Hi,
The bump is normal. The relay is on the PSU rails, not the speakers.
Just waking up!
I did it again! A nice vintage B&O mp3 player this time, right for Christmas ?
How nice is that?
Thank you Bot (and staff ?).
And everyone do have a very happy Christmas ?
Okay then, I got my totally mint oak pair with stands for € 250. The price was fair, but I’ve seen them go for much less here in France.
Don’t expect too much. I’d keep them or give them away to someone dear.
Nice idea.
I think overhang is way off though, this can’t be quite right!
So it certainly looks pretty but technically it isn’t right by quite a margin.I had the same impression. A bit dull.
The tweeter output can be weak, but you can boost treble, as it’s adjustable. All the way up as far as I’m concerned.
Perhaps the tweeter goes bad, I don’t know, does it have ferrofluid?Bonjour Didier,
The magnet polarities are reversed, not electric polarities.
Always put marks before disassembly, to avoid that kind of mistake.
Classic!
Soundsmith, definitely AFAIC. That’s what I’ve been using for years. BUT the sound is brighter than any B&O cartridges, more up to date and CD-like.
I always steer clear of choosing different types of components and stick to what there was in the first place. For instance, no metal oxyde resistors if there were carbon ones, no film caps instead of electrolytics.
No surprises.
I restore things. I don’t claim to be able to upgrade them. I am not. If there was a TL072 then I’ll replace with a TL072, not a fancy audiophile op-amp that I know will bring nothing, or perhaps just trouble.
So whenever I restore a B&O device it will always be like for like.
Hi Bert,
Seriously how do you perceive Martin as being aggressive?
He’s one of the kindest and helpful people I have known since I registered here in 2009!
What he offers are just instructions and also some useful teaching. Does he really have to put a ‘please’ before every helpful instruction?

Where did you get that lovely Beo Hub board from?
I did have to replace a reed switch and a blown transistor on mine (TR6 I think?).
Odd.
Mine still runs on its original main caps too.
No hum anyway?I’d suspect a switch problem.
Trouble is, B&O regularly sent additions to their service manuals. Perhaps this mod was done after one of them, who knows.
Good!
