@Millemissen deserved pride of place at the head of this new photo thread because of actually posting a picture while the new forum was coming up!ย Shamelessly stolen & re-posted here–>
The Beosound 1 (2nd gen) waiting with its Doc Ock friends to go outdoors onto the deck:
(The chairs are by Bernhardt, Ross Lovegrove’s “Go”.ย The table is by Ekkornes, their “Enigma”.ย Also, no-cables isn’t just the usual Danish conceit — notice the charging pad lurking on the floor!)
Thanks to BeoWorld and PrizeDrawBot, my cubicle at work is looking incredible! Super thankful for the top prize in the prize draw.
Currently it is set up on my desk because I couldn’t resist waiting until I returned home but it may stay, I’m not sure. I have cables from Steve on the way and will be connecting this to my BeoLab 4000s at home or patching it into the mixer here at work later on, TBD.

I recently noticed that some B&O equipment had crept into one of my wedding photos, from 1989.ย It’s actually a ‘portable’ MCL2 box consisting of two CX50’s with an MCL2 transceiver above.ย It was connected up to my in-laws’ house B&O system by the local B&O dealer.

@Evan Your โcubicalโ at work looks utterly baffling! A full-on hifi in an office cubical? How can that even be?!?! (Looks for big smiling emoji) A most stunning office set-up all the same, bravo!
Hey Pepps – Thanks! I’m very lucky to work in a place that encourages such things. Not visible in the photos is the 8″ subwoofer hiding under the desk haha! If you ever wondered what a desk looks like at a major audio hardware ODM, this should answer it! My colleagues and I work for Tymphany and there are some mega audio hardware engineers (myself included) that are hard at work here. There are a few of us with complete audio systems at our desks. The main function of the mixer is to share tunes between my nearest colleagues (to and from) depending on who wants to DJ on a given day.

My latest acquisition is a Beocord 506K, combination wire recorder and 78 RPM record player with built-in loudspeaker and integrated carrying handle. “Flexible living” 1950’s style. There are connectors on the side for an optional external loudspeaker and a radio input.
As soon as I can get my hands on a compatible power cable, I’ll put on a pair of rubber gloves, plug it into an isolation transformer and see how much smoke gets released. Or maybe I should have a look inside first… Maybe someone already let the smoke out.
Side note: If anyone else has one of these and is thinking of digging around inside, note the following: “Two UL41 tubes (push pull AF output) are located under the asbestos cover on the left.”

Nice find, looking forward to the verdict Geoff! I for sure cannot make up my mind: when I play a CD on my BeoGram CD7000, the sound goes through a BeoMaster 6500, an ML converter, a BLC, another BLC, a BeoSystem 3 and then finally to the BeoLab 8000s :-). How many digital/analog conversions would that be?
Be careful smoking the asbestos.

B&O at work. With some Ikea, Eames and Dell in the home office mix. I gave this BC6-26 a little TLC with speakerring repair, new fret cloth and a silent fan. Now I can use it as a monitor! Nice when playing a video! Need to tidy up the cabling now.
