Welcome to Beoworld JF Do be aware that the Beogram 1600 can not be controlled with any remote. The Beomaster 5000 does have a RIAA pre amp built in, which you will need for your 1600. If you decide against the 5000, make sure your other choice has the pre amp built in. Andy T.

Even more confusing Dave, is the fact that B&O, in their wisdom, decided to use the name BeoGram 3000 on no less than four different turntables! Andy T.

Well, I thought it was just the booze talking, but a couple of days later, I was speaking to Jay on the 'phone and asked if he remembered what he had said. Not only did he remember, but had sent me a PM saying that he did indeed have a 32" complete with the sound card, and that I was welcome to it! I had not received the PM, as he had tagged

Well before long (it was a pub after all) we were all showing signs of the over indulgence of alcohol.

I had never met Jay before, though we had spoken over the telephone once, whilst I was visiting Lee at LifeStyle AV. It wasn't long before they arrived. What a lovely couple! This is Jay....

Thanks guys Well the next part of the story involved a trip, 100 or so miles down to Birmingham. Craig's other half, Carol has been trying to feed me up since we first met at the NW BeoWorld meet at King Street. It has been a regular topic between us that she wanted to make me a Shepherd's Pie. A couple of weekends ago, I finally invited myself

Anyway, back to the Avant story. I rang Dave up and he did indeed have an Avant for me. It was only a 28" version, and didn't have the Dolby sound card or STB controller in it. It was however, in great condition and got me out of a mess. My Sky+ box had about 3% hard disk space left! I rented a Transit from the local Ford garage and picked

Needless to say, I have a good friendship with Dave, Ian and all the staff at King Street. So much so, that they have included THIS picture on their web page!
