Beolab 9 interference

3 replies

Hello. 

I know this type of thing has been spoken about but I really haven't a clue. I had BL8000s which would have a slight hiss or sshhh noise. Today I upgraded to BL9s and the hiss is so loud that just listening on low volumes the noise is really loud. I'm using genuine B&O cables. Could it be my Beosound 9000 or is something else? People who come over notice immediately.

You need properly balanced powerlink cables made for ICEPower amps. The older ones for Beolab 8000 won’t do.

I thought I'd put the Mk3 cables but clearly not. 

Perfect now and the sound has improved a lot as well. More rounded sound. With the old cables I was getting a lot of high and lows... nothing in the middle.
