BeoGram TX 2 Bang & Olufsen

Just arrived is this simple Jacob Jensen designed TX2 for B&O. It's great when a table like this is still in mint condition. A pleasure to fire up and spin some tunes on, this linear tracker has a supremely quiet cuing mechanism. When cuing into single tracks you are aided by a guide light which projects for a few seconds and then shuts down. 
      

LED speed is displayed on the guide arm in red which is kind of cool. This particular one has the MMC (moving magnetic Coil cartridge) 4 which is a personal favorite on these tables. Spinning NeKo Case's Middle Cyclone in a clear vinyl pressing which I highly recommend. Just an old school, well written album. 

Bang & Olufsen iPhone App

Remember the Beovox and Beolab speakers from Bang & Olufsen?

New from the incredibly innovative Denmark made audio manufacturer is their BeoPlayer for the iPhone. With streaming radio of 128k and a selection of 20 genres (mostly from the UK & Denmark) this is one of the best radio apps out there. An upgrade is available for $14.99 which will give you 30,000 available selections. Simply browse and compose your favorites and you have enjoyable music on the go.

Not vintage, not superior sound but it is completely portable. Best of all the app is commercial free and includes the B&O Klassik clock which is quite cool as well.
