Beocenter 9500 and Beolink 1000
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2009 10:34Just for the record. I have the BL1000 and BL5000 for my 9500. I *hate* the 5000. It may look cool, but the LCD is useless unless it has something behind it.
Magalogue now available
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 18, 2007 20:20B&O USA mailed me one (I did not request it - I must be on a list). I have only had a chance to glance through it so far, but looks like it may be interesting to sit down and actually read through.
Temptation

The Futurist: Why You Should Buy Middle-End Products
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 21, 2007 21:56Hmmm.. I would say the for the *average* buyer, a product like Bose is the right choice. I can safely recommend a Bose table radio and know that most people will be happy with it. I have a set of Triports - they are pret…
Opinions On This Setup...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 28, 2007 21:18BL-5s are out of the question, even if budget constraints were not there - they are too big and too "out there" looks wise for this installation. I agree that BL-3s would be a better choice for rears if the 9s are used i…

Opinions On This Setup...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 28, 2007 09:33Hey All, Thanks for the input. I am looking at the BL4's for the rears as 1) they are small an unobtrusive 2) surrounds do not need to do any heavy lifting 3) there are inexpensive. I may consider BL9s for the front vs t…

Tangential vs Tone-Arm
in BeoGram · Jul 20, 2007 21:13With a standard "tone-arm" turntable, the record groove moves the needle across the record. Does this happen with tangentials? I am watching my BG 3000 play a record, and I could swear the arm moves independant of the gr…
Charles Eames Designs B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 19, 2007 09:05Well, apparently Charles Eames designed the Beogram 8000 :-) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180131936190&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 It also seems a bit pricey too.

B&O Collaborates with Amazon.com in the United States
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 7, 2007 21:05I agree - this is unnecessary as these items have been available online for some time. I guess they are trying a more common channel to sell to non B & Oers. Lessens the brand in my opinion.
Does the TX / TX-2 have RIAA?

Non RIAA Beograms
in BeoGram · May 12, 2007 14:44Hey all, OK, so I want a record deck for my BC 9500, which has the RIAA circuit in it. This means I need a Beogram without the RIAA circuit in it. I know the BG9500, BG3300 and BG3000 do not have it. Are there any others…
