In Finland, making "a few" copies for "private use" is legal, if the original is acquired legally and you do not need to circumvent any technical protection to do the copy - this means even if you borrow the record from a library! Blank media sold in Finland carries a fee which is supposed to compensate this for the artists. The

Well, I seem to recall people have made BM1700 adjustment tracks from timing belts, so a CV joint boot follows the ethos...

"TEST PRODUCT" so it must be an early sample or a prototype... do not part it out

[quote user="nmartin771"] [quote user="tournedos"]Therefore, using class D for the higher frequencies as well would add a lot of cost and technical difficulties with practically no benefits.[/quote] Interesting, what about 5's then ? [/quote] Even the mid and treble amps are much bigger in the 5s, so I believe it is already a

I like the variety in this thread, I would've expected it to degenerate into cars only within a couple of posts But, really it's off topic in the general forum. The lifestyle subforum is exactly for this, and I'll move the thread there later today to allow some moment of notice... EDIT: moved, hope the audience still finds this

Purely technical I think. Due to the operating principle, class D amps get increasingly difficult to implement when the required audio frequency range gets higher. Also, the main advantage of class D is power efficiency, and most of the power is required at the bass section. Therefore, using class D for the higher frequencies as well would add a lot

[quote user="chartz"] By the way, is the "clack" noise normal when the tray opens (just after you press the button)? It's the mech hitting the bottom plate! [/quote] More or less in all I've seen, at least when closing. But, the tray travel has some rubber bumpers you can barely notice in the explosion diagram. You might

I believe 610 never had provisions for installing a stereo decoder, and it's certainly not a standard feature. Not nearly all 900s have it either, but in those, there is a plug for it inside and it requires no other modifications. I don't think the receiver would work at all if you were trying to run it at half the specified voltage, so you

The puck has wobbled more or less on all I've seen under the lid. It's final placement seems just random at every load. No, I've never seen that logo light up! Cool idea, but against B&O simplicity I think...

[quote user="chartz"]Yes it is a 130 degrees thermal fuse. Can it be easily extracted?[/quote] Wish I knew - never had this problem myself, so I haven't paid attention to where it is actually located. It has a separate part number in the service manual, so I think it is supposed to be replaceable... Sometimes they are just pushed into
