My 9000 has an 8-pin connector coming out to an 8-pin connection to the B&O amp. Is there a cable that goes from the 8-pin out to RCA in to an amp? Is there a way to do it? Thanks.

Hi Graham and Jeff,
Thanks for the recommendation! Beosound 9000 behaves strangely when used without B&O speakers connected (ie. when connected to an external power amplifier and passive speakers), as it refuses to respond to the remote control.
Hence I always add a free Powerlink Blanking Plug when a customer requests a Powerlink to Amplifier cable for use with a Beosound 9000 - this fits into the spare Powerlink socket to trick the 9000 into thinking that it still has Beolab speakers connected. The result is that the 9000 will then respond to remote control commands as normal.
I used to have a 9000 connected to a Quad 303 power amp and a pair of Royd Minstrel passive speakers using this arrangement, which gave a lovely sound. I personally feel that a hifi power amplifier and passive speakers can really sound good with a modern Beosound unit, giving all the practicality of a B&O system but with complete freedom to tailor the choice of speakers to your room.
Kind regards, Steve.
