Just intense frustration! The Beo4 is much better!

A big Thank You to Andrew Petley who has supplied us with the user manuals for the Beogram 1202 and Beomaster 1001. These are now on site. This is the era where we usually have the service manuals but no user manuals. Many thanks,

I had my M100.2s done by Recone and they couldn't get the correct surround for the phase link unit. They too did a cut and shut and it seems to work very well. I second the thoughts above - beautiful job on the cabinets. Well worth it too! While you are there, replace the capacitors - there are a lot! Made a huge difference to mine.

moxxey: j0hnbarker: Fair enough? Fair enough John. Thanks. Well done the pair of you! No moderation needed and what could have become intensely personal settled amicably. I think this exchange shows that we really do have a very grown up set of members who are aware of the sensibilities of others. I do think that we have to be aware that we are all

You need the surround module. If you have one pair of 6000s, these would actually be the front speakers on the Avant with the speakers in the Avant itself acting as the centre speaker. Rear speakers actually have relatively little sound sent to them but are worth getting in the long run. The price of a new module used to be £250 but you may find

The question will be, does it have the optional surround sound module. If it doesn't, these are still available I believe and can be added!

Any of the MMC20 range will work or indeed the older MMCX000 range. You can get new cartridges from Soundsmith but they are prohibitively expensive!

Come on you lot! I worked it out! All you need is something like a small flash of inspiration!

peterjacobs: I absolutely endorse yours and Keith's views/sentiment. I will of course go back to the dealer and reward them when I treat myself to say a Beo 5. I don't need it but what the hell !!. Peter, it would appear that the Panasonic DMR EH60DEB is not now sold, what would be an equivalent one with the necessary DTS decoder/encoder etc

I am sure those can be fixed.
