Thanks Steve, I'll check it out. Eyesight's going, obviously. Cleve

Having finally bought a BC 9500 - the last in my original list of 'must haves' - I was a little surpised to find there is no built-in clamp at the rear to allow fixing a telescopic 'rabbit's ears' aerial. Most of the other Beomasters and Beocenters I have owned/own have some means of attaching one. I would normally hook the 9500

Jeff, One other thing I forgot to mention. The Quad Preamp/Control units, particularly the 44, have really flexible filter controls - far more sophisticated than the Beomaster 4400, for example. In the real world, rather than the world occupied by the very minimalist school where any sort of control other than a gain knob is viewed with scepticism,

Hi Jeff, The 33/303/FM3 combo was rated highly in its day. I used to have the next generation Quad set up, a 34/405/FM4 which was excellent. I think Frede rates the 405 power amplifier very highly in particular. Vintage Quad gear reflects one man's vision - Peter Walker's - who designed and developed all the early Quad kit, particularly the

I have been talking to Tim about trying to restore a Beocord 5000 - I have two of the things (and a BC 4000). He sent me the link as above. He also, rather cruelly, suggested " Two Beocord 5000s, that's one too many, just like having one of them... ", I still think they're beautiful, but I'm beginning to resign myself to looking

[quote user="alkis_kon"] Hi Cleve! I'm very interested for your Beomaster 2400 but maybe it's too late now and you have already given it! Otherwise I would be very happy to have this wonderful receiver! Best regards, Alkis [/quote] Alkis, I'm sorry but I have already agreed for john to have it. Cleve

[quote user="jooka"] thanks for the comments! and yes, i'm a fan of scandinavian design and b&o as it's made in denmark suits very well for my needs. beovision 6 alone in the room is one beautiful tv and it's seen more as a part of furniture and not against it. [/quote] Any Jacobsen furniture or other pieces like Vola taps

[quote user="Peter "] Yes - that is a forlorn hope! I have had three of these and even the one that Tim actually machined some parts for turned on me and shredded a good tape! Very nice when they work, but... [/quote] I know Peter, but they look so beautiful in conjunction with a BG 400X and a BM 4400 and they are B&O through and through

[quote user="jooka"] also, i've been away from here for awhile and would love to share a shot from my living room from year and a half ago. unfortunately things have changed a little and beosound is on the opposite wall but it's a change for good, imo. anyway, comments are welcome! [/quote] Well, you're obviously an appreciator

My relatively recent contraction of the ‘Beovirus” resulted in my buying, almost indiscriminately, so much vintage B&O that war broke out at home. Part of the negotiations that brought hostilities to a close was an agreement that any further purchases would require the loss of an existing piece on a ‘one in, one out’ basis
