In the early days, loudness was sometimes called a "physiological" filter, because that is what it does - it compensates for the properties of the ear. At low volumes, the ear is less sensitive to lows and highs. Anyway, I still don't usually use it, as the effect is a bit too much for me with most equipment. Besides, I live in an apartment

[quote user="Peter "] Then you have the CD50. This was supposed to be the first B&O CD player and is Japanese in origin . I would not recommend this one as it is very complex and they all seem different inside! Nice sounding though if a bit more cool than the CDX. [/quote] I had a CD50 rolling around my floor for months and now I finally

[quote user="Alain-Olivier"] For the sake of understanding, why are the midrange the only ones with foam when the other loudspeahers on the Pentas III are rubber ones. Used to have some RL140 manufactured at about the same time, and they were blessed with the exact same rot problems on the woofers. Can it just be an oversight from the BO engineering

Clean off all the dried up old grease and apply very little silicone grease (NOT silicon paste!) or lithium grease. If the problem is sticky old grease, it will probably work pretty OK with no lubrication at all as long as the tracks are clean - the arm carriage mostly just sits on the tracks on its own weight, it's not a tight fit. Your problem

And more specifically: an either manually tuned or searched frequency, not one of the presets (in which case you'd see the preset number).

[quote user="vikinger"] If Beotimes were made on the scale that Ikea makes furniture then maybe the Beotimes would be £60! [/quote] ...and be sold as a plastic bag full of loose components, and a piece of solder wire just long enough to do the job

Well, I reopened the deck, and checked that the head rotated quite freely all the way up to the two end stop screws, which obviously(?) are also the azimuth adjustments as they have been sealed with red lacquer. I took the liberty of adjusting the offending side by ear, and both sides play very well now. Witnessed below by a cassette I have recorded

I have a Beocord 7000 (type 4941, the "new" mechanism) and I just gave it a clean and replaced the belts. It's now working nicely otherwise, but the sound is quite dull when playing in the reverse direction. "A" side is just fine. I couldn't find any complete service manuals for these later Beocords on site - does it have

The aspect ratio information is carried in SCART pin 8, and it is possible that it is not connected in your cable. However, this would only affect the single source you have connected through this cable, not sources like the internal tuner or anything else you have connected to other inputs. Fully connected SCART cables are usually much thicker than

Hello Cathleen, welcome to the forum You might just go ahead and try the Beomaster. There's a very good chance it will just work, the switches and sliders may need some exercise to work cleanly without scratching. Do you have any kind of speakers for it? The Beogram will most probably need a cleaning and lubrication job and a new belt before working
