Chris:

Have just picked up a mint Beolab 2000, not relising it was masterlink! SO.

What the best way to connect this to our Beovision 7-40 mk3 in an adjacent room? Is their a radio/IR Masterlink or is it yet more cables?

Thanks, and even though it doesn't work and i have no clue to connect it, i'm sure i'll love it

You have to connect it using Masterlink. That´s the only way.

You will only be able to listen to the TV sound, obviously, since you do not have any Audio master.

I was under the impression that you could use the Beovision 7/Beolab 2000 as a remote CD player without requiring an audio master?

Yep, that works. Forgot the CD player . Sorry.

Still have to have the Masterlink cable.

Thanks for the replies. Have ordered a Masterlink cable, so await a kitchen full of sound

this morning i am collecting a pair of BeoCom 2 handsets , one in shiny aluminium and the other in shiny grey, and also a change of shell for my BeoLab 11.. shiny aluminium !

BeoFab:

I just bought the new Earset 3i, very impressed with the quality of the materials and the sound. I made a comparision between the 3i and the Apple headphones, not the ones that come with the iPod/iPhone but the ones in-ear which are supposedly better with better bass etc. Well it was as if I were comparing a Ferrari with a Yugo, no kidding. The 3is are really, really good specially in the vocals and mids, bass is not that bad either, but the clarity and separation is amazing. I must say that I had never owned a pair of A8s so for me was a whole new experience.

I had birthday this Tuesday, and my son (now earning his first own money) gave me a pair of Earset 3i. He knows exactly what daddy wants

Fully agree with your above review. They sound fantastic. Good demo track is Nils Lofgren´s "Keith don´t go", from his live album. Awesome accoustic guitar playing.

1x Beolab 5000 (2nd coming soon) and 3x Beomaster 5000.

The BL5000 (remove black paint) and BM5000 I had to clean...

 

Nothing as cool as a BL5000, but I was very pleased that when I put seven Energizer 357 watch batteries in my new Beomaster Control Module, it worked perfectly.

Why 7 instead of 1, Rich? I mean 1 original...

Well, actually that is rather brilliant!

The original is tough to find in the states, and expensive when you do!

I can get a (20) pack of these 357's on Amazon for $3.25USD!

Tip of the month -thanks Rich!

Stupid question maybe but how do you keep them all together? And how long does it last?

Give me a few minutes and I'll take a photo of the batteries inside the remote.  Just got back from IKEA where I found a turntable shelf solution.

The seven Energizer 357 watch batteries are just placed in series inside the battery compartment.  I just removed the four screws on the back of the remote, pulled the remote apart, and put the batteries in as shown one at a time.  Obviously you need to have all the positive terminals pointing in the same direction.

I suppose you could put some tape around the whole stack first.  I seem to remember reading that somewhere - probably here.

Be a bit careful putting the remote back together - the terminal leads are wide enough to be a very close fit.

As to how long does it last?  Just fired it up yesterday.  Will let you know when they die!

Jaff,

I find it not so hard to get some replacements here in Germany - and they aren't too expensive.

This is a "photo cell". In Germany you can get it e.g. here:

VARTA V74PX

Not intended to be an ad though - just to be aware of prices to expect... not related to them anyway.

Don't know about availability in the states

EDIT: What makes me wonder is that on my V74PX there's also printed 10LR54: That makes me curious as an LR54 is 11.5 x 3.1mm by dimension and 10 of them will make roughly the 32 x 14mm the 15V-unit is sized. Maybe that's nothing but Rich's solution in a professional housing

 That's really cheap Gunther,  not sure what shipping price will be to Holland. Bought one at Conrad last time.

I guess my latest purschase was this :-)

Anyone else who's got this?

 

 

Nice !

Never seen those before.

Are they one-offs, or are they unique to a country/market, or historical catalogue items ?

In short - I want some

elephant:

Never seen those before.

You should have, they have been a prize draw item not so long ago

Marcus:

You mean you got it as part of a good deal at the dealer or bought it? Looks great (not in my collection...... yet)

Marcus:

I love those. Would like to own a pair myself.

well no Prixe Draw complaints from me !

so I wonder if Struer has a gift shop ...

Hi!

 

Frankly speaking I don't know where they from :-)

I bought them a few days ago at a swedish webpage called tradera.se (like ebay). 

They costed me about 55€ but they were worth it, I love them already!

Just 20 items for sale on that site? You're a lucky man having these

If B&O visitor department is reading (of course they are) our threads, I think they will give these to all Beoworld registrated visitor, as number 5 on the waiting list, there is not much hope for you Leslie
