Welcome to the forum, Chasepoes! You are not alone, the "muffled" high end of the unmodified Pentas has been discussed a number of times. Actually, that mod of yours is suggested in this thread (starts in German, but ends in English) among other improvements. I believe it is a matter of taste if you like this additional treble or not - but

If it doesn't need to be something fancy and official, try your nearest electrical hardware supplier...

Just bought a Beogram 1000 and wish I had more old music... Carola - La Mamma (1965)

[quote user="ThePriest"] I also had this in mind, walnut on the columns [/quote] Looks much too heavy to me. And in any case, you could do that later if you get bored with the "plain" columns.

I tried and tried to think and I believe the best buy I ever did was a... MX2000 for 31 euros. Yes it's old, yes it needed repairs (half an hour resoldering and adjusting), but the picture is just unbelievably beautiful. Even better than the MX4002 I also have at the summer cottage - the latter has that stupid RGB switching common to all B&O

I second the recommendation on the EVB ESR meter. It has been worth its weight (not that much though ) in gold! It really saves time & trouble because most of the time you can measure the caps without even unsoldering them first. But, even if you are experienced in assembly work and electronics, I recommend to get the ready built unit instead of

Pretty much similar to what my BG6000 did when I got it. At first the stops were seemingly random. Then I replaced all electrolytic (including tantals) caps from the control circuitry, and the stops got much more regular: either right after start, or when the arm reached the 45 rpm landing zone (wide black stripe) while playing. I never found the real
