Hi chaps, I've recently joined Beoworld & having read through some of the posts it looks like this group will be an excellent source of advice.  I have 2 questions:

1.I have a lovely 4500 which sounds great when the tracks are playing, but there's a metallic 'scraping' / rumble sound in between tracks - it's particularly noticeable when the volume's louder.  Whilst I'm not familiar with the internal workings of B&O turntables, to me it sounds as though it's related to the rotation of the platter.  I also have a 3300 & whilst I hear some crackle in between tracks from my old vinyl, it's nothing like the sound on the 4500.  I did read another post with reference to some scraping on a different model & wondered if it might be the same on my 4500.  Also, whether it can be resolved with an adjustment.

2. Bit of a 'numpty' question but the 4500 has a European 2 pin plug & I'd like to replace it with a UK 3 pin plug.  The flex will have 2 wires (live & neutral) but before I cut off the plug, what colours will be in the flex?  Will they be brown & blue as with UK?

Thanks & I look forward to having some replies.
