[quote user="j0hnbarker"] You can keep your Beosound 5s etc. I'll tell you what looks the business: ...no competition :) [/quote] It certainly is stunning, but am I missing something here? Where are the pickup/sensor arms? Cleve

[quote user="Peter "] According to iTunes, mine would take 84 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes and 4 seconds. And that would be continuous listening. The big advantage of having it on HDD is that I can listen to anything almost instantaneously rather than digging through my records or CDs. [/quote] Ah, Peter, but you would miss out on the ritual

I have about 1200 CDs, and 1 record! (and the record hasn't arrived yet) This reminds me of series of letters in the 'Gramophone' magazine many years ago when someone was questioning the wisdom of having large record collections. They pointed out that, for someone like me with 1200 CDs, and assuming that I play 5 CDs a day 5 days a week

[quote user="Peter "] I must confess that I thought it was mythical for a while. Tim and I actually dismantled a 4400 with the idea that it be anodised in black - we had visions of giving it to B&O for their museum to see if we could get a fake piece in. However Frede found a real one just as I had finished pulling the 4400 apart! He then

[quote user="Peter "] He would take it on I expect, but he prefers equipment brought and collected rather than posted. Cosmetic problems are very hard to remedy though. It is always best to start with a mint looking but not working device than a working scruffy one. I should be getting my 4401 in July by the way! I can probably drop the 4400

[quote user="Peter "] [quote user="Cleviebaby"] A quick visit to Martin’s (Dillen) comments in various posts on problems with BM2200s and the other 2200 derivative , the BC3300, made me realise I may have bitten off more than I can chew. If only the blasted thing didn’t sound so good and wasn’t quite so rare I wouldn’t

Thanks Stein and Peter, It is sad that the two people most responsible for the design credibility of B&O may not see eye to eye now - but then the creative world has been littered with such tensions. Another thought. Having only been a member of Beoworld for less than a year and therefore not around when the most recent Struer trip took place, are

I had always believed that Jacob Jensen was responsible for the original BL/BM 5000 of the sixties. All the literature I have read supports this. But I was trawling around looking to see how much these things cost now and I came across David Lewis’s website. I know Lewis joined Jensen’s team in the late 60s and that he appeared to be responsible

Thanks for all your comment, advice and opinion. It seems strange that, after returning to B&O in the early 1990s to get away from the constant game of upgrading, I’m now in danger of going to the other extreme by adding more rather than replacing pieces – I suppose that is the B&O curse. Buying the BC 4000 was very much a whim involving

Anyd, I thought it was very exotic, even if it isn't in the Azores
