Hi Peter, I really think this is a case of 'perceived value', much like the general forum threads about B&O modern equipments value... I for one know I have spent much in excess of what many others would for my 25 + year old system.... my original 6000 w 80.2 I spent around S$1750 (870 GBP) buying and shipping the system here... about another

Hi Kevin, I'm with John, I think the 6000 system is a excellent introduction.... This was my first piece of vintage B&O and I love it.... Also I made this decision after much research and consideration... Living half way around the world away from most of the vintage B&O I wanted to make the right decision...

Hi Fredrik, Impressive indeed... never knew you could do that get one or two PCB made like that, and drawn up by your own hand... real dedication to the restoration process ..... So I guess all is not lost if you want to commit to a complete rebuild of these wonderful machines if they have major issues like burnt out / ruined PCB's! As a novice

Hey Fredrik, Amazing job your doing there, never seen one stripped down like that .... OK, so, I have a question from a complete novice, I'm fascinated...how did you get new circuit boards to match the originals? Would have thought these were customised... but what do I know? She'll be a beauty when your finished ..... just like new literally

Thanks Graham, Must have read my mind..... Actually I sent him an email early this morning to just that! Awaiting his reply... Have purchased some speaker cables and another DIN / RCA cable from Steve and was extremely happy with the quality of products.... Thanks again. Laurence Edit: Hi Martin, point noted and bookmark duly deleted! Thanks for the

Thanks for the link Arned, will bookmark that, it looks like a good site and I'm sure will be of use in future.... unfortunately i can't see that they have what i want, but will contact them and see if they can help.... in the mean time, when I said phono cable, meant beogram specific, with 7 pin din plug connectors... so if anyone can help

Hi there, Looking for a datalink beogram (phono) cable to connect my new BG8002 to my BM6000... The one that came with the BG doesn't seem to work despite having it resoldered and tested.... Am hoping that just a new cable is needed... Currently using the RCA connection, would like to get the datalink working though... Will pay for cable and necessary

Wow Wow Wow.... This is Absolutely Fantastic! Twice in one year! First my BS6 and now this ... so good! Thank You! This wonderful surprise has come at just the right time, I think this shows a good change to my energy... been having a few things run off the rails last few weeks, so this definitely shows things have turned around and looking positive
