I have a couple of these adaptors; I know why I bought the first (simple curiosity) but cannot quite explain why I 'need' two! I agree with the remarks that they work well with some recordings - not so good with 'close-miked' ones IMHO - and also very well with some FM broadcasts. I haven't tried one with DAB; so that's the next

I wonder whether I am alone in finding the Beovox C40 & CX50 very 'treble-forward'? I have heard several pairs and it is apparent that there are differences in tweeters (though whether different tweeters were factory-fitted at different times in the production history, or substitution made after overload on the ones I have seen is another

Obvious questions include; where are you (I mean, where is the BM6000) and what problems does the 'spare' one have? Presumably it is worse than the 'daily user' or you would simply swap them over!

I'm far from expert, but have done my own 'mechanical' service work on BG4000 & 4002 and while it's delicate (good light & steady hands, lots of patience, being prepared to do it again... and again) the lubrication work isn't too difficult. Searching this forum will find a lot of advice on the removal of old lubricants &

I have used AVA in Coulsden & would recommend them. However, 'phone before delivering as he is sometimes out returning repairs. If belts are required, you need to get them from 'Dillen' as they aren't available from B&O U.K. to the best of my knowledge. (I have no connection with AVA apart from as a customer.) What work does

If you are using the Beocenter to play LP's & 45's, and using your other turntable into the ' tape 2' socket on the Beocenter, you only need one set of 'speakers, no switching box required! With regard to the extra turntable, the cartridge used will need to be changed to one with a stylus for 78's, as you say, a wider tip

The rectifier & adjacent capacitor both look (physically) fine but I will check them & try to find replacements. The frustrating part is that the presets cover the full range - the main FM tuning is the problem. And I didn't have the 'buzz' between station before I started - I think I have mis-wired or disconnected a 'ground'

I feel that once equipment is packed it doesn't matter whether it's going round the block or round the world, the couriers can find the weak points! The longer the distance, the more trans-shipments & agencies involved, of course and the greater the chance of the parcel being left in the rain! (I sent a cartridge to Germany recently with

I have both an 8002 & a 6002 & I struggle to tell them apart when listening. The 6002 is less good cosmetically (though the 8002 is quite smart). Don't know where in the world you are, but I might be prepared to part with one of them... my wife would be delighted if I did! Adam K, London, UK.

Preset potentiometers were indeed a mess - actually the 'preset' one (10kOhms) was salvageable, the FM one (50kOhms) was open circuit. An equivalent was fitted (not a cosmetic or size match, but all that was available). I can't understand from the circuit why the potentiometers are different values, or indeed why there is a separate one
