Some thoughts on B&O, ‘Beoworld’, and life.
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 23, 2009 09:34[quote user="Cleviebaby"] I have had a 40 year relationship with B&O, and like all relationships it has had its ups and downs. I have been unfaithful (regularly), and for a while deserted B&O completely. And yet I have a…
refoaming cx 50s.....
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 6, 2009 04:42[quote user="wirralsimon"]If you are technically competent and are restoring a tatty pair to good-ish condition for sale on ebay then the price difference between refoaming and new drivers is probably the profit margin.[…
Got bored so I made this
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 4, 2009 17:56Very nice! That picture may have just cost me a few hours of work, I have a well worn Beo 4 I've wanted to fix and now I may have to borrow your idea. A perfect match for BC9000.

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 29, 2009 12:53[quote user="beodude"]Henri, forget about weather phenomenons, the fact is the ratio of gasses trapped in the ice bubbles is definitive proof of what the atmosphere was like hundreds of thousands of years ago.[/quote] Co…

broken master control panel (av9000) need alternative
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 25, 2009 17:42I'm not sure if you got the email I tried to send you a while ago, but I've got one extra master panel, stashed away "in case I need it someday". It should be 100% working (have to check that...) and it seems that I don'…
Masterlink to RCA
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 25, 2009 06:31[quote user="Dave"]Post the answer!![/quote] Alex beat me to it - I had a strange-ish idea about extracting analog signal from ML for monitoring purposes. Unfortunately it can't be done this way. 😳
Masterlink to RCA
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 24, 2009 19:58As a question this may sound weird, but bear with me... So: is it possible to connect the pins 13/14 and 15/16 from a Masterlink cable to, say, RCA plugs and expect to have a working, (pre-amplified?) line-level output f…

Speaker cloth?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 20, 2009 18:21Hmm? Are those original wall mounts? I didn't know they even existed. In my application, I need to mount them at an angle (both vertical and horizontal) relative to the wall(s), so mounts like that are pretty much out of…
Speaker cloth?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 20, 2009 13:42[quote user="ouverture"]the gunmetal grey that B&O use for the RL speakers is not an exact match that Radio Silks can offer, they have about four different greys, but if you email me your address Henri, I will send you i…

Speaker cloth?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 13, 2009 15:59Thanks for the tips, ouverture and Craig. The OEM cloth on C(X):s actually does resemble polo shirt fabric. Does anyone have experience of choosing the right cloth for RL:s? A speciality shop like Radio Silks probably ha…

Speaker cloth?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 10, 2009 11:44A good point. The answer is, for nothing more than the casing, I'm in it for the looks. That's what "the worse shape the better" -clause was for, a basket case Cona would do nicely as there's no point in gutting an intac…
