RL 6000 surrounds: foam, or rubber?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 10, 2009 12:31Does anyone know which surrounds were used in the 6000's? I've looked high and low and can't find out, but I'm guessing the forum will make quick work of it. Thanks!
Beogram 8000/8002 question

Beogram 8000/8002 question
in North America · Feb 22, 2008 12:11I've got an 8000 in good condition, but has a soon-to-be-fatal problem. The 8000 has a laminated plastic ring on its hub with markings to establish its speed. That laminated plastic is beginning to curl. Uh oh! The 8002 …
Ebay Bargain?
in North America · Dec 12, 2007 16:20Undoubtedly a bargain for me ... I can do a LOCAL pickup .... Hmmmm .... MORE B&O???
MMC 20 CL-C
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 10, 2007 18:11Hah! Thanks! BUT ... have you heard of the Win superelliptical stylus? It was supposedly tried by B&O for the 20 CL back in 1980 and only a few were made. (And - WOW! you're fast!) P.S. - This one did, indeed, come with …
MMC20 CL-C
in North America · Dec 10, 2007 17:51I recently came into a NOS MMC20 CL-C. The final "-C" apparently specifies that this cartridge has a rare stylus called the "Win super-ellipsoid" stylus. I'm eager to find a time when I can properly set it up and give it…

Is there a way to play a 12" disc at 45 rpm?
in BeoGram · Sept 5, 2007 17:52Thanks, everyone! And to all of you who have 4004's, I have a question: Can I have your dustcover? :-)
Is there a way to play a 12" disc at 45 rpm?
in BeoGram · Aug 29, 2007 10:39DOINK!! I'm going to try it! The deck's not set up at the moment, but soon will be. Thanks!
Is there a way to play a 12" disc at 45 rpm?
in BeoGram · Aug 29, 2007 09:37I've got a BG4004 and a Beocenter 2200 ... I can't see how it can be done, but thought I'd ask here just in case I'm missing something. I have a Mobile Fidelity LP that's in the 12", 45 rpm format. Seems I've found the d…
Beogram 4000 Dust Cover
in BeoGram · Aug 29, 2007 09:34I'm another with a trashed 4004 lid. I doubt I'll ever be able to replace it - the hinge is actually snapped off - but the turntable's sweet enough that I'm using it anyway, lifting the whole, ugly, damaged thing off eac…
MMC20EN tracking force?
in BeoGram · Aug 29, 2007 09:29Thanks! I was pretty sure it was either 1.0 or 1.2 ... I note that there aren't any specs listed in the product profiles for this series of carts ... they're getting rare as hen's teeth, so maybe there's not much need fo…
MMC20EN tracking force?
in BeoGram · Aug 29, 2007 01:35Just came into a BG4004 with a 20EN, but I don't know the optimum tracking force for this cartridge. I'm anticipating some difficulty using my tracking force gauge on this tonearm ... wish me luck! Better yet, post any a…
Question about the old Tangential Turntables ... the 8002, for instance.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 5, 2007 19:51If the old tangentials didn't have a cartridge installed, would that make the sensor unable to find the starting edge of the record? Would the absence of the cartridge, for instance, prevent that function form working? T…
Beovox S45 repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 5, 2007 19:46Be glad you have the wherewithal to fix your S45's yourself ... I just spent a freaking fortune having mine rebuilt. Worth it, considering the speakers the same money would buy new, but JEEZE!
Jeeze. Another connectivity question: BeoGram 5500
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2007 11:47Thanks, Graham; thanks, Craig. As usual, the forum's wise stalwarts are helpful.
Jeeze. Another connectivity question: BeoGram 5500
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 19, 2007 19:52Can a BeoGram 5500 turntable connect to non-B&O equipment? Or must one have a datalink connection? Seems the dumber I hang out here the longer I get.
Loosing my religion
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 17, 2007 17:00Thanks, Francois. I eXpecially like the way I spelled "especially"! But the post was heartfelt, which is odd. I mean, it's still just stereo stuff, ya know?
Loosing my religion
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 17, 2007 16:30I fully understand. What drew me to B&O, in 1983, when we took the entire final proceeds from a settlement following a burglary of pretty much everything we owned (making us probably the poorest B&O owners in the world!)…
A quick Beomaster 5500 question:
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 17, 2007 16:06Thanks, all ... very helpful. I'm looking at this system as a sort of sentimental/nostalgic gift for my wife. It's a little pricey, but ... well, you all understand. I'm partial to the S series speakers - have a pair of …
