Wanted: Beocord 9000
in Wanted · Feb 17, 2026 21:56I'm looking for a Beocord 9000 in working order and good cosmetic condition. Must be reliable and (unlike my much-loved but unreliable Beocord 5000 Type 4705) not prone to chewing tapes, as I have some very cassettes. Do…
Problem with BL50 at 24 bits/192 kHz bitrate on coaxial input
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 29, 2025 21:46The length of the S/PDIF cable may be the issue here. Some streamers will not output at 192/24 over a long S/PDIF cable as I discovered when trying out different models with my BeoLab 90s. I started out with an Auralic A…
BL50 Coaxial input
in BeoLab · Oct 14, 2023 18:43How long is your S/PDIF cable? Some streamers will not output at 192/24 over longer cables, though most will.
BeoVision 4-103/BeoLab 10 problem
in BeoLab · Aug 31, 2023 07:07When I turned my TV on this evening (with the number of speakers preset to five for video and two for audio, as always) no sound was produced from my centre speaker (BeoLab 10). In the “sound” menu, the centre speaker is…

Beolab 90 - interested in purchase, questions and any owners here?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 3, 2022 18:45[quote user="sirjohn"] hi The Beolab 90 has so much computing power with that much electronics the probability of failure is high. My beolap 90 has developed a click on the master speaker almost a click per second. Bang …
Picture problems with BeoVision 4-65
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 27, 2022 20:07Thanks, Ravsted. As far as I'm aware, it feeds both BeoSystem 3s and both screens via HDMI. My dealer and I will definitely look into the splitters when he comes round.
Picture problems with BeoVision 4-65
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 27, 2022 14:25My 14-year-old BeoVision 4-65 (used as my bedroom TV with a BeoSystem 3 and BeoLab 14) has started developing picture problems in the last few days. Sometimes green horizontal lines will appear across the screen before t…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2022 18:48Thanks for the feedback, @Michael Kjaer. I've now updated my BL90s based on your post.
BL90 Update woes?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 12, 2021 15:46I asked my dealer to send me 3.1.0.1001 via WeTransfer when it came out. I installed it via USB sticks and then rolled my Lab 90s back to 3.0.0.616 when a couple of its behaviours annoyed me. I left my Lab 50s on 3.1.0.1…
BL90 Update woes?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 10, 2021 17:043.1.0.1001 has been out since June. The latest version is 3.1.0.1075, which I have already installed on my BeoLab 50s (though not on my 90s, which I have kept on 3.0.0.616 due to some odd behaviours in 3.1.0.1001).
Recommendations for a B&O CD solution?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 10, 2021 16:14The best CD player B&O ever made was the Beogram CD 5500: this is identical to the later CD 6500 and CD 7000, but the 5500 uniquely employs a more sophisticated (and expensive) brushless spindle motor. As for the most re…
Beolab 50 firmware update June 2021
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 19, 2021 22:34I've noticed that my BeoLab 50s have updated themselves to another new firmware version – 3.1.0.1075. My Lab 90s are not set to update automatically due to the bugs I discovered in 3.1.0.1001 and have been rolled back to…
Beolab 50 firmware update June 2021
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 19, 2021 13:58I've now updated my Lab 90s and 50s to the new software. One disconcerting feature is that the white light on the rear of the master Lab 90 now flashes whenever it is playing, just as it did last year when I had constant…
Beolab 50 firmware update June 2021
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 12, 2021 14:45No sign of the update here for either my Lab 90s or 50s (as I assume the new firmware applies to both). The one change I'd like in a new version is to increase the maximum time-out for the USB Audio input from 60 seconds…
The streamer B&O should draw inspiration from
in General Discussion & Questions · May 25, 2021 14:08Thanks for a very enlightening answer. I'm currently using an Auralic Aries Femto directly into the BL90, but will probably upgrade when they launch the G3. (I tested a G2.1 and it was a significant improvement, but as i…
The streamer B&O should draw inspiration from
in General Discussion & Questions · May 25, 2021 13:03Also very interesting, @Sandy B. I've always been cautious about introducing extra steps into the chain (i.e. two DACs) and wonder whether there is any point in clocking an Auralic or dCS stack as the Lab 90s/50s reclock…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 25, 2021 12:37Very interesting, @Mr 10Percent. I have the BeoLab 90s and am heading down the same route. I have a couple of questions for you. You said you have the full Auralic stack, presumably including the DAC. Do you find this gi…
Beolab 28
in General Discussion & Questions · May 8, 2021 15:11Funnily enough, somebody I know who auditioned the BL28 – and didn't buy it – also described the woofer as a "dog bowl". I haven't seen or heard it so I'll reserve judgment, but it's not a product I'd need anyway.
