[quote user="RedGrant"] I heard that BC 8004 re winds slower than BC 9000. Is it true? [/quote] Not sure - both are quick but the 9000 has a clever trick in that it slows down as the tape is about to end to reduce the strain on the tape when it reaches the end.

I have emailed him and have said I want to send him a MMC2, a MMC5000 and an SP12. I am going to see if he will do some photos of the process and will post the results.

Does he speak English? He could be a very useful person to know!

Quite like the wood CD player - also like the top of the range system for a few dollars short of $1,000,000 ! Don't think my rooms are quite big enough though!

Looks very good. Could do with an English translation - I note he will also replace sapphire cantilvers and even has Shibata tips for those with quad records.

Best balanced speaker made by B&O. Definitely better than S75s, though not as nicely finished. Prone to foam rot. M150s are bigger and have more bass but are best suited to big rooms.

Very clever! Most impressed.
