Soundsmith obviously are already doing this and they are very good. Not cheap but modern cartridges are not!

At Billund airport on my way home from the conference and I can assure you all that there won't be a turntable added to the product portfolio...

Sad but not surprising...

I have a MMC cartridge manufactured by Soundsmith that I purchased about 5 years ago.  It has worked perfectly.  I would comment that the sound from the Soundsmith is somewhat brighter sounding than the original B&O cartridges but I like it.

I guess that ends the speculation.  I am looking forward to the new Beovision and I am also hoping for new loudspeakers.  Bang and Olufsen mainline products are not very exciting now.  I do have some interest in the Beosound 2 but am waiting for different colors.

I would have been very astonished, if there was.

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Struer.

You probably heard and saw a lot interesting stuff there, but your lips are tight - I understand ;-)

When will you (and the dealers) be able to reveal some of it?

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Yesterday, I spoke to a dealer who was at the conference. He said that there was no "official" announcement of a new turntable, however, it was discussed off the record that a turntable concept has indeed been in development. The new turntable has no official place in the timetable but is expected to happen.

Haha, it was a heavy few days Stuart...but enjoyable!  Some photos on my Instagram if anyone interested @nickhayes62. Apparently, there has been talk of rebadging a third party turntable, but nothing more. Which I guess might make sense as the cost to start up production on turntables would be crazy expensive considering the numbers that would be sold!?
