$168 for BM 5000 and Master Control Panel............
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 9, 2010 19:58[quote user="cooldude"] I had them paired with some RL 60.2's and RL 140's which were fantastic. [/quote] I'm surprised it matched with RL 140, I thought it would need BM8000 to work properly.
Beovox 3800 v 5700
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 3, 2010 00:18[quote user="Peter "] You need to have a chat to Tim. He has been comparing the Beomaster 5000 against the 5500 and reckons the 5000 blows the only slightly later 5500 into the weeds. It would appear the pre-amp is the w…
Beovox 3800 v 5700
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 3, 2010 00:11[quote user="sba2"]The Beovox 5700s, by the way, are very similar to the Celestion Ditton 66s in that they both use the Celestion HF2000 tweeter and Celestion's large dome midrange. The 5700, however, has a 10" passive r…
Beovox 3800 v 5700
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 3, 2010 00:03[quote user="Puncher"]In light of other posts it would be interesting to hear the M100's from the 5500 and the 5000 to see if the 5000 is genuinely a better amp (I'm biased as I've had the 5000 from new and love it to bi…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 2, 2010 23:42[quote user="cooldude"] ....but once up to spec I can confirm the amp's sound is nice, clean, detailed, even at lower volumes. Also pairing them with the right spec'd speakers helps the overall experience imo. [/quote] H…
What is your favorite vintage B&O product?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 6, 2009 15:57[quote user="medowlarkk"] My favorite B&O product is the only one I've had the pleasure of owning the Beocord 9000. Beautiful design and one of the best super decks IMHO. I use mine every day for recording and playback o…
Beocord 2000 R2R modification..........
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 11, 2009 18:17Finally, got in touch with the person responsible for selling the unit. So far based on what he has told me, the unit needs service bad. It's been sitting on the basement for more than a decade. It's an estate item. He o…

$168 for BM 5000 and Master Control Panel............
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 11, 2009 07:47[quote user="tournedos"] Well, it depends... there are different levels of "working". If the Beomaster, although "working", needs service as so many of eBay finds end up needing, .... [/quote] Indeed. The seller claims t…

Reel to reel for dummies

Reel to reel for dummies
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 10, 2009 16:58Wow! That is a nice picture of Beocord reel to reel. So far all the pictures of Beocord r2r looked kinda frumpy...kinda anti-B&O. Your picture above makes it look sleek and modern. There's an English fellow in youtube, c…
Linear tracking arm in regarding LP durability..............
in BeoGram · Nov 10, 2009 09:54[quote user="Peter "] There should be no more stylus wear with a radial Beogram than a tangential though. [/quote] Well, I'm becoming more enlightened.
Linear tracking arm in regarding LP durability..............
in BeoGram · Nov 10, 2009 04:50[quote user="Peter "] I don't think there is much in it between radial and tangential decks. [/quote] Then exactly what is(are) the advantage(s) of tangential over radial?

Why beogram 4000 may be the best sounding tangential tracking beogram............
in BeoGram · Nov 8, 2009 09:35[quote user="Piaf"] Peter is absolutely right and shipping to Denmark is frighteningly expensive! And then there is the ornery Danish Customs that insist on charging customs fees as if the Beogram were a gift, not one fo…
