I think you will find that Beoworld has at times been even more critical of certain products that even Beocentral. There is a fine line to be walked here though, This is a B&O enthusiast site so you will find that the majority of views will be positive. In the case of the Beolab 8000, this is a very beautiful speaker. Despite its unsuitable shape

I think I agree with you! It does sound as it this will be a face for the iTouch etc but we won't know for certain till we see it. A little bit of ill informed gossip can be fun though!

I had the phase link unit on the M100s replaced - apparently these are an unusual size and it necessitated doing a cut and shut with a rubber surround. No problems since though - these are wonderful speakers - superb bass control and the wood finish is beautiful.

So the interface looks as if the whole thing is B&O. Little point really but probably looks nice.

You will always be taking a risk with this age of equipment - I would get a 9500 as it is more advanced. Parts will be a problem so make sure any you buy is not cosmetically challenged! The laser is going to be the worry - most simply need a capacitor replacement as documented but if the laser does go, you will need to get a replacement from another

An MCL2A will not be that useful. You need an MCL:2AV as this has a fair degree of independent volume control - The MCL2A will ju8st adjust the volume of the main system, which you can already do. The MCL2AV essentually has its own pre-amp. It is dependent still on the volume of the system - you cannot have one very quiet and the other very loud, but

Interesting thoughts. I have had the full range of the Beograms of this type and agree and disagree ! [quote user="chartz"] Hello, The Beogram 4002 is a nice turntable to behold, nobody will doubt this. However, I have compared it to my Beogram 8000 just out of curiosity. Here are my humble conclusions. 1/ Soundwise, there is not much. Once

Probably worth contacting a number of the re-sellers and getting some quotes!

The MCL2P is just a power amplifier so is totally dependent on the input level. The amount of amplification is fixed. To get independent volume control, you need a Beolink active box somewhere in your system, either for the MCP or the 4000s.

Is it a friend? The 1900 is very desirable though the duff light is a pain - these can be fixed but taking them apart is tricky (actually to be completely accurate, putting them back together is the problem! ) The deck is a good simple one and the stylus could be retipped up to any level you wish. The speakers are also excellent - if they have the stands
