Ciao Anzi Mio Italiano e cattivo! So I will reply in Italian. I am in the UK at the moment but return to Alberobello in November for the olive harvest. Thank you for the suggestion which I will try when I am there. In fact someone else suggested similar and recommended unplugging the speakers and plug in headphones - if this solves the problem then

Everytime I push the volume past 4 on my Beocenter 7002 after about 5-10 seconds it goes into standby. It does this on all inputs and even tried switching to speakers B but it still did it. Can anyone help this ageing rock chick whose hearing is going and volume four is no longer loud enough!!! Lizzy x

Hi Having just discovered this forum and although I am technically ignorant, I really want to get the best out of my system - it is such a work of art, it deserves to be looked after! So here goes I have a crackling S80 with my Beocenter 7002. Switched over speaker leads and channels and it is definitely the speaker. It occurs more in the bass range

Thank you so much Andrew. Option 1 sounds good and Hubby is getting local guy to make the lead - (support the small businesses rather than the large!)

Ciao a tutti from sunny Puglia (Italia) Just joined this forum and I am a complete newbie to the world of B & 0 and I am not technical at all, so be gentle! Have just restored an ancient stone house in southern Italy and rather than instal modern I decided a vintage hi fi was the best way to go, so aquired a Beocenter 7002. Now my vinyl collection
