Good day and sorry for late answer. Simple answer : I sold my Marantz CD 63 MK-2 KI Signature player. To be honest, the differences were smaller than expected. Both are nice to listen too. I had the opportunity of playin…

I finally got my new BF858 transistor, put it in, replaced the big 5W 0.22 ohm resistors with smaller 1W versions (as original specification) and it powered up and plays :) So, to resume : -New Philips BDV 64B and -65B o…

In fact, I was wrong in placing a lighbulb (90W) in series with the amplifier. I tested this with a working Beomaster 5500 and it will not power up. This method worked with a big (in size, but also about 60W of output po…

Sorry for my late answer. I recently replaced TR206. I hooked it up with a bulb in series (luckily) and after power up a flash of light and it goes into stand-by. I will thus have to look further and might have blown aga…

Good day fellow Beofans I purchased a Beomaster 5500 that didn't work through right channel. The history of this amplifier is a repair and overhaul after it blew up its right channel power transistors. After 2 years of f…

Indeed, my 5500 CD player started to scratch and it comes down to cracked suspension rubber. I decided to look closer and once I flipped over the mechanism, I realised that the rubbers are pinned to the swing arm part, s…

Good day. I have a MCP 6500 that is doing the same. The microswitch measures less than 1 Ohm when closed by the dial, yet the MCP will not wake up. Did you find your issue. I would be interested to know how you fixed it,…

Good day, I have bought locally a pair of S45-2 for my curiosity. First thing I did was to replace the capacitors and glue with Araldite the woofer magnets. I find them a bit bright in the high range. On the other hand t…

Some days I hate eBay!
in eBay - the right way! · Apr 17, 2018 20:39 GMT

The people doing bad practices on e-bay should immediately be "punished" with a bad rating. As such their percentage drops and is a sign for future buyers and sellers. Good luck with your case, but it surely doesn't soun…

Good day, One of my cd players started to make some noises and stops playing. Turns out the cd is scraping against the transport tray. There are 4 torx adjustment screws, but backing them up just loosens them. Because th…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 1, 2017 20:34 GMT

Dear Beo Specialists, Unless I am mistaken, I did not find a thread concerning the following problem: Beomaster 5500: while playing the left or right channel can go soft at once (not both at once). This usually goes away…

Good day. I am new to this forum. I have picked up a Beogram cd 5500 and a Beocord 5500 that have been sitting in a corner a long while and the owner did not know if it works. The Beocord 5500 works, but unfortunately no…
