Do you get the thinly veiled dig at B&O. I suppose he can't help himself! Good listing, nonetheless. " Not embarrassed by being played through a good system and obviously well suited to Beomaster amplifiers. Good partner for good, mid range amplifiers such as NAD and Rotel. "

I agree with Foxtrott. Easiest to use and most reliable is Beolink 1000. BL5000 and 7000 are either too fragile or to cumbersome to be considered. Both are also notoriously unreliable.

Agree with Dillen. Sounds like you need to be using the Phono 1 input which is for T/T's without built in pre-amp.

[quote user="chartz"] Hi, [quote user="joeyboygolf"] My guess would be a problem with dirty contacts on the mute relay?

I fail to see what you are getting all excited about. They were crap and only suitable for spares.

[quote user="Telecine"] [quote user="Doctor"] The wooden plinth replaces easily. I have swapped mine around. The plastic washers that hold it are pretty fragile though - I replaced the ones on mine. One of my decks had a particularly hard life - someone left it in a damp cellar and the metal corroded. It has however been reborn

[quote user="PhilLondon"] I have said that a few times, but in every segment of the market, that Apple entered, B&O has had to pull out. Beosound 6 - iPod, Serenata - iPhone. [/quote] They had to pull out because the products were crap. Nothing to do with Apple
