When I acquired my bm4500 it only came with two powerlink cables and its matching cd player (beogram CD 4500). So other than that I am completely at a loss for all other components, like the antennas. Does anyone know where I can get the FM antenna for my 4500? Is it even necessary to have the B&O antenna or can i just use a regular old antenna and hook it up? I ask that this because I heard somewhere that the antennas are powered and i didnt wanna go hooking up wires all willy nilly and screw someting up.

Thank you

any 'ol antenna should be fine -though i have had terks get me out of "faraday cage" situations -highly recommended.

I am new to the B&O scene, do you think you could elaborate?

sorry...

any 'ol antenna = your basic fm dipole - like this

terk = better reception - like this

many thanks. so i assume you prefer the terk?

Best FM aerial would be an external one and the powered B&O AM aerial is pretty good as well.

My neighborhood association wouldnt much appreciate the aesthetics of an aerial. I settled for the terk last night, very good reception. Thank you all for your advice.
