Capri TV
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 11, 2016 09:29[quote user="Chris"] [quote user="Wouter"] I will not plug in in, nor will I be trusting myself with the electronics so I will hand it over to an expert as damaging it would be a shame. But the good news is continuing...…

Speaker Compatibility - Beomaster & Beosystem
in General Discussion & Questions · May 3, 2016 11:28Your Beomaster 3300 is unfortunately not compatible with the slightly newer Powerlink standard that your speakers are using. Basically, the Powerlink connection carries line-level (unamplified) audio and control signals …

B&O Avant Network Port Only 100Mb/s :(
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 24, 2015 12:29100 megabit/s is more than adequate for most streaming purposes - it's equivalent to 12,5 MB/s or 45 GB an hour; just about double the needed bandwidth for even 4K files. A gigabit port wouldn't make any difference in th…
Vinyl and B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 10, 2015 13:33I don't see any meaning in a new B&O turntable in a time where you can get a refurbished Beogram 4000 with a retipped cartridge, for the same price as a new ordinary mid-price turntable with cartridge. Furthermore, the b…
Beomaster 4400 Power Supply / Damage

Cassette Tape

Jacob Jensen past away.

Questioning B&O quality
in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2015 23:20[quote user="9 LEE"] Sorry for your accident Soren. I too hope you recover well - and Jeff too! From my own experience, the V8000 issue is down to one tiny cog on the end of a steel spindle. The plastic goes brittle, cra…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2015 22:16[quote user="Jeff"] [quote user="Søren Hammer"] The 8000-series (90's ones) are pretty average build quality, I think they were made by Hitachi like a lot of other Beocord VCR's. For an example, the VX4500/5500 are ver g…

Replacement IC's
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 16, 2015 20:15Ah, I was a bit too quick to answer there! The TBA 231 has some equivalent types still being made today; Fairchild uA739 and Motorola MC1303. They have the same specifications and are just another manufacturer's version …
