[quote user="Puncher"] Does anyone else think this whole episode is getting out of hand! It's not a matter of national security, it's a picture posted, on a AV manufacturers fansite, by someone suspected of doing so purely out of devilment and to provoke some response (I bet he can't believe his luck with the way this thread has

And a warm welcome from me too Glen. An iconic system you have purchased there, I also have this system (amongst others) and it is one of my favourite EVER B&O products. Enjoy it for now and look forward to expanding your collection - it is inevitable Chris.

It sounds like the RIAA has been disconnected or even removed for the Beogram. Do you have another Beomaster such as a BM5500 to try the Beogram 6500 with? This should tell you if the problem lies with the Beogram or not. If it plays normally then the RIAA has been disconnected, if you get distorted noise then the RIAA is still connected and there is

[quote user="PhilLondon"] This one: http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/post/227427.aspx [/quote] As far as I am aware no site sponsor has EVER asked for a thread to be edited or removed.

Agree 100% with Peter re:- collecting in person and also your choice of the BG400* series You need to aware though that it will play directly via the Phono input of a Beomaster 5000 but will require an external RIAA preamp to use with a Beosound 4 (the Beomaster 5000 has a RIAA already fitted).
