I had the pleasure of nipping round Andy's home in Citheroe last night, boy is Andy dedicated! I had the pleasure of listening to B&O i only dreamt of in my formative years. This included a bit of vinyl. A lovely demo of surround sound featuring Penta's at the front and 8000's at the rear, yes 8000's at the rear, and a Avant in the middle...awesome.

I'd just like to publically thank Andy for his hospitality...hope his house doesn't get burgled now!

Cheers mate

Pete

Maybe we should all pop round for a visit.

It sounds like Andy is fond of history - then he might - just might - not have any objections with regards to his home being called a 'museum' ...

Hey!!  What a pleasure it was having you round last night Pete.
A big thankyou for the (Longridge Extra Large) Hosten Pils too mate got one on the go now.
I am aware my home is slowly turning into a museum. I like to think I have the best set-up from the sixties with my Lab/Master/Vox 5000 and cubes, and also the best set-up from the nineties (Beosystem 7000, Pentalabs, 8000s and Avant.)
Still working on the seventies, eighties and noughties though!

No it was great, frantically looking for Hotel Californis CD,,obviously

Well after trying to meet the Clitheroe Kid on several occaisions this summer - I finally managed it last week.(along with herself of course!)

We spent a long time with this wonderful gent - he even provided cake!

As with all enthusiasts a case for me of too much info, not enough time!

Would need to go and camp on his patio to fully apprerciate all the kit etc - I was weell impressed with the computerised music storage playing system etc so much so that I am trying elsewhere on the site to acquire said Beoport etc.

The down side was the return to Nth Worcestershire - hit the M6 at Longridge m/way quiet - thought this is going to be breeze it was until the Thelwall Viaduct then 30 - 40 mph down to Keele services (I'm one of the naughty boys who accesses and exits the M6 at that point) - after that the breeze continued to home journey took about 4 hours should have been less than 3 - c'est la vie!

I realise we may have impinged on Andy's time on an afternoon off work for which we apologise but what a knowledgeable man!

A visit should be part of every Beophiles cloning/indoctrination

Maybe coach trips?

Seriously though a truly wonderful experience!

A word of caution Craig & other potential visitors. Clitheroe is only open 3 days per week. And to confuse matters, the actual days change every week without notice. It's what counts as excitement in Clitheroe!

scary : sounds almost like a scene from the new harry potter movie......................:-)

I don't know about Clitheroe, but I do agree about the chap living there : Andy's a nice guy [met him in holland a  few years back, without his museum ofcourse ;-]

 

Gosh!  How flattering!

Tony, it was a delight having you and Gayleen here. Mi casa es tu casa!

Peter and Keith are knowledgeable, I'm just good at blaggin'!

Spent the whole morning baking! Or did I nip to Tesco?  One or t' other!

No more than ten at a time please!

Good luck Tony. As I said before, in my opinion Beoport/Beolink PC2 is an unsung hero amongst B&O products.

Cheers for that Leon. The feeling is mutual, even though you made me look like a dwarf!

Spelling mistake corrected. Sorry!
