I still have my MK1 from 1996. I had the laser replaced in 2004, so still working well. It holds the only 6 CDs I still own, including the first CD I ever owned from 1984.

I bought an BS 9000 MK2 in 2018. It is in heavy use every day for radio and cd.
I use it with two Beolab 18. the aux input is connected with playmaker an there is my rega turntable.
All works fine and i am lucky.
The level of participation to this thread clearly shows how many hearts are still racing for this beautiful piece of art. BS9000, a true classic. 🙂Congrats to all the lucky owners! 🤒Olivier
My B&O Icons:
I've got one for a couple of days…
Found it cheap, bought it thinking to make a "coup".
I've been struggling to take it back from a certain death as the motor and wires making the sledge move were missing.
Luckily it has been all sorted out and now I just need to replace the laser (waiting the end of the coronavirus to order the part).
But the new issue is that even if I will, I dont really want to sell it. I would like to keep it even if I dont have the place to hang it (V wall bracket) or even have use of CD's anymore. But, as already said, it is just so iconic I dont really want to let it go. Even just as a display for the 6 last beautiful CD you may have keep, it shines. True B&O design in my opinion.

Boy, was I a dumb ass in 2005 when I sold it. I can get 3 used CDs for the price of one’s streaming in CD quality. Over the last week, I’ve been watching every Youtube video of a BS9000 even it’s a broken BS9000. Some mount motorbikes, Dutch masters, family portraits on their walls, well this is just as iconic and beautiful even when switched off. I now need to hunt down a pristine mk3. Has anyone bought the white version? I’d feel like a deceitful womaniser chasing after a white BS9000 and deserting the classic one.
Since I don't often listen to CDs in mine, I keep it loaded with a set of the B&O display discs that B&O used at the dealers. They're attractive, and contain quite a variety of music, which made them good store demo sources.
But it is to me truly iconic. I started off with BL8000s with it, but when we moved to a new house the living room was so huge they got lost in it, so now I use BL9s with it.

Would you mind to show us what it looks? 👍

Yes, photos please! Some BS9000 pornography please!!!Would you mind to show us what it looks?
I still have my BeoSound 9000 and use it for comparing different masterings of CDs. However, for day-to-day listening I use a Beogram CD 5500, as it's better sounding machine, even as a transport.
