[quote user="Peter "] Do you mean the Beocord 9000? [/quote] Yes. [quote user="Peter "] If so, you need an amplifier. [/quote] What kind of amplifier would you recommend for BC 9000? Solid state or tube? I've seen a brand new tube amp made in Taiwan for around $250 from LA Audio. My use for BC 9000 would be primarily for recording

Well, now I am going to be a proud owner of BC 9000. What would be the most ideal speaker for BC 9000? 1. As a stand alone? To be used mostly for low volume in a small room? 2. With receiver? For low to medium volume in a small room? So far I like Beovox/BeoLab 3000, 4500, 5000 and Beovox RL series.

[quote user="Peter "] I almost always use TDK SA. Easy to obtain and very quiet. Some Maxell tapes have the reputation for being a bit abrasive. I have a few TDK MA-XG for special occasions!

[quote user="henrik"]Before buying _new_ tapes, google - I've heard that some of the tapes available today are of much worse quality than their older counterparts, but i don'r remember any details at the moment. [/quote] I've heard the same. At least one case, I think might be due to the use of ceramics? Ceramics are very heat

[quote user="Peter "] [quote user="RedGrant"] I heard that BC 8004 re winds slower than BC 9000. Is it true? [/quote] Not sure - both are quick but the 9000 has a clever trick in that it slows down as the tape is about to end to reduce the strain on the tape when it reaches the end.[/quote] Well, this is definitely a deal breaker

[quote user="Dillen"] Let me see if I get this right; You don't care much for cassettedecks, they are old fashioned. [/quote] Based on what I knew till very recently, no. [quote user="Dillen"] Still you would like to get the worlds best ever cassettedeck for playing your course tapes... [/quote] Indeed, yes, and I intend to edit

[quote user="Peter "] Couple of pointa - you cannot really hear above about 15kHz [/quote] Okay, then why BC 9000 and other Beo Audio equipments have wider frequencies than humans can hear? [quote user="Peter "] ....and the S/N ratio will be inferior to CD. [/quote] Personally, I think people in general make too much of supposedly

Hi, this is my first post, here. I looked at the specs and found out that BC 9000 has actually wider frequency response (at least for metal) than any of the Beo CD players! Does this mean metal tapes played at BC 9000 will have better sound quality than CD players? Also, BC 9000 has wider frequency spectrum than BM 8000, does this mean then if I use
