Evening all! Craig has inspired me to open the 12 year old Johnnie Walker Black Label tht I got for christmas! Simon

With speaker cables I can see the benefit of having a decent quaity OFC cable with sufficient gauge to ensure minimal resistance, and of making sure you have a very good connection, but that does not mean overly expensive. A few pounds a meter should be the absolute maximum expenditure that could possibly have any benefit. Over that and the marketing

Apologies for the delay in posting the picture. The relative sizes of the S45-2 and the S30 can be seen here, along with a CX100 for reference. The S30 (type 6301) is often found guilty by association with it's later, bulkier, inferior namesake but is IMHO a great little speaker. The more astute amongst you will have noticed that the s30 is upside

[quote user="9 LEE"] [quote user="burantek"] Good looking speakers! But... what was the B&o for home??? [/quote] BeoGram 4000, MMC1 BeoMaster 8000 and MS150.2's. All boxed and mint. [/quote] Lee Congratulations! Sounds like a great find. I don't think it gets any better than that for vintage B&O. Simon

Peter You are absolutely right about the 1200, I was confusing it with the 1100 which is an unremarkable turntable. I have seen the 1200 go for over 100 pounds with a working cartridge and good photos. Simon

[quote user="Dave"] [quote user="Luke "] Anyway I am aware that I am getting too old for this stuff... but someone left me a bottle of gin and I thought it would be interesting to infuse it with raspberries and have it with tonic and lime. It was interesting... but the quinine taste from the tonic water kept coming back the next

Andy Welcome to Beoworld. I am sorry to hear about your father, it sounds like he would have liked it here! Ebay can be a good place to find buyers. Some of this kit is harder to sell than others and nearly all of it will be quite hard to post so it would be useful if you could tell us where to live. Condition is really important with second-hand B&O

[quote user="mbee"] I've finished testing the B&W P5 : disappointing The sound is too flat, too bassy, not natural. Even a friend who has B&W at home didn't like the sound of the P5... They seem to have a new product coming that may be better (there is a picture of an unidentified headphone on the P5 brochure), so until then

Really happy to have got this, I have wanted one for ages! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330426553243&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Simon

I think the £75 may refer to the kit to upgrade a Mk1 to Mk2 which (I think) is replacing most of the phones innards, so £75 isn't unreasonable. Simon
