Hi everyone, new joiner with my first b&o bit of kit (first paycheque out of uni well spent, i think 😂) after a hit and a miss on ebay.. 

Managed to get a Beomaster 5500 and  Beogram 5005 for relatively decent prices and i've noticed that there are a few things on my BM5500 that requires some attention. Here's what i've noted after investigation in the last couple of days:

1) Consistent humming when BM on stand-by (and when switched on)

2) High register noise from both speaker channels (volume of "hissing" increases with volume of the system) (note, I'm connecting my active speakers to the pre-amp outs)

3) Along side the "hissing" when volume of the system is turned up, I can hear from the speakers what I can only describe as the transmission signal when I switch through the functions. I.e. an audible "beep" when I press the CD / Aux / Phono button on my beolink 1000.

I did a fair bit of browsing in the forums and saw a post or two with similar problems as I've listed above, and with fixes which are certainly doable. Also read through a post by tournedos regarding how to do perform a service (
