The RL140's are a fine speaker and the 6500 amplifier will have just about enough grunt to handle them. Your problem may be finding a pair in good condition. The cloth fronts are not very user friendly (fragile!) and they suffer from foam rot. Unless you are a boom, boom merchant then you should resist the Beolab 2 for music listening. Edit Oh Dear

You missed a step Keith! Having pressed MENU you need to select SETUP and then 0,0,GO Do you not have to adjust the TV Tuner system as well? (From 16 to 3)

I'm afraid the stylus is non replaceable, you must replace the whole cartridge. More bad news, the only place to buy them is www.sound-smith.com and they are around $150 plus carriage! You could try eBay for a s/h one but this is not recommended as it is impossible to judge the condition.

Now you know why most B&O engineers carry a Beolink 1000 and I have one on my workbench!!

Frank Rizzo: Okay...got it Graham... Do i "have" to change to option 1 ......or can this test mode be done just leaving the option where it is?? ALSO...should i starat with TM27 or go directly to CD TM's???? (cd does not spin) thanks, Not sure what's been going on while I've been away watching TV??? Hey Ho! The 9000 defaults to
