I think digital radio is a comlete waste of time. Half the time the signal is too weak anyway. I just can't see the advantages of it, listening as I am to Test Match Special on my Beolit 600 on LW, and it's crystal clear, so why does the technology need to change when the existing platform serves us so well??? Here in the UK I get the feeling

Am indeed moving back to Super Leeds - to my home town of Pudsey! Think it's time I changed my avatar back to 'the bear' :) You're only in Morley aren't you? John

davidlitman: Hi John, I can't believe someone has taken the trouble to answer my query so quickly. Golly-gosh and thank you very much. I will contact Tim soon as I can and keep you posted how I get on. Many thank again. David No worries David - there are some who are even quicker on this forum :) Good luck and do let us know how you get on. I have

davidlitman: I have a beogram 4000 too in need of repair. Can anyone tell me who could fix it for me in the UK? Thanx. Tim Jarman might be a good bet. You can contact him through the Beocentral website at: www.beocentral.com He did a great job on my Beolit 609, and I understand that he worked on the Beomaster 8000 I'm listening to now before I bought

hazeboss: I'm in Sheffield so don't know if there is anyone near. I know there is a B&O shop in Sheffield but haven't managed to get in there yet. I have been given a Beolink 1000 remote control but this doesnt operate the system either. Is there a combo of buttons or something I have to press? thanks again, Harry If your Beolink 1000

I followed this up with a few tracks from 'A Northern Soul' by the Verve - great stuff indeed :) Our musical tastes are very similar, must be the Yorkshire connection. Must be - where are you then? I'm currently

I use loudness on my BM 8000 and Beovox Penta setup, simply because my existing living room is 12ft x 12ft. I also use the loudness facility on my Beosystem 5000 and CX50 and Cona that is in my 12ft x 11ft bedroom. I cannot really push either setup in terms of volume, as I live in a mid-terraced house, so use the loudness facility to give more depth

britops: What is the purpose of LOUDNESS? Does it not just turn the volume up? or bass, treble ? what if you have lab 5's do you need it then? Don't know what it does in a technical sense, but on my BM 5000 & 8000 it just makes things sound LOUDER!
