Hello guys!
I think that we should continue with this thread in the new forum, thinking that it is a nice addition to have a look at other users' systems and be inspirated or impressed by them
I will post pictures tomorrow, as I will be collecting a little surprise!
Please elaborate, no system is too small!
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.

Here is my latest pride, my refurbished BM 4000, look at the wonderful wood grain and and all perspex there and without "yellowing"
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Awesome looking rosewood indeed!
It's not authentic B&O, but this is my new and improved reproduction 2500 cube tweeter.
Beo4 'til I die!

Such a nice design will go with any B&O equipment, but why not in white
How do I post pictures now, did about thousands here and now I can't manage to do one!

chartz:Leslie, either from site or from URL works fine for me. What is your issue?
I know but "site" doesn't do anything and URL? Is that a link to where? Normally I could go to my PC and browse to the proper path where I store all my pictures. What am I doing wrong...
Edit (works now): Thought I was an expert here posting pictures
Well Leslie, I could never do that!
I can either;
- upload on the site and use that,
- take the pictures on my personal "chartz" web server (URL option).
Have two options whenever I click on "Insert media" icon.
Leslie Nelwan's files and Media. On both I see "There are no items at this level in the list"
What's the next step beside the other URL option which I don't understand?
You have to unroll the menu by clicking the little arrow down!
See my screen capture above.
Did that but still the same...
Leslie Nelwan: Did that but still the same...
Then click on Leslie Nelwan's files, the one below...
Could it be that your avatar name has a space?

Changed my Avatars name back to as it was. Will wait and let's see if that's the cause..
Nope, doesn't help either. Forgot to upload pictures in "Leslie's" members name, made a folder and placed some pictures in it! Still not working, oh man.....
Works now, finally! Had to click on all those small arrows, now I'm a full member again
Testing, testing....
My new non B&O glasspanels with chamfered edges.
Already told in the old forum but here it is again.
Left original, right newly made!
Beautiful, and well done!
And I like Toto as well!
From my new house...
Everything is connected with the new CAT7 cable and of course this is controlled by a MasterLink Gateway together with Elko Living System (In Denmark this is almost the same as LK).
Amazing !
And only one remote ? The Beo4 ?
I thought we should have a BeoSystem 3 to control the cinema screen, the light, ...
You can do it with the BeoVision 8 and Masterlink Gateway ?

If all goes well,here should comes a pair of pics of my setup.
A Beomaster 6000 with silver buttons or a Beocord 8000 with a fake cooler box?
Beocord 8004 with Beomaster 6000 cooler box
To spezializten. That looks a lot like my wood stove below. What kind is yours?
BeoLab 5, BeoVision 7-55 MK2, BeoSound 5 Encore, BeoSound 9000, BeoLab Penta III, BeoLab 8000, BeoLab 6000, BeoLab 2, BeoLab 7-6, BeoSound 8, BeoTime (analog clock), Beo 4 remote.
It's cool to see more Beosystem 8000 fans! I like that the different layouts and furniture choices can make such a big difference in appearance of those components!
And now for the surprise!
I have found my way to a Beomaster 6000 4 channel (a very early example!), restored by my B&O technician. I drove it home this night, have turned it on after warming up from an 189 km driving trip on the highway.
I was smiling like a child on Christmas Eve during the whole trip!
Looks great! No fingerprints on the alum. buttons? Where's the remote?
Can have one myself (remote incl.) but it has some prints on the buttons.
No fingerprints, but some dents that have been straightened out so they are only visible as a couple of scratches. No remote unfortunately, but will experiment to see if the Beomaster 2400 remote works. Otherwise I would try to make it work
It also has a small crack in the top right corner (many of them have because of heavy things stacked on top on it), but nothing of significance. All capacitors was changed, drive motor and clutches were pulled apart and lubricated, light bulbs changed and dents straightened out.
This is in fact my second 6000 4 channel, I got the first one for free and sold quickly again for a good price because I didn't knew a technician that would touch it at the time!
Søren Mexico:Such a nice design will go with any B&O equipment, but why not in white
Brilliant things indeed, Søren.
There were a couple factors in the color choice. First, the only original color was black and I wanted to keep the general look original. Secondly, they are intended to sit on top of my black-fret JBL towers and I wanted them to match. If JBL didn't stop production on replacement frets for my speaker, I would have converted a second set to white and my 2500s would have likely been white as well. But, I don't plan on stopping at just one set so keep your eyes out for white ones!
Now you need the Beocord Søren!
Good luck!
chartz: Now you need the Beocord Søren! Good luck!
I have found two that works for at very good price, but they are just too far away!

Frederik Seeberg: Welcome to my appartment Seeberg
That is stunning! I love white Beo....
A quick look of my BeoSound 5 in action with BeoLab 4.
Sorry for the bad quality, my camera is an iPhone !
I'm planning to upgrade to BeoLab 3...
This is what happens when you don't behave and your best buddy gets sent of to the service shop, you get to stand in the corner and the older boys take your place!
Oh my gosh, Tomas! You have some fine speakers there sir! The BeoLabs better quit acting up
That is awesome, Frederik, Steph and Thomas!
