Following Buranteks thread.... What I can share with you all is my parents still have the S45 beovox (yes the early 1980's range...) and they have been kept in a smoke free and dry environment, and were never exposed to direct sunlight..In fact they are still in the same house and position in their living room as the day they were purchased....

Hi, Couldn't agree more with the concept of if we could have back Jacob Jensen ... Was commenting only yesterday why doesn't B&O take the opportunity to 'reinterpret' some of its past classic and iconic designs.. most of these pieces from the 70s and 80s still look thoroughly modern 30 years on, so much so that many people don't

Hey Mike, Wondering how your project is coming along? Would be very interested to see. Presently I wont put just any CD player next to my BM6000, I have it linked to a stacking one with my DVD player etc under my TV nearby, but would love to have a matching CD unit to sit next to it. It was the long 'console' design of this system which I really

Hi All, My caps arrived, with many thanks to Martin and I've had them installed. And, the S80's sound fantastic.

Hi Martin, Ok thanks for the clarification, yes please include the resistor and instructions with the caps if thats ok, if all else fails we'll look into that problem. A great weekend to all...

Hi Peter, Thought I might revive this thread . . . as its was a very interesting question, especially for me as I think my collection would have to be quite focused and considered, living on the other side of the world where preowned pieces are not readily available and considerable sums are required to get units here you need to think carefully and

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your ideas on how to nip this problem in the bud... Will try each and see whether it solves the issue .. unfortunately its not a music loving cat! Failing that i will venture into unchartered territory and try opening up the unit and see if I spot any of the internal issues suggested... Have downloaded service manual , so
