Beovox accusition dillema.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 15, 2012 08:18New drivers for the M100/75 will be almost impossible to find but it could well be possible to get the old drivers repaired. I have M100s and they are a beautifully finished and superb sounding loudspeaker. I have had al…
SP14 / SP14A for BEOGRAM 1202
in BeoGram · Jan 14, 2012 05:27[quote user="Søren Hammer"] That problem is minor and can be fixed by retipping the unit, I think. [/quote] The compliance will be related to the suspension block rather than the diamond. It is of course perfectly possib…
How does the Beogram TX compare?
in BeoGram · Jan 14, 2012 05:23Depressingly little - the cartridge is certainly worth more than the turntable. It is a user rather than a seller.

SP14 / SP14A for BEOGRAM 1202
in BeoGram · Jan 13, 2012 12:52SP cartridges are complicated!! For a 1202, the best cartridge will be an SP12 - this is a high compliance model designed for the newer arm seen in the 1200 range of turntables - the SP6-7 and SP14 are medium compliance …
How does the Beogram TX compare?
in BeoGram · Jan 13, 2012 11:23[quote user="Cleviebaby"] "This is an under rated deck. In many ways this can be seen as a Beogram 4004 with the design of a Beogram 6006. It is belt drive and much simpler than the equivalent Beogram 8000. As such it is…

1972 Beogram 1202 - operates fine, but sound is very quiet, only from one speaker, and has high pitched hum.. help!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2012 11:521.The quietness is down to the lack of RIAA. The missing channel is either the cartridge - not so likely on an SP14 in my experience - or a dodgy connection either in the DIN plug or a dodgy adapter. 2. Earhing the DIN w…
1972 Beogram 1202 - operates fine, but sound is very quiet, only from one speaker, and has high pitched hum.. help!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2012 10:171. Does your amp have a built in phono stage (RIAA?) If not, that accounts for the very quiet sound - probably sounds a bit bass light too! 2. You need an earth wire from the casing of the DIN plug to the earth of the am…
Best B&O system
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2012 14:00There is no best system. Of the components: The best amplifier is the 5000 - unless you have active speakers in which case it is the 7000. The best CD player is the CD5500 (the CD50 is far too unreliable , and is simply …
1980 Beocenter..4400 4004 5000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 1, 2012 07:01Lovely system - I have the same components. The Beomaster 4400 is the best receiver made by B&O in my opinion. Wonderful sound and superbly made. The Beogram 4004 is the last of this range of turntables and again is well…
Beocord VX7000 connect to non B&O product
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 27, 2011 04:09It will work - use the component lead - composite is the worst quality. The VX7000 will be almost useless because of the lack of remote but using it as you suggest is possible.

Beogram 6002
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2011 14:02There is a special 7 pin Phono lead - it has extra shielding compared to the normal lead. If you have an 8000 system, the lead from the Beogram usually has Phono written on it on a sticker for this reason. You obviously …
Beogram 6002
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2011 12:36I would look at the DIN plug - there will probably be a loose wire to the casing. I suggest the difference in sound could be due to the angle the DIN plug is pressed in at. Should be identical otherwise.
