  • Re: When does the drawing of the prizes begin?

    9 LEE: lawrencejmcook: I would be ecstatic if I won one of: the Earset 2 (to go with my Serene), the Form 2 headphones, or the Beolab 4 pair. I officially removed myself from the draw a few days ago. It brought tears to my eyes.. I'm doing the lottery though, and if i win i'm going to buy a hotel, fill it with different levels of B&O, and

  • Re: CDX in an old setup

    I bought a non-functioning CDX for 5 GBP from my local B&O dealer, as I had started collecting pieces purely for the design. Got it home and thought I would give it a try - popped a CD in, and it didn't even spin it. Ah well... I then started to clean it. I opened the lid and started to clean the deck either side of the loading tray with a tissue

    Thank you, Peter. Very enlightening.

  • Re: Best sounding receiver?

    Talking of monoblocs, I so hated the sound of the amp in my BC9500, I bought a pair of Beolab 200s to drive my Diesis Solitaire speakers. They take a lot of warming up before the sound starts to mellow! I wonder how the amp design varies between the Beolab 200, BM 5000/5500/6500/6000, BM 3500/4500. And how these "modern" designs compare with

  • Re: Best sounding receiver?

    J0hnbarker's willing to bring his 8000 system, I'll bring my BM6000 quad (with remote commander!) and my Beogram CDX as a reference source. I even have a pair of Beovox P45s - but sadly, just the one pair. Who can bring a Beogram 6000? Anyone able to bring a Beocord 5000 type 47xx? What were the reference speakers of that time?

  • Re: Best sounding receiver?

    I have a 70s BM2000 and a BM6000 (quadrophonic). Playing my Beogram CDX and listening through my old pair of Diesis Solitaire loudspeakers, I have to say that the BM2000 sounds the most dynamic and open. t definitely sounds better than my Aunt's BM3000-2. My BC9500's own internal amplifier sounds flat and lifeless by comparison. But when it

  • Re: What is it that people like about the Serene?

    The wow factor is in the motorised opening, and the simplicity of th ringtones. But this phone is shockingly backward in some respects. Took it with me to the US last October, and found that I had to MANUALLY change the band from GSM900 to xxx (whatever it is they use out there). I've taken Nokias, Siemens, Ericssons and Motorolas to the US, and
