Hi Leslie, welcome to the party!
Those projects sound very interesting.. Especially the BeoLab. As for BGs - wouldn't you need a 1200?
Beo4 'til I die!
BG1200? Hmmmmmm, will check my closet, must have one somewhere. Attempting thing to do is make the wooden surround of the BM1200 in (Evan) white, not sure if that's wise to do to be honest! Let's see first if I can find the BG1200, if that's white decision is made. Yesterday I got an offer from Lee to participate on the Struer trip. Unfortunately I can't at these dates! That would have been a great chance to meet you and others in live....

Struer will be a party, wish I could make it with or without invitation, but mammon is king, would like o see how Evan receives his BM 4000.
The BG 1200 was, as far as I know never made in white, please don't, or special Evan Edit.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.

Yes, of course, my BeoSystem isn't white, its 'Evan.'

Even if you had made the trip, you wouldn't have been able to meet me. What I'm saying is that I gave up my spot on the trip. I just couldn't make it happen. With school, money and other commitments the way they are it just became too much of a stretch. When I entered the draw I had every intention of going, but then I switched schools and joined a racing team it became unfeasible.
I can't even begin to imagine how disappointed Gunther will be.

School first, all other things are second, B&O is hobby, PM Gunther, Racing team, I was doing some speedway in DK, late 1960s, Husquarna 250CC.
Sorry there is "white edition" go on with that, if the wood is ugly.
Stones Exit on Main Street has gone to an end, so have I, going to bed, see you tomo*, no today later, good night
Søren Mexico: Sorry there is "white edition" go on with that, if the wood is ugly.
Indeed, the 'Evan' treatment is more of a process to save a piece of equipment.
Our team races a Honda 600 - The Formula Buckeyes
Yes, I agree, its past 3am for me! Later.
Evan:I can't even begin to imagine how disappointed Gunther will be.
Yes, and especially this guy:
I hope we can manage this somehow in the future
Anyone else attending Struer who lives closer to Evan
I wish Soren would be but that's another dream....
Gunther
P.S. In younger days you have the dreams but not the money.
In older days you might have the money but can't make the dreams come true anymore
This saturday morning im listening to TOTO (Mindfields) on my Lab4000 Cona sub.It brings a smile on my face and the sun shines Lovely
/Uldall
It´s a lifestyle.
I don't get to meet Evan
And I don't get to me his stand-in Leslie
Hopefully there will be replacement who is also a stalwart
BeoNut since '75
Not everything Danish is about B&O...

Working through my latest used LP purchases from Deaf Ear Records of La Crosse, Wisconsin, following my monthly business trip to Wisconsin and Iowa.
Currently playing: Wings at the Speed of Sound
Already played: Robert Plant Now and Zen
Still to go: Bruce Hornsby and the Range The Way Is Is, Aerosmith Toys in the Attic, Firesign Theatre Don't Crush That Dwarf Hand Me the Pliers, Beatles Revolver, Jimmy Buffett Songs You Know By Heart, and David Gilmour's first solo LP.
One of the better and more varied of my hauls from Wisconsin. Incidentally, a used record that sells for $5 in La Crosse, Wisconsin, will go for $20 or $25 here in Orlando.
elephant: I don't get to meet Evan And I don't get to me his stand-in Leslie Hopefully there will be replacement who is also a stalwart
Yes, it is upsetting. I am pretty bummed about not getting to meet you and the others.
I'm sure our paths will cross someday and when they do, we will have a grand time.
Ok, on to happier thoughts now.. What's playing right now:
Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros - Up From Below
This was something from my discovery list I bought today while out shopping and I must advocate its place in your collection - just great.
And you know what makes it even better? Hearing it through a BM3000-2 with S45-2s!
Sorting done
Here
Now playing, and I found the same CD, tomorrow the big test, CD or LP.
Easter Sunday dinner ... so the Fabric Selector gets to pick David Hobson ... currently playing his Cinema Paradiso album
Update
Having played some 3 or so CDs of Hobbo, we have moved on to Katie Melua ... bliss
Hello all, this lovely easter monday im sitting in my office listening to Katie Melua, what a wonderfull woice.
Played on my office stereo (Lab4000 & Cona in quadro stereo my as my MX4200 plays along to)
Nice way to have a hangover
A new album?
Hello all this friday afternoon im listening to Chras Test Dummies (God shuffled his feet)
Have a good weekend all.
Pulling out a few duplicate LPs tonight for one last listen over the weekend. First up, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. This decent copy of Wish, along with the other duplicates, will be mailed to Evan on Monday for listening on his new (to him) BG 1202.
This copy of Wish was rendered redundant when I bought the rerelease earlier this year. No LP collection should be without this gem.

Agreed, here's to looking forward!
A 45 rpm / 17 cm record test. I picked up a handful on campus today at 10 cents each! The 1202 took a little warming up but once in gear and spun up it played 45's brilliantly.
So what's playing... Here we are at the end of a Sinatra 45 and I'm absolutely loving it!
Evan: So what's playing... Here we are at the end of a Sinatra 45 and I'm absolutely loving it!
By Wednesday, you should be able to spreed some purple smoke or say Hi to Joe., I want a deck like that, its just looking so nice
Søren Mexico:By Wednesday, you should be able to spreed some purple smoke or say Hi to Joe., I want a deck like that, its just looking so nice
Oh my goodness! Wednesday will have to come soon, I won't be able to sleep until then - so excited!!!!! You will want one even more once I stop taking pictures with my iPhone and instead a real DSLR cam. Next round of pics will be worthy of the 'Flash Your B&O' thread.
Evan:Next round of pics will be worthy of the 'Flash Your B&O' thread.
Did you open it for service, maintenance and adjustment. If not you will have to make a thread in the workbench
Todd:Hey Evan, what Sinatra song were you listening too?
There is only one Sinatra song for BeoWorlders ... in fact it could be our anthem ... "(I Did It) My Way"
Although I am partial to "It Was A Very Good Year", and I bet so are a few of us
tcprosper:Hey Evan, what Sinatra song were you listening too?
Just got an update, Jimi will arrive tomorrow

After I boxed up the five LPs to send you, I thought to myself, well, that was stupid! I should have thrown in a 45 as well! Glad to see you already have a 45 or three.
Box was mailed today. Postal clerk says Wednesday delivery.
