    Re: What Are You Working On Now ?

    Soren Mexico made me do it.

    Been sitting on a defective 2400 purchased on the cheap last summer. Finally got around to tearing it open and fixing it. Had to canabalize a donor unit for an LDR and the tone control/balace sliders wre intermittant in provideing good contact. Probably fixable but I was lazy and just harvested that whole board as well.

    Testing at low volume levels on FM5 dialed into NPR. Sounds wonderful.

    Fix your sliders and keep in stock, I may need some later on WinkBig Smile, I play my BM 2400 with my BG 2404 every day now, but my S45s needs new surrounds and are getting worse for wear now. Your working space looks like mine, I use Tupperware for the screws and odd pieces, then I can put a lid on them for storage.

    Re: What Are You Working On Now ?

    Listening to my rebuilt Beomaster 2400. My favorite of the flats. just a really nice smooth reciever. I have 2 that I have recapped and relamped in the last 6 months with one more to go.

    At the rate I am going I will have as many as Burantek once had in a few years.

     

    Pictured below is one of my favorite setups a BM 2400 BG 1700 BG CDX with a 3 input rca switchbox connected to the tape socket

     while I was listening to this I was busy putting together all this.

    I have a lot of work to do

    Re: What Are You Working On Now ?

    Finished the Arcam CD72 - sounds great!

    Finished the cap upgrade on the BC9300, now stuck on no audio AC output on the preamp PCB - see my other post.

    Hanging in there!

    Got to my BM 2400

    On the bottom left corner, is that a toroidal power supply?

    Re: What Are You Working On Now ?

    A toroidal transformer Evan, yes! Common in quite a bit of B&O stuff - I am sure more for it's dimensions than stability & regulation - strong points if you are wondering!.

    Olly.

    A toroidal transformer also has a much smaller stray magnetic field than a regular E core (dunno if that name is used in English). This could've been an issue in many B&O devices simply because they are so cramped - look at the 3000-4000 series Beomasters for example, they have the conventional transformer inside a separate metal enclosure. But I'm sure the deciding factor has simply been the physical size.

    Sorry for the sacrilege but I find this a good occasion to post this pic of my old Pioneer A-9 amp (1982 or so) I sold some years ago. With a max intake power of 820W, can you imagine how big and heavy it would've been with a regular transformer Smile

    BeoMaster 6500 has a motor inside for the cooling fan for the amplifierboard.

    I have never seen one in B&O before! I have one toroidal amp at home (Niles). All the people at my local hifi store say toroid is the bomb.

    Yes -  thumbs up

    Thats a doosey!! I am about to go install a cooling fan on my new Niles SI-275. Maybe I'll be able to snap a pic with the tin off Smile Its not exactly close to that Pioneer you have but still big!

    Re: What Are You Working On Now ?

    Good points tournedos. That is a heck of a beefy toroidal there!

    Oh I like the phrase E core - I think we normally just refer to them as transformers, laminated transformers if you want to sound knowledgeable :)

     

    BTW, I have always wondered how they make toroidal transformers... I am sure there is a simple way maybe like seamless shirts but it is one of those things that remain unanswered!!!

    Re: What Are You Working On Now ?

    My BeoMaster 3400 also has a toroidal transformer - I think that it's something to do with more oomph per cubic centimeter, than anything else. 

    And the flattish top-accessible units are squeezed for internal space, so a toroidal makes more sense.

    The SI-275 is downwind of the BM4500 via Powerlink and an adaptation from Steve @ Sounds Heavenly.

    Jeff, I figured by now you would have gotten yours all hooked up, have you? This amp is working hard for me, pushing 10 drivers with total ease. I'll get a review together asap!!
