It seems like the trigger is going on as soon as a line signal is received and turns itself off after 6 minutes with no signal.

I’ve always wonder why no “electronic Guru” ever made that kind of thing: a box that amplify audio signal enough to trigger a relay with a timed auto hold that could power up any Beolab from a line in signal.

I say this as an ignorant but theoretically it doesnt seems so from an outer world, no?

Even by retro engineering the RCA line in part of a Beolab 4/6/8 x1000.

Just a thought.

Like everybody in the world, I’m a customer.

But not a worker! Thank you for seeing the “hommage”. 😀

I am looking for a second cartridge to use while servicing the turntable. I don’t want to take the risk of something unexpectedly happening and damaging the MMC1.

More seriously, I understand the fear of damaging a so valuable cartridge. Really, I was there before.

But we’re not talking about a cheap thing that can easily be found in different qualities and price ranges.
Unless you’re (very) lucky, an MMC4 will cost, whatever the way you get it, around 200$/€.
It can be a broken MMC plus refurbishment, a refurbished MMC, a NOS one (beware of NOS), or even a useless one sold as good.

Refurbishing a Beogram is a long, careful, and meticulous process. When you’re there, taking in an out the cartridge for tests isn’t the big deal, moreover with an MMCx (compared with an MMCxx where your always afraid to break the bridge).

And if I’m not mistaken, there is plenty of work to do before even needing to plug-in the cartridge and when you need, then it’s just a matter of adjustments than can be done carefully.

Whatever the price of a cartridge, it may be better used in components or spare.

Even if an MMC1 is legendary, I reckon.

Thank you for pointing that, absolutely true, import duty are not their fault but true anyway, and 55$ shipping and packing? C’mon on…

Hi Guys,

I wanted to let you know that I’m still working on a way to publish the mesh “inside the B&O community”. If no success, STL’s will go to thingiverse.

In the meantime, you’ll find attached a little How-to with the plan for the top mask.

Regards.

Thank you Soren.

I would like to say that I, also like things to be 101% originals.

But the temptation, of having something close to, or just to try to mimic and maybe succeed, won.
The funny part is now it’s done I may soon revert to the original frets or even previous speakers.
I like the result, but for a so called “enthusiast” it will always see them as a fake thing, not 8000’s anymore and never 18’s. I had fun copying the fancy Beosystem 72-22 like for common people but I still see it as an experiment, and nothing more.
But to me it raised some questions, like the one you answered, that’s the fun of it.

Anyway, theses speakers are in my office, where I spend most of (99%) of the time seated in the same place. Will check about directivity.

Thanks for stopping by…

Hi Olivier.

Thank you, all you linked to worked and it was indeed an answer if I understood it well.
What I understood is:

• The effect of the grill may or may not be negligible.
• Speakers are tuned with the grill.
• If the grill has an effect, changing it may affect the rendering of the speaker.
• That change may (scientifically) or may not (perceptibly) obvious.
• I reckon for, say a level, it’s not important if you change the grill — fabric for wood or the other way around — aftersale.
• But for an high end speaker like the BL 50 or even 28, what happend when you change the original setup? Beliviing that client for them are “aware” of rendering.

Thanks again Olivier.

In terms of sound I would prefer a redline 140 speaker over a pair of 8000 any day.

I never listen to Redlines, but the Beolabs have replaced a pair of P50 who already had replaced S45’s, so I know what you mean and I’m… Not happy!

(Well, in fact I’m slowly getting use to them, I cranked up the bass a bit in the playmaker and compensate the mids and highs wit a pair od C40 in the rear, I start to like them)

Hi guys,

Thank you all or your interest.

As suggested by a member I’ll upload the file to thingiverse or similar platform for public access. I’ll also try to contact Christian Leicht who as a portal with printable B&O parts.

Will do it in the next days, along with a quick notice for assembly.

[matador]

Message sent to both of you.

I dont know waht a PM is?

[matador]

Could anybody make a quick recap of the different headphones and their differences?

I can’t see clearly in the lineup and struggle to understand the difference between an HX and a Portal. I mean, I know one is intend for music and the other for games but what does it mean in real life if you listen to music with a Portal or watch TV with an HX?

In the case of the H95, I believe it’s all about finishing and sound quality certainly above the average lineup but even that I’m not sure.

A pensum would help, Thanks in advance.

Hi Guy,

I’m afraid I can’t help, I have no spare screen, all the faulty I have are mounted on remotes.

[matador]

@Stereomensch: Yes! And the fir is perfect to tint.

# Spassmaker: of course. I just dont know how to add an stl file to a post.

Hi,

I can’t say if its related to MK’s but early BS3000 have small clamper and later, big clamper.

For the features I can’t say either, sorry.

[matador]

Hi Steve,

That is the kind of partnership I was referring to. I should have mentioned it.

Sorry and thank you for your continuous help and support.
