Beogram 8000 now working right!
in BeoGram · Jan 3, 2014 13:24Hello everyone, I'm happy to share the good news that after recapping my Beogram 8000 is now working flawlessly. The interesting thing is that it was already working fine before, but somehow I always felt that the rotati…
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 21, 2013 18:54Hi Martin! Thanks for the explanation and sorry for the long post above - I thought that the new capacitors on the tuner board may have made some very small adjustment required, since the auto tune was working correctly …
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 21, 2013 14:14Thanks again Martin. Could be that it is similar to that, but I'm wondering if it could be just some adjustment, since the MPX light works right when a station is correctly tuned in the manual mode (also with lower signa…
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 23:27One more detail: once I turned on the receiver by pressing a tuner preset button whil on "auto tune" and the amplifier didn't engage (no "click" fmon inside). But the next time it worked - the amplifier startedn, and the…
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 23:12Here again! :) Almost everything works - and bias current set right, and offset really to 0 +-1.5 mV - not that bad. Only not working thing: the "auto tune" position is unusable, it just goes immediately into mute and ke…
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 17:21[quote user="Dillen"] The manual suggests measuring across the two emitter resistors in series and adjust to a reading of 18mV. This equals 9mV across each resistor and also explains the heat buildup at the right cooling…
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 15:57Hi again! So... I thought a bit more about the no load current measurement and did it right - of course measuring the two sides of the same resistor. So... I got these values (only one resistor checked on the left channe…
Cleaning aluminium surfaces
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 14:15Good afternoon everyone, while working inside my Beomaster 8000, I decided to take a bit care of the optics too and I noticed that I'm unable to clean the aluminium plates in an effective way. I only tried the "soft" unt…
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 12:04Ooops... I meant Beovox MS150, not Beovox 8000! :)
Beomaster 8000 after (probably successful) recapping: adjustments?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2013 12:03Hi everyone! Yesterday I had a crazy recapping session through all my Beomaster 8000 (except the capacitor under the CPU cover, I didn't trust myself to open that). Cap kit from Martin, of course! :) I put it together ag…
MMC20CL: stylus wear?
in BeoGram · Jun 18, 2013 07:48Thanks for the advice! My MMC20CL is also doing very well on a test record, no problem there. Hopefully this means that what I see in the microscope is correct - no significant wear. Anyway the high frequencies are badly…
MMC20CL: stylus wear?
in BeoGram · Jun 16, 2013 20:23Good evening everyone, I've just spent some time looking at the stylus tip of my old MMC20CL through the Shure stylus microscope. I got the cart around one year ago together with a Beogram 8000 and I almost never used it…
The "Uniphase" concept
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 19, 2012 22:29[quote user="Orava"] I guess that if the mic is at tweeter level, it is too high. Tweeter is positioned slightly downwards, isn't it? So optimal listening position is down from tweeter high, if the speaker is on upright …
The "Uniphase" concept
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 16, 2012 22:46So, I had fun translating the Finnish details... :D (With Google...) measurements Investment kajunta in a room on the floor in their own pedestal , 5 cm from the wall. The calculated efficiency: 0.43% , the corresponding…
The "Uniphase" concept
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 15, 2012 11:55Maybe interesting for those taking part in this thread (if you can read French): https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwTS40IaQa16ckdKOVEtQ2xSOUNoR2JhOGV4TVFjdw/edit?pli=1 That talks about the technical concept of the Beovox …
Beogram cd 5000 (and similar) stand-alone usability
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 12, 2012 23:31Argh, that's really very little. No pause and no track skip backwards... I'll monitor in the next days how often I use any other function, but I guess I'd better go for a Cdx oc Cdx2 if I really want something usable... …
Remote control for Beomaster 8000

Remote control for Beomaster 8000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 12, 2012 13:22Hi again - sorry for opening two threads at once... I'm enjoying my Beomaster 8000 without remote control. No disaster for me, but... Is there any compatible remote control from other B&O devices? Or some universal remot…
Beogram cd 5000 (and similar) stand-alone usability
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 12, 2012 13:19Hi everyone! I have been reading that the beogram cd players (5000, 6000, 7000, not the earlier ones) are "almost unusable" if not connected to the system they belong to (with the remote control and so on). Since I use v…
BeoGram 8002 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 19, 2012 18:22[quote user="Menahem Yachad"] Is this LEFT-ONLY "nudge" the normal operation of the BG8002? [/quote] Hi! I have a Beogram 8000 (should be very similar to the 8002) and it also works with "left-only nudge". The Technics l…
