Another Olde Worlde article this month in this excellent publication. This time extolling the virtues of the Beosystem 5000. A very well written article, most of which I agree with. Hi-Fi World is actually the only magazine I have a subscription for and it offers what I regard as good opinions with more articles on B&O than any other publication. Well worth our support.

About the only quibbles I would have is the description of the Beogram 5005 being more complex than the Beogram 5000 - in my view the 5000 was the ultimate example of the lightweight radial deck made by B&O where the 5005 was a disappointment in comparison to the earlier tangential decks. The 5000 was sturdier, had a superb build quality and sounded better than the 5005 - I swapped my 5000 for a 5005 and always regretted it.  The only other quibble was the failure to mention the excellent support for the products available on Beoworld!

Maybe a letter to the Editor is called for! Do go out and buy the magazine - it may encourage further articles! It is the November issue Vol.17 No.9. 

Perfectly fair point!

Hi-Fi World have now done a number of articles on B&O - both old and new - and all have been well worth reading. They also seem slightly less nutty about power cables and connectors than some magazines which gives me hope.
