It might be worth asking Frede as well.

P45s are great speakers - note what Martin has said about the woofers though - glue the magnets in place. I am using CX100s with my BM5500 - space constraints!

I see what you mean - your dealer is wrong. If you look at the signal path you can see it is unimpeded. The cartridges go from 20Hz so again no cut off.

The 3000 is a good deck - the best deck with an SP cartridge made by B&O. You might be able to get the cartridge repaired by Axel.

[quote user="Alex"] B&O can't keep expecting it's customers to use a remote control which is essentially a 17 year old design (the Beo 4), even if it is a fantastic remote. Such a major transition to completely online software updates is something I would imaging B&O is working on - and from the look of things, not rushing

Bass under 50Hz is very low end! You will feel it more than hear it. I would agree to an extent with your dealer as Beograms on the whole do sound a little bass light, probably due to the lack of decent record support. However whether this ultimate lack of bass is relevant is debatable. I doubt most speakers will reproduce that much at the lower levels

Record players are fairly simple - there simply should not be too many areas to generate hum. The cartridge itself should not generate any hum and the feed from the arm should be fine. It must be the chassis. You need to trace the ground and see if there is signal and trace back. It should be relatively easy as you can remove the top plates making it

I can confirm that no Beomaster 5 is needed. That is the point - as Trip says, it will be more expensive that a BS5 but a fair bit less than the BM5 + BS5.

Yes. He is also a thoughly nice chap. If you ever visit Struer, a trip to meet Frede and his delightful wife is the highlight.

I found a little more weight than original for my MMC5000 gave better results. Use an LP you know well and tune by ear. Set to 1.2g and then increase by 0.1g steps. Also remember that the indicated weight might not be accurate - I use a B&O stylus gauge.
