Beogram CD 3500 thoughts

Owner of a new to me today cd3500, Lovin' it so far, connected digitally to my amp, and sounding good. Anyone else running an old machine like this.
Hi Wibb, Indeed I have the complete 3500 Beosystem. It's a classic understated B&O design and personally I favour this version to the shiny Beosystem 4500 which shares the same chassis and most functionality. When I used to use the digital output of my old Beogram CD 3500 into a 5.1 receiver the sound would sometimes cut out part way through playing a cd. I hope yours doesn't misbehave in the same way.

Hi Julian, yes hopefully it doesn't do that, so far so good, it's the first B&O unit I've ever owned, I love vintage gear.
