[quote user="tournedos"] $378.55 (and a probable disappointment to the buyer if he intends to use it). Would be a very nice collectible though as all the paraphernalia is there. [/quote] Lots to pay for just a collectible.

[quote user="mediabobny"] Twice as much as it would have been if you didn't advertise it here [/quote] I have no doubt someone else will win it! My personal rule of thumb is never pay more than $100 for something without seeing it and listening to it in person, unless I personally know the seller. For the record, I'll guess $285.

This cartridge is so close to me geographically I can practically smell it. Anyone want to guess final price?

[quote user="mhw"] One of the amps for my Pentas has been in for a service and is finally back. Testing them with the remastered copy of "Wish you were here" and some good coffee. Life is good! [/quote] Very cool! This morning, writing a report for work and listening to XTC's alter ego: Dukes of Stratosphear "Psonic Psunspot

[quote user="crd101"] Decided not to ge the Yamahas and instead got a pair of Beovox S2200 for £30. Can't find much details about them online but I heard them before I bought them and they sounded good to a causal listener like me (although i'm sure someone will tell me they are worse than the X25s ). All set now with my 901

[quote user="Søren Mexico"] nearly all Beovox has the 2 pin DIN connectors, 1 spade and one round, the spade is negative and the pin (round) is the positive (+), the BM 901 can drive nearly all of them, B&O recommended P 30, S 22, S25, but go bigger S45, S45-2, they all sound good with the 901, at the moment I use Beovox 3000 flat

I can't imagine having 4 S60s just sitting unused for 25 years. Surely 3 of them could be LCR in a 5 channel surround system with say, 2 S40s for the rear.

[quote user="Eugene"] [quote user="Rich"] [quote user="Eugene"] I also converted my Beocord 5000 to play the iPod or MP3 player. Remeber cassettes had there own method of decompressing and expanding out the "original compressed" tape signals. works pretty well. actually I have to set the iPod at 1/2 volume or

[quote user="Eugene"] The whole beosystem 5000 is worth the effort to restore. I have restored a few myself and would not hesitate for one minute to do it all over again if the right deal were to come along - again. [/quote] Yeah, but then you give them away!!!
