Cartridge for Beogram 1203
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2022 13:38[quote user="neilwatson"] One last question please... if I did manage to find a cartridge and it was a SP12, and was what I could afford, can it be used instead of a SP14? Many thanks for your time. Neil [/quote] Hi Neil…
Cartridge for Beogram 1203
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 24, 2022 18:04Hello and welcome to Beoworld. I recognise your dilemma and understand fully how you may have fallen for the looks and ease of use of the Beogram. An original version of the deck, the Beogram 1200 was part of a stunning…
Beogram 3000 / 1202/1203
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 10, 2021 21:07I recognise your conundrum! Many years ago I had the opposite decision to make and eventually traded my Beogram 4000 for an LP12, a decision I now regret. You ask about the Beogram 3000 and the Beogram 1202. They are mec…

Best Tuner B&O ever made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2020 12:47Arguably the best tuner made by B&O is the Beomaster 5000 from the late sixties/early seventies. Tim Jarman reviewed it in his vintage slot in HFNRR in 2012 and it came out very well indeed. Our own Adam Smith (Adam S) w…

Advice on passive speaker combination
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 6, 2019 10:55As no one else has responded to your query (yet) here are my thoughts. I’m sure a pair of CX50s will work with a Beomaster 1001, either as main or ambio speakers but I’m not sure how well. According to Tim Jarman, who sh…
Beovox 5000 with Beomaster 8000 or 4400
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 3, 2019 15:45I’ve owned both the Beomasters you mention and regard them both very highly - arguably B&O’s best sounding amplifiers. I’ve heard the Beolab 5000s (Beovox 5000s with a Sanyo built hybrid amp built in) but wasn’t greatly …
