I haven't touched it in ~2 years... last time I did, everything worked beautifully (it is mint) but, I did have an issue w/ FM stations.

Wow... this thread has been everywhere! Today... 1.) BM6500 2.) MCP6500 3.) iPod lead 4.) Passive speakers -don't have to be B&o... but buy some RL60.2 That will get you started! Later... 5.) BG6500 + allocate for cartridge Later... 6.) CD6500 Later... 7.) Beo4 Much later... 8.) Upgrade to some active speakers During the entire time... 9.) ENJOY
