    Anyway  i have tripped over a old Beolab5000 amp. that i have stand untesded for aprox 10 years  . Just turned it in for maintence/service.

    Do have 1 pic on it  http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k211/Stefan1973/HPIM1977.jpg   Wondering about what year etc etc  it can be ??

    And thinking about use it as my Amp in my stereoset . I do have a Old beomaster 4400 . 

    But i dont know  beolab have RCA  that fits my other gear better then convert everything to DIN ,

    So i want opinions in  what can be best to use ? 

    and yes i do play  LP & CD

     

     

    Many thanx // Stefan  / sweden

    Hi

    the picture of the amp is actually the second of the speaker pictures.

    ( they look a bit like some speakers from a Danish company called Ste-Ma that my family had from the Sixties )

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

    Well, after a bit of detective work: Big Smile

    That amp belongs to the Beolab 5000 system from 1967-72 and is definitely very collectable (but you now have to find the matching Beomaster 5000 tuner as well! Wink )

    On that amp, you can use either the RCAs or the DINs, they are connected in parallel. This is one of the finest amplifiers of its time, but technically, the Beomaster 4400 is newer technology and better. Being the top if its line, it is very much worth keeping as well. I'd use the 4400 for everyday listening - the markings on the 5000 fascia are prone to wear off, and if you still have them all left, it will be more valuable as a collector's item.
