[quote user="wirralsimon"] Cleve How is the recovery from B&O addiction coming along? [/quote] Simon, It isn't. Not only am I thinking about a 9500, I now find I am spending inordinate amounts of time on this site and on ebay. I am also displaying unfortunate behavioural changes as well. Went to pick up Peter's BM 4400 from Lee

You have a PM Cleve

Michael, My link didn't work (again) try this one

[quote user="defrancesco1"]If anyone has thouhts about the appropriate counterwieght/tonearm wieght settings or how high the black piece that holds the tonearm should be, please let me know.[/quote] Michael, It depends on which cartridge you have. An MMC 20s would work best at 1.5 grams, and MMC 20EN at about 1.2/1.3gms. Given that these cartridges

Peter, As a direct beneficiary of your desire for a BM 4401, I have to say the whole system looks very good. How about a Beocord 2200 in Rosewood to really complete the aesthetic match! A query about the positioning of M100s. Are they set a little close together for a decent stereo stage or was it purely for the photo? Cleve

Michael, Apologies, the link failed on my previous post - this might work!! Try this link Cleve

Hi Michael, The 3404 looks to have the same arm as the European market's Beogram 1700, and I had a very similar problem with the arm lift on my BG1700 - a completely locked up arm lift mechanism - it wouldn't lift at all - even slowly. There is some really useful help on this thread, although I would always respect Peter's advice on anything

Martin, Found these on ebay in Germany - look fine although my German is very poor http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/B-O-Bang-Olufsen-Lautsprecherboxen-Beovox-1702_W0QQitemZ250463149248QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Lautsprecher_Martin?hash=item3a50c45cc0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Cleve

[quote user="wirralsimon"]But I am not addicted and I can stop anytime I want.......[/quote] Would it be appropriate for we Beoworlders to have our own '12 step programme' (similar to AAs) to help with this? Simon, at least you have passed a few pieces on - I haven't got to that stage yet! And in my original post, i didn't

My partner says I have an addiction. Rubbish. I'd like to tell you my story and you will all agree it's perfectly normal behaviour. I'm sure it is, really sure. Isn't it? I was a contented music lover, regularly listening to my Beosystem 2500 and occasionally, my Beosystem 10 in the garden, and once in a while watching my Beovision LX5500
