Actually I gave mine away - I actually lent the BS2 to someone , but never got it back so gave the accessories to people who needed them. I now use a Beolink 1000 as a paperweight (though a very useful one!)

[quote user="earthmother"] [Edit Ta 2 x BEOVOX S30 speakers on removable square metal stands, match BEOCENTER, very good condition. The B&O Archive website is not very complimentary about these speakers, but we have always found them to give excellent sound reproduction. [/quote] Nothing wrong with S30s - actually the best bit of this

Axel replaced the entire stylus assembly on an MMC2 for me - perfect result.

When are we to expect the review of the 8000 in the magazine? I thought you all had one now! That and a comparison review of the 4400 would be nice! On the heaviness, much of the weight in an amplifier is the transformer, which is extremely large in the 8000. It is rather amusing that the 8000 is rated as 100W into 8 ohms where the 6500 is 110W.

In the UK, go to Hiscox. They specialise in higher value homes. I was badly burgled some years ago and lost my BC9500 and LX6000 with S75 speakers. Hiscox paid the full amount to get a new equivalent (and a considerable amount more for rather more important things!) with no quibble at all. The assessor arrived and immediately asked the name of the company

It is a little silly that the App was not available at launch - but not completely surprising! I am sure it will be fine once it arrives though I do confess to being a little surprised at the cost.

To be fair, the answer ' I don't see why not' is a good one. The B&O range is just electronics and has the advantage of having good service manuals and are designed to be taken apart. The older equipment uses pretty standard components and those that are less common can isually still be obtained with a little ingenuity.

They both vary! Both use either a Philips or a Pioneer mechanism. What is the betting you have one of each!! Whether they are just plug and play is another matter all together!

On the CD front, I used a CDX with my 8000 and it works very well. It uses the 14 bit TDA1540 DAC but sounds very warm and almost analogue. I no longer have the 8000 system but still use the CDX with my much older 5000 system.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the same plastic chassis being used for the Beomaster 6000?
