  • Re: On-Line Pre-Owned B&O Dealers

    Have just taken delivery of a wall bracket for a BC1 from Lifestyle. It was sold as used but looks new to me. Came with a couple of B&O freebies. Fantastic service! Vikinguk

  • Turntable belts

    Is there a specification for B&O turntable belts? I have a 1203 Beogram that's running fine at present, but I know that every so often the belt gets fatigued and has to be replaced. I think the last time I did it was through trial and error looking for something compatible from another maker. Incidentally, in the lifetime of this turntable I've

    A correction! My email to Morethan AV from 19th April apparently failed in its transmission and I didn't notice the related ISP warning. So apologies to Morethan AV! (Collecting BC1 Sunday. Unfortunately its a 500 mile round trip! Mustn't forget the Allen key so that I can get it off the stand and into the car!) Vikinguk

  • Re: flatscreen televisions ver picturetube televisions picture quality

    Visitors invariably mistake my 32 DVD Avant for a high definition TV LCD/ Plasma lets you go to larger screens with HD output keeping similar quality, but size for size you can't beat the B&O CRT. LCDs can't cope with fast movement quite as well. It'll be interesting to compare all with the new generation of LED TVs like the Samsung

  • Re: Does vintage B&O sound better?

    I still use a Beomaster 1200 with Beovox 2600 speakers. After 35 years +(!) the sound quality is still superb. A couple of minor niggles: the volume control slides can cause crackle or even loss of sound on one speaker if they're not regularly slid back and forth. One of the wavelength lights has failed, and if I listen vey carefully there is a

  • Re: Share Price & prospects for B&O

    As expressed in another thread, this has got to be the best time for Apple to buy-out B&O and to use the B&O design expertise and retail network. It's got to be likely that someone will buy B&O and move production to a cheaper mass-produced base. Better that it happened with Apple!

  • Share Price & prospects for B&O

    B&O shares traded at around €100 for a long time 2006-7 then they dropped to around €10 at the beginning of April 09 and are now at €5. What does this say about the prospects for B&O. Are B&O owners so impressed with their equipment that they are also rushing in to buy the shares at these bargain prices, or do they share the

  • Re: BeoGram 1203 problem. edited post, new problems ;)

    Here's my take on the 1203. I bought one new, with speakers and an amp tuner, at a discount, from Beaver Radio Liverpool, some time in the 70's just when Beaver were ending their B&O franchise. Soon found that it wouldn't quite finish playing a record, and of more concern, had a tendency to snatch the stylus across the tracks before
