I have an intermittent problem with the turntable on my Beocenter 7000 Most of the time when I press the PH button the turntable starts normally. Sometimes there is a kind of 'pop' sound then notjhing happens and sometimes nothing at all happens. Usually turning the unit onto standby for a couple of minutes solves the problem.This morning it

Thanks for the link. I couldn't believe how amazingly ugly the headshell/cartridge combos looked when the cartridges were plugged into non-B&O turntables! If you are paying that much for a cartrige it is worth buying a B&O turntable to put it in. Simon

My father's Beovox S30's have been defying replacement for more than 30 years now, including when he took them to his local hi-fi shop and auditioned them against some very expensive speakers. The rest of the B&O he bought at the time is long gone. He uses them exclusively for classical music and they still sound stunning. I have recapped

I can certainly hear differences between the cartridges I have (MMC20E and MMC300 at present, saving up for a Soundsmith) but I am still unclear how much difference the Radial/Linear issue would make if the same cartridge were used. Simon

I understand the theory of linear turntable tracking, but do they actuslly suond significantly better? i.e. would you notice the difference if you listened with your eyes shut? Simon

Just realised you have opne of the tangenital turntables which I know very little about! You can download the service manual if you upgrade to Silver or gold membership on the site and a quick glance reveals plenty of things to lubricate and adjust! It's also worth spending £5-10 on a battery-powered portable microscope from eBay and using

Speaking as a sad old 40-something who has been dusting off his record collection I can definitelty say you have a problem! I clean both stylus and records regularly, but use nothing special to do so. When I was using my old MMC20S I used to have a lot of problems with the stylus picking up dust that I didn't get with the MMC20E I also had. When

Sounds way too much to me given the age of the unit! Simon

Just be wary of the fact that buying old B&O speakers and tinkering with them is the the 'gateway drug' to buying lots more B&O! Simon Zelbinion: Thanks for the replies, guys. Now I just have to work out which ones I want to get. The S45s have recently been refurbished, as have the S50s. I'm leaning towards the S45s, as I don't

This thread will give you an idea. You will need to do some soldering. http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/40891.aspx Simon
