Beolab 4500 Heartbreak
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2011 15:44Absolutely agree, but realistically I think I'll try to find one within driving distance one day. I try to give as much direction as possible to the seller without assuming liablity for the packing process - but alas, it…
Penta MK1 and a door that doesn't lock
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 12, 2011 12:28FYI, my US B&O Dealer has this part number updated to: 3034003 Not sure if it's the same worldwide, but wanted to let let people know in case they are trying to order this part.
Beolab 4500 Heartbreak
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2011 12:10The first pair wasn't damaged by FedEx at all. It was damaged by the company that packaged it (in this case, a 3rd party packing company hired by the seller), I think we're getting messed up with semantics. In the States…
Beolab 4500 Heartbreak
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2011 10:50Llewelyn, I'm going to fix them since I have a soft spot for B&O stuff in need of repair as can be seen in this thread . Unfortunately, mint condition 4500s are really hard to come by in the States. That doesn't of cours…
Beolab 4500 Heartbreak
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2011 09:09Thanks everyone for the sympathy. I was really hoping for an original pair. The seller forgot to purchase insurance so he asked if a discount was acceptable. I took the deal since it would have cost almost $100 USD to sh…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 11, 2011 18:07I have no luck. I'm going to set the record for most number of damaged Beolab 3000/4500s. Look what FedEx just delivered/destroyed.

Sennheiser HD650s, Beomasters and headphone amps
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 31, 2011 09:43I love my Sennheisers, but not so much with my B&O stuff. In my opinion, the high impedence cans don't sound that great without a headphone amp. Same goes for my Beyerdynamic 880s and AKGs. For these cans I have a custom…

Help !
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 22, 2011 09:48It's a great device and I absolutely love it in conjunction with an iPad. Please note that the latest Apple TV doesn't have analogue output so you'll need a DAC to hook it up to the AUX in of your 3200. If you just need …
How to use my passive speakers with Airport Express?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2011 19:05Hans, I was referring to the internal electronics of the MCL2P. If you're comfortable with soldering electonics, look at the schematics of the amplifier. If not, you're probably better off purchasing a solution from Soun…
Beogram CD 5500 no power [solved]
in The Workbench · Jul 21, 2011 19:00If nothing works/lights up at all, check the power supply section first. Check the caps and voltage regulators on board 5 to get started. What have you checked out so far?
How to use my passive speakers with Airport Express?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2011 16:54Hans, If you check the schematics of the MCL2P, you'll see that there is a simple trigger on the powerlink socket to turn it on. On the schematics I have, it says pin 4, but my circuit board actually uses pin 1. I forgot…

Penta "Project Twins"
in The Workbench · Jun 16, 2011 20:22IkeA, Thanks for the kind words. I really do like the silver cloth as well. If you really want black, maybe another pair for another room? :) With regard to the crossovers, can you snap a quick picture of yours? A ask be…
Euro B & O equipment used in US with a converter?????
in North America · Jun 11, 2011 07:50I think you can convert a Beosound 1 for US by simply connecting a jumper on the power supply board. You also might need to set the tuner mode using the service manual if you intend on using FM. It looks like they have t…

in The Workbench · Jun 10, 2011 08:28Leslie, Thanks for the info. I still can't believe how great your results are. I know how tedious painting can be (especially the slats toward the back of the unit)...amazing work.
