I've had a Bang and Olufsen Beomaster 3000 amplifier/tuner (circa 1977?) passed on to me. I'd like my iPod Touch (circa 2010!!) to run through this old amplifier in a sort of retro meets modernity manner. Is it possible to fashion these two pieces of technology together? If so, could somebody tell me how it can be done?
I know that the speakers are connected to the back of the amp via 2 pin connectors (one pin is spade shaped, the other pin is thin and round). There are six sockets available for speakers. The other main connectors for what would have been the turntable and tape decks in 1977 use quite 'chunky' 5 pin connectors. There are three of these sockets on the back of the amplifier.
Also on the back of the amplifier are yellow sockets in pairs (R and L). There are four pairs of these paired sockets.
If anyone could help me with this technical problem or even name the type of connectors I'm trying to describe, then it would be much appreciated. And should attempting to get a modern iPod Touch to play through an old B & O amplier/tuner simply be a pipe dream then please tell me.
Best Wishes,
