Steve from Sounds Heavenly travels to The Netherlands to find Bang & Olufsen's rarest and most exclusive product, so that you can hear it playing! With thanks to Harrie van Dam from B&O Rotterdam/Houten. You can experience Beosystem 72-23 for yourself by arrangement with Harrie at B&O Houten, Netherlands. The Beogram 4000c cables mentioned in the video can be seen on Steve's website at soundsheavenly.com
Just as i thought that NOTHING would be more beautiful than my Beogram 4002, with my BM4400. This is absolutly amazing. Beautiful craftmanship, and design. Amazing attention for details!
Yes, B&O have really excelled themselves here, this is a superbly designed system. It is an honour for me to be able to provide a very small part of this music system by building the connecting cable for the Beogram.
@@soundsheavenly i dont think you should underestimate, your own part in this. B&O only chooses the best supplyers for projects like this, and your expertice is not to be undervalued. You help thousands of people world wide, with connecting all those classics every day, and i (amongst MANY others) have never ordered a bad product, without superb customer service, from you. So your contribution is greatly valued by many, including Bang & Olufsen in Struer. 👍
I use Beogram 1700 which is stylish but no comparable. And my opinion about B&O gramo technic is superb. Some only admire the style. What I observe is perfect stability of revs which is controlled up to braking force of needle within piece of second. I never missed any strobo visual unit with manual correction seen in other turnatables . It has ideal antiskating which is hidden for user therefore some may prefer such fancy with all the bearings on top I have feeling like my LPs thanks to 1 gramm tracking stopped degrade. I have no issues with base vibrations and I can listen to very low range fequencies without problems - never needed rumble filtering. - the suspension and balance is so good that even with brushing LP during reproduction do not skip. My coleges need to care for many things - I for 10 years only clean LPs and tip and quality is better than in radio transmission.
Hey B&O Friends…nice video. Our 1800 is packed away…patiently waiting for a new cart. We’ll get her running again in the fall. Super neat unit. Coolest feature is 45 adapter. It pops-up and gives the record a quick spin, then back down and the arm comes over…Fully automatic fun! 🍻
I always liked B and O, and ran a phono cartridge of theirs that was outstanding. Regrettably, their choice of distribution in the US makes for expensive prices. The cartridge I had , an east coast B and O American retailer said I got it for lower than was possible for him to buy from the factory. The only B and O system I have heard was in a nice big modern room, using those thin pole speakers and a vertical high style rotary CD changer . The guy was kind enough to play it for me, and I could tell he enjoyed showing it off, mentioning the high price as some people on the hill like to do. I thought my less costly system at home , a 125 watt marantz receiver , JBL L65's , AR eb101 turntable with shure V15 , put his system to shame, but I didn't tell him that, and let him have his fun. I attribute the ass kicking to a more powerful amp, but I am also pretty sure his stuff couldn't touch the JBL driver quality, even though he had the more scientific driver cabinet.
The great thing about playing music is that we can each find the system that best suits our own ears, budget and musical tastes. Both B&O and the other brands you mentioned produce some great products, each of which will have their strengths and weaknesses. If you find a system that sounds good in your home for your music, then I suggest there is no need to upgrade! Enjoy your music and thanks for watching!
It is a big challenge to make assumption about top system sounding with less than few hours and it requires very different kinds of tracks . For example I listen to my TV (B&O) not through it's own audio which is not there at all but I connected it to my own system of Uher Hi FI Din 4500 speakers , Uher preamp, and Dutch made Arena vinatge ampliture with germanium end transistors equipped with good loudness correction. Which is up to me is as good as hard imagine,. . While I listen to normal programs when there is no quality music material it sounds just as every good TV should . Because for movies and news it will not show any amazing sounding. Listener is suddenly surprised when programm is switched to channel devoted exlusively for music or even better when there is music for ads. . - It is like listening to different set 3 shelves higher. ., . For that reason such top systems are never boring to listen but they are hard to assume in short time.
It's interesting how wood has come full circle with BO and is now a key featured premium material. I wonder if this will become a new trend with other premium industrial design
The record player is very nice - not convinced about colour choices but certainly striking. Equally the speakers are stunning. The cabinet is fine but I could not believe it when you opened the door to see Ikea hinges. B&O cabinet making previously has been top drawer and I would imagine the past generations being aghast at this. I do have a few 400x turntables and the one being used at present is on a Beosystem 2400 stand. Still looks great and no Ikea bits. I have collected B&O for years and the selling features have always been styling and good audio quality with good ergonomics. In my view, they have lost their way. Voice control should be present and the doors on this device would have been considerably more special, for instance, they had been made of the same wood but as tambour doors as on the Beovision 3000. You could still have the logo but use touch sensitive aluminium like the Beocenter 2 and open the doors with a touch. Re-instill the magic. It could be made to echo the moving frets of the Beolab 28s. If you could afford the 4000c , Core and BL28s, the cabinet would not be an issue.
Thanks, I appreciate that there is always room for further improvement, but when you see this in person it is clearly in a different league to Ikea in terms of materials and build quality. I would also love to see the tambour doors used again in a new B&O product, that would be very nice!
@@soundsheavenly I like the wood - it is merely the hinges - it would annoy me every time I opened the cupboard. I do enjoy your videos and you do get to some interesting places. Afraid I am still stuck liking the old equipment though confess that most is now connected to Amazon Echo Dots so you can control the music with your voice. Did have a Moment but literally went up in smoke this week!
@@-triumphgt667 Thanks, I know what you mean about the hinges. I love travelling and I love B&O (old and new) so my job is the best one in the world as it allows me to enjoy both these things! Plenty more videos coming soon...
Very nice video. Your amazement came through :) Insane system altogether. I just wish B&O would start to manufacture a new Beogram similar to the 4000.... I guess the stylus on the Beosystem 72-23 is a refurbished original stylus?
Thanks, I really enjoyed making this video! The stylus is a brand new model from Sound Smith in the US. I use their styli on my Beograms at home and I have been very impressed with the results
Everything about this is perfect. As this is a beosystem it’s meant to be a set I’m assuming? Will they have plans on selling the turntable on its own ever
Yes, this is an amazing system. B&O do sell the turntable separately as Beogram 4000c, or your existing Beogram 4002, 4004 or 6000 can be refurbished by B&O to the same "as new" specifications as the one shown here. I suggest speaking to your local B&O dealer to find out the options available.
What a magnificent system Thanks for sharing It begs few questions: Does the TT have its own phono preamp or were we listening through an external phono preamp and what is it then? What amplifier was used to drive the speakers ? Did they make a matching amplifier ? Many thanks
Thanks, glad you liked it. Yes, the Beogram has an internal pre-amp fitted by B&O, this plays to the active Beolab 28 speakers via the Beosound Core streamer. Each driver in the speakers has its own dedicated power amplifier for the best possible sound.
Wowsers Sir - that is completely awesome - what a find - in other news I may be asking you to make me some cables - I now have the absolutely awesome and totally legendary Beolab 5 matched with the Cambridge Edge NQ Streamer paired with Deezer Hi-Fi - with all this in mind I am in dire need of some hi end cables XLR to Phono 5 metres each length - can you help me out? - I can buy the bits and bobs and get them to you if it helps assuming better material in the cable matters? - I have your website already - I'm based in Gloucestershire
Hi mabye you can help me? I'm in need for some speakers for my living room, want a nice surround sound to my television-experience, and also something that looks pretty decent aswell. I've been looking at 2x beolab 8000/8002 in the front, and 2x beolab 4000 in the back, how does that perform in today's day and age?
Hi, these are great speakers but you need to hear them for yourself and make your own decision. I can’t tell you what to buy but I can help you to connect them once you have made your decision
Halo £700 , 28s £11 -12 k , Core £700 , used 4000 with a view to complete refurbishment £4k = £17,400 plus you could commission a specialist carpenter a real high end specialist to create a bespoke cabinet …… The price is highly inflated . What it is is unique and most importantly a collectors item due to the scarcity of the system only 100 have been manufactured? I believe if this system was put into mass production or at least as mainstream as BnO go the price would be radically lower . The type of people who will buy these systems will not be perturbed by outlaying 25 or 30 k over the physical value of the product. This is a unique or elitist status symbol for those with more money than sense . It’s also the most beautiful HIFI system I’ve ever seen !
Yes, this is a rare and unique item for high-end collectors, rather than being a mass-market item. However, it is beautiful and bold, a real statement piece that would look and sound amazing in a luxury home!
@@soundsheavenly that’s the point of its manufacture Steve people with ridiculous amounts of income will purchase this beautiful piece. It’s the most beautiful system I have ever seen it’s astoundingly, jaw droppingly handsome !!! I Would wear white gloves using it !!!!!!!! As I said if it was in full production you’d expect the figures i mentioned above , maybe a couple of thousand for the cabinet or three max ……..but it’s a collectors piece . Not something I really agree with , as much as I appreciate the undeniably beauty of Bang and Olufsen aesthetics which is important when avoiding ugly coffin speakers and black boxes , the sonics are always the ultimate want . I simply love the BnO sound , not tiring or harsh and as smooth as a chilled pint of dark ale on a hot day !!!!!! But yes this one is for Dudes with dosh 💰 as beautiful as it is it’s sonic capabilities do not match it’s price which is contrary to what some who do not understand BnO . I think BnO due to sonic capabilities, longevity of the product, unsurpassed build quality and frighteningly brilliant design offer in relative terms most certainly, value for money .
@@soundsheavenly have finally been able to watch this. I have got a very sweet spot for both last year’s 72-22 and this year’s 72-23. Both absolutely stunning! I wonder if it is calculated so that there might be a 72-24 with 50s next year and in 2025 for their anniversary with the 90s. Either way the idea of a pair or current Beolabs, that gorgeous 4000c, even the cabinet with the records and the record box, and not to forget the Halo. It is an experience «like no one else». Quintessential B&O. This setup I’d take in a heartbeat as my only B&O system. Music has always meant so much to me, and this is simply magic. Thank you for showing us. Harry is also a true advocate of the brand!
Thanks, these are amazing products and Harrie is the perfect person to demonstrate he has such a great passion for the brand. I’m so glad that I could meet Harrie and experience this brilliant setup!
Price is a subjective thing. We seem quiet happy to blow £50,000 on a new BMW or similar which sits on the drive for 95% of the time so why not invest in audio kit which you will enjoy for much longer without loosing half your money in the first year…
Exactly 👍 Having one of the worlds best music systems is a luxury, but one you can use every day for decades. That makes it much better value in my view
Yeess..! As a long term B&O owner and fanatic, since 1991 to be precise, it really REALLY pisses me off that this was not made available in Australia. Our pathetic representation of Bang & Olufsen were not even interested in talking to me about it. All that's needed now is to make this turntable a part of their main line-up of products and add back in a CD player. This fixation on wireless and streaming is going to end up killing the company. Not only is streaming God awful in its sound reproduction, it is hugely unreliable and highly politically manipulated.
Just when I thought they’d finally placate my desire for a decent Beosound streaming box, this is what they put their resources into. Total waste of time and money.
Of course a beautiful product, just like the Beosound 9000c, but not relevant and inaccessible for the 'ordinary' B&O customer. I would say produce something, for example a record player that is for sale to everyone. And I would be in favor of setting up a service center to repair and maintain older equipment.

My 4000 is 50 years old. Just refurbished. Jewel in the crown of my B and O collection.

Was unaware of these special kits B&O puts together ... bravo on the review!
Thank you, my aim is to share the best that B&O has to offer, especially rare and unusual items!
Had Harrie a few times on the phone. Nice to see him in person!
Yes, Harrie is a great guy and he knows lots about B&O 👍🏻
Love the color on it !
Yes, this looks amazing in real life, really bold
Amazing video Steve!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I certainly enjoyed making it!
Wow very nice unit B&O should release the classic icon beolab 5 and dressed same colour tone with Beogram 4002 that will be fantastic
That would be cool, what a great idea!
It's interesting how wood has come full circle with BO and is now a key featured premium material. I wonder if this will become a new trend with other premium industrial design
Yes, B&O have a real skill with wood and it is great to see this displayed in their flagship products
And also they can make cable can using the existing master link system so it can use on old system and new as well
Yes, I can help with cables for new and old B&O 👍🏻
