Hi Frederik, I am in the process of ordering new caps for my BM8000, I noticed in the service manual there are quite a lot of electrolytics and tantalum caps in the signal path. I took a close look at your pictures, I saw you used some tantals in the preamp, and a film for the 4,7uF on the power amp board? What did you do with the signal path capacitor

Hi Frederik, Thanks for the advice! I already had a quick check of the power amps, they looked fine so I trust them. Next weekend it is time for the big overhaul. I came up with a question for you, check your thread!

Hi Lux, I recognized the words M100.2 and refoaming in your threads title, so I threw the entire thread through google translate: I can second Martin, a pair of M100's with new caps and a refoamed midrange are worth at least a right arm! I have a pair and am absolutely in love with their big quality sound and looks. Refoaming is not hard to do,

Ah I see, the spring pressure is the other way round, it presses the wire's tip onto the trace! Quite logical actually! Thank you for helping me understand Martin! PS: I was listening to the mighty beomaster while typing this, it just gave a loud crack through the speakers. Third time that happened already! Guess I'd better make haste with the

Hi Martin, Thanks! I drew a little picture, if I understand correctly the LEDs are soldered with their base to the + side of the PCB. and the little wire is hooked like a spring behind the edge of the - trace on the PCB like this?

Hello fellow Beo-cravers, A dream has come true: I recently bought a beautiful, massive, powerful BM8000! It works perfectly, except for intermittent disfunction of a couple of leds, probably due to faulty connections of PCB. I want to make it ready for the future, so when my final exams are done next week I'm going to give it a check-up: - Fresh

nevermind guys. I was curious and tried paint thinner: worked a treat! Took a lot of polishing but the BM is back to its old glory!

Dear fellow beo-enthousiasts, Since yesterday I am the proud owner of a huge beomaster 8000 receiver! After the 80's BM3000, finally an amplifier that does the M100's justice. I am thrilled with the sound! The previous owner has painted the veneer of the 8000, and the beocord that came with it, with thick black piano laquer. The veneer has no

Very nice! The new design emphasises the great looks of the products when viewing the site. Good job, some more hi-res pictures would make it even better!
