I havent worn a shirt since school, apart from weddings and funerals that is. Dont ask me why but I just hate anything with collars. I dont even own polo shirts or rugby shirts. T shirts only for me.

Very nice indeed! If I could find one like that I would jump at the chance to have it. Its amazing how something can look "retro" and futuristic at the same time.

I was listening to Suzanne Vega on my CDX last night and a couple of things struck me. Firstly I wondered if the CDX was the first CD player that has the CD visibly on display like a record. After one or two more alcoholic drinks I was thinking just how much like a vinyl beogram the CDX looks. I got an LP and placed it on the CDX lid and sure enough

That picture squashes the 8000 a bit. I thought it was a 6000 at first glance!

The one bit of equipment that I will never change in my set up is my CDX. It sounds better than any other B&O cd player (imo) and I like its quirky opening and closing.

Either refoam the originals (not too difficult) or you can buy new peerless drivers for them (800667 or something similar - have a search on here for the correct peerless number). I would recommend changing the capacitors

I would love to learn about electronic repairs but am unsure about how to go about it. Does anyone have any advice. I am thinking about night school etc but first could some one give me some advice on what I might need for simple repairs. I have a soldering iron and can do simple things like replacing capacitors in speakers and soldering lamps in a
