thanks Peter. will give it a go . I have compared the MMC5 I had on my beocenter 7700 with the MMC1 and the jump in sound quality is very obvious even very old vinyl sounds better. Justin

Hi all. Does anyone know if the datalink feature is preserved when I plug the 5005 into the beomaster 8000. All the manuals say both are datalink compatible but i'm not sure the 8000 phono connector is the right size? also looking for a beolab teminal to control the beomaster. As a footnote i aquired the 5005 today for a pittance and low and behold

Thanks for replies . all good advice. I have calmed down considerably since finding someone else to do the work . So hopefully my beloved Beocenter will be back to its best soon best justin

Thanks for the tip Lee. I was perhaps too angry when I wrote the message but it just seemed to be the usual "if anyone mentions B&O they must be rich and stupid" sort of quote. If it wasn't for forums like this i'm sure most vintage B&O woud be on the scrapheap beacuase of this, thanks again Justin

Thought i'd let you know the price quoted by a london"vintage electronics engineer" to service a very respectable Beocenter 7700. nothing wrong with it, just wanted it to have a lubrication and a quick check over. 600.00 pounds according to LONDON SOUND . what a ******* liberty! or perhaps he just like adding to his website rather than

Couldn't wait any longer for a new speaker package so bought some mordaunt short 902i's today . have bi wired them to the beocenter 7007 and its sounds astonishing. like a new system. punchy , tight , deep bass and open expressive top end . a match made in heaven for the price ( 90 pounds form Holbon richer sounds) i'd recommend these speakers

Your right of course, the whole thing is driven by emotion !! thanks for the tip on Wembley Loudspeakers. will give them a call. By the way , is it possible to " Bi Wire " speakers on a beocentre 7007 using the din out speaker connectors? thanks again justin

I bought a nice pair of these from a boot fair today for a fiver . the cabinets are mint but of course the foam surrounds the woofers have perished . strangely enough they still sound great ( or is it my ears??) when hooked up to my Boecenter 7007. is it possible to re foam these and is it worth it ? any feedback would be much appreciated. thank everyone

Thanks for the reply Chris . Thats exactly what I did !! Have searched the forum and found the solution re: TP2/ RCA inputs and adapting the 7 pin CD lead to 5 pin and connecting via a female din to male RCA lead. It all seemed so simple when I found that din socket!! thanks again Justin

Need some help here! Just got hold a mint condition Beogram CD7000 and want to connect it to my Beocenter 7007. CD player only has male 7pin din output plug. I tried this in the rear din socket on the 7007 and it worked fine for listening to CD's ( in fact the sound was really excellent) The problem is that when this set up is used all the other
