Thanks Peter :), I have already spoken with Martin(DIllen) regarding a cap kit - but I sould be looking at doing the varable resistors too yes? I'll have a look in the service manual to see how many there are, guess I should ask Martin if he does kits for these too! thanks, Adam

I have a question regarding the sound of a beomaster 8000. I recently bought one and intend to replace the capacitors in due course but have noticed a couple of thngs about the unit I have. The sound, whilst very dynamic, sounds just a little 'lacklustre' The beocenter 7007 that I also have has a much richer sound (with same source & speakers

Thanks everyone for the input! I am rather fond of the CDX having worked in a B&O dealer when it was launched. I know it's only 14bit, but I had a CD104 when they were around and it was surprisingly accomplished! I have an MF Nu-Vista 3D in my main system and Im not expecting it to compete with that ;-) Am I correct in assuming the CDX2 is a

Hi Peter, thanks for those wise words - think I'll check out a CDX. I am planing on replacing the caps in the 8000. Glad you think the Sonus will be a good match, although as I write this the 7007 isn't doing a bad job ;-) but the Signums will happily soak up any power thrown at them! The converter box you mention - if this enables it to work

I had thought of pentas. . .hmmm I wasn't thinking of using the CX50s with the 8000!, they would be for the 7007 - although I think I might get CX100s - I thought I would use the Sonus Fabers on the 8000 unless there is a reason not too ;-) I'll have a look for a CDX. Is there anyway to integrate (control) any B&O CD player with the 8000

Hi, I have recently aquired a beomaster 8000, 8002 and 9000 which I want to use as a system but it needs to live with my other B&O bits whcih include a beocenter 7007 and beosystem 6500. I have a good pair of speakers, Sonus Faber Signums, that at the moment I'm using with the Beomaster 6500 but it seems to run out of steam a bit! - my thought

Hello Chris, Thanks for the speedy reply :). I suspected that something along those lines would be the solution. Good to know that someone else has tried it too! Many thanks, Adam PS, Any thoughts on the remote?

Hello all, Wondered if anyone can help. I have a beogram 6500 which I bought second hand. It is in excellent condition but when I tried to use it it just shut down. Further investigation revealed that the 'wire' that pulls the arm assy along had come off and was floating around the interior! Looking into this further, it seems that the cable
