Hello all, I've just (finally!) acquired a very nice pair of MC120.2. I've had Arcam Ones for 15 years so I was used to their brightish (British?) presentation. After some tests, I find them on the dull side of neutral (think ESL), lacking a bit in treble level and extension. I use a Beomaster 6000, a CDX and a Beogram 8000. Bass is very, very

I've edited my post slightly. Thank you!

Hi, Bad solder joints eh... rings a bell or two!! All, and I do mean all, Beo gear that have passed into my hands so far had this problem... I too suspected bad components. Sometimes they are good, sometimes not so good, but the joints are often bad. On my two Beogram CD players, the passive components were still okay, but I realised that changing them

Thank you Martin for your support, you are a friend indeed. It's true the Beocord 9000 sounds different from the 6000/8000 series—mine were IEC later models—which deal with pre-recorded tapes (lots of them were recorded on Nakamichi-like set machines) better. Now the transport works normally, I am impressed by speed stability because
