Wanted · Apr 16, 2024 10:22The value of a Beogram 8500, or any, is up to how much a person is willing to spend for any given condition. £400 to me does not sound like a lot, especially if it is in working condition. I see the 8500 going for £1,949…
MMC4 Damage?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 29, 2024 01:14I have a couple of soundsmith cartridges and I am very happy with them so I think you made a good decision. I understand the desire to keep the turntable 100% B&O with a rebuilt MMC cartridge as the B&O cartridge has a l…

Should I hook up a cd player to 28s?
in BeoLab · Mar 23, 2024 15:36I have a large CD collection of great variety dating back to the mid 1980's. I still buy CDs and rip them into my iTunes library and listen to them from there, I rarely listen to them on my Oppo player anymore. The matte…
Is a £45 Beogram worth buying?
in BeoGram · Feb 3, 2024 20:46Steve, It sounds like an incredible buy at that price and it looks like it didn't need much more of an investment to get it properly working, outside of a cartridge. I will be interested to hear how it sounds with the Be…
Lossless Apple Music to Beosound core?
in BeoSound · Nov 27, 2023 23:54While I don't out-right disagree with any of these testing methodologies there are many variables involved that could affect the outcome. It would be nice if there are tools available where we can each know for sure in o…
