Interesting! But how is it different to the 6000? I was expecting it to be black!

If I was thinking of the top ten models, it would be a little different! Certain models changed the direction of B&O completely so the Eliminator has to be there as does the Five Lamper. The Beolit 39 is gorgeous, even though this was the cheap model! (Not now!!) The one off Krone 1 would be on the list (This is the one I would steal from the museum

[quote user="evman140"] [quote user="Calvin"] Wow, I havn't come across the 5RG Radiogram before, that's an incredible piece of design. Even if it was released now it would look pretty good. Sums up why I buy B&O (Thanks Wasti, it's good when people unexpectedly learn stuff like this) [/quote] The 5 RG steel is fascinating

If you know which colour is which, look at this page . Let us know the colours for future reference!!

Getting a dealer to fix these will massively exceed the value of the speakers.

I am sure the laser is fine but the caopacitor will be going!

I am pretty sure all Beomaster 6000 quad receivers have the remote sensor. The later Beomaster 6000 had an optional remote so maybe this is what Tim meant.

The CD5500 is probably the best CD player made by B&O. However they can still break so do make sure it is working before buying as 900 Euro is very expensive. I would probably look for another. I doubt you will hear the difference!

The conversion obviously allows a variety of the Grado cartridges to be fitted. B&O cartridges were actually quite cheap originally and even the MMC20CL was relatively inexpensive. There is a captive market these days and Soundsmith cartridges are hand made and therefore very expensive. It is an understandable conversion in my view as the 4000 deck

[quote user="Craig"] Seem to remember seeing a BG400X on Ebay a good while back with this conversion. Craig [/quote] This is a recognised conversion that had been done in the States for some time. The one Craig is thinking of also had a glass platter and a record clamp. The Grado cartridge was either silver or white and gave a better aesthetic
