I will happily carry the can for editing the post mentioned above - I was emailed stating that this was effectively advertising by a company not registered as one of our sponsors. I removed the offending links and left the thread which developed nicely. Would do the same again with no hesitation. I would not want to see this site become full of threads

Just ordered mine! Or pre-ordered anyway!! This is what I have been waiting for - everything I am looking for in a new set to replace my Avant. If I am completely honest, an easel frame like the BV5 would be even better but now I am just quibbling. Hope for it beginning of December and will switch to Sky HD at the same time.

The latest software is 0.2.1.0 but you need the Service tool to upgrade yours as far as I know.

Sorry to be some time! Been reading the manuals for the Duet. I see no reason why this does not work. It produces variable line level which is what the BL3s run on and you should not need an attenuator as it does not have a power amplifier. What cables are you using?

Not really - get an expander and you can have as many sources as you could want - You can also keep some of the cable clutter away.

Do you have the Beolab 3s set to LINE?

BG6000 output - FR = Front Right - RR = Rear Right etc. Pin 2 is ground. My findings on the 6000 are in conjunction with Tim Jarman who serviced the 6000 first. We both felt that the 6000 is not as good as the later directly coupled amplifiers. Had a number to compare. Don't get me wrong, I like the 6000 - I have a rather good one myself, but I

But are they oxygen free and directional?

Ho ho! I have a few, but mainly classical which I would prefer to keep. I will however send you two - one SQ and one CD4 so you can compare. The SQ one is Chicago VIII and I am afraid the CD4 one is Perry Como - Just Out Of Reach. (I did not buy these - they came with my 6000 system!) They both look in nice condition - the Perry Como still has the plastic

Put a screw driver in the FM aerial socket and you should get a signal. If the BG6000 is working as it sounds as if it is, you have a real bargain. That alone is probably worth £300 because of the RIAA being built in and the design. I'll have a look at the recordings I have - I think prog rock could be a bit optimistic!
