Cleaning Stylus, and cleaning Vinyl?
in BeoGram · Sept 12, 2024 07:35"Spincare" type recordcleaners should best be used by two; the first with cleaning solution, the second "bath" with distilled water for final rinsing. Dries without residue.
What does "Founder Member " mean?
in BeoWorld Feature / Problem · Sept 11, 2024 19:36How nice to see "Peter" back here! I wondered where he'd gone. I used this forum a lot in the past, also in the early years (I thought Beoworld Forum already existed in 2005-2006?) , and I remember it was always a pleasu…
BV Contour - any long term views/opinions?
in BeoVision · Mar 24, 2024 19:01As I am also interested in a Contour; Is screen burn-in still problem with these OLED tv's? And what is the expected life of such a set? Also considering a second hand BV11...
Advice Needed for Beogram Cleaning
in BeoGram · Jun 24, 2023 12:35Half a year late to answer the question but here's my advice for anyone wanting to clean a Beogram 1700: The rectangular aluminium top plate can successfully be cleaned with a moist "Mr Magic" sponge. Will be like new. D…
Audio Origin Retip or Soundsmith New?

Audio Origin Retip or Soundsmith New?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2022 20:29I am about to receive a retipped MMC20s, which wil now be fitted with a nude shibata (on a aluminium cantilever) in Germany by "FJS-Tonabnehmerservice" / Franz-Josef Schulte, who learned this craft first hand from Axel S…
Beogram 1700
in BeoGram · Dec 21, 2022 07:08A nice solution could have been to touch the "pauze" button twice for "stop", but perhaps that was too complicated to design in those days.
Beogram 1700
in BeoGram · Dec 20, 2022 19:40Thank you for responding. The Beogram 1700 appears not to have a "stop" control-button, like the 1900/1902; a strange omission in my view. Now you have to touch the tonearm to return it after pushing "pauze".

MMC10E
in Cartridge · Dec 19, 2022 12:51I came across a MMC10E cartridge; I can't find any info on it on Beoworld or Beocentral? Does anyone know about this pickup?
beomaster 2000 (2801) vs 3000 (2402)
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 17, 2020 07:09Is there any reason to prefer one of the above mentioned Beomasters for a technical reason or because of sound quality? I am looking for a vintage Beomaster to use with my Beogram 1700 turntable and Beovoxes S45-2's.
stylus "retipping"; aluminium cantilever good enough?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2020 11:43I just received a Beogram 1700 in good condition, it is equipped with a MMC20S cartridge. I am thinking about getting the humble "S" upgraded to a "CL" or Shibata needle/diamond, by getting it retipped. There is also the…
streaming to a Beocenter 9500 -> Beovox S45's
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 5, 2020 14:09Thanks for the suggestions. Is there any reason to believe that the Playmaker would be in any way superior to a Teufel/Raumfeld? I don't like options that require frequent updating or upgrading like Sonos.
streaming to a Beocenter 9500 -> Beovox S45's
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 3, 2020 08:26After searching this site and the internet, I am still confused about this. What, as of april 2020, is the preferred/state of the art method of listening to internetradio or youtube-music or music stored on a computer if…
Beovision Horizon still an attractive proposition?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2018 09:43The lack of a glass contrast screen gives the BV Horizon a resemblance with cheaper laptop PC's, in my opinion. But the BV 14 is not for sale any more, only the Eclipse and the Horizon remain, a strange combination, pric…
Beovision Horizon still an attractive proposition?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 9, 2018 13:08I/m thinking about a new TV; just a stand-alone TV to watch actual TV programmes, with good stereo sound, so surround sound is not important. But sound is important to me, and that is why I still consider a Beovision a c…
New Amp/Tuner
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 2, 2018 07:58In my experience, for pairing the Beocenter with Beovox 'passive' speakers; the 9500 amplifier sounds much better than the 9300. The 9300 reacts quicker though by remote control, and would be my choice for use with Beola…
Beovision horizon
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2017 08:23Thanks for the info. How does the Horizon compare to the V1-40? Comparable TV's, although the V1 is not produced anymore, but still can be found newish second hand/demo perhaps. Not sure 4K is useful for me, on a 40" scr…
Beovision horizon
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 17, 2017 18:33Adding to this thread; I, long time B&O customer, am considering a Horizon, and inevitably also compare to competitors; like Panasonic, Sony and Samsung, in 40" size. Traditionally, the strong points that causes me to pu…
Beovision 7-40 vs modern/new TV other brand
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 2, 2017 12:22As said in the subject-titel; how does the in many eyes still beautiful Beovision 7-40 (MK4 or newer) compare to a brand new TV from one of the big boys like Sony or LG? Would it still be worth buying? Or has picture qua…
