Help rationalising current Beolab set-up/Dream speaker set-up?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 12, 2025 21:24The BL 8000 require maintenance, especially if mk1. The foam will melt and land on the electronics and good-bye 8000s. Preventive maintenance is to replace the foam before it kills. Once upon a time I tried connecting my…
An Owner's Guide To Bang & Olufsen - A Great Find!
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2025 04:55I wonder how Jens Bang may be related to Peter Bang. An interesting feature of the tuner on the BM8000 is its ability to follow the FM signal as it naturally drifts around its standard frequency. I wonder if all FM tuner…

A visit at the B&O NYC store…..video
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 24, 2024 02:25It's always a pleasure to see the B&O stores in NYC, Barcelona, Paris or London. That's where you can see a product properly exhibited and catered to HNWI, and where it can be sold. The problem is that I don't think it i…
ASE products, can they share their sources?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 20, 2024 20:20This, is, however, my workaround: 1. Attach a streamer to ML/NL converter. Have the ML/NL converter on Aux-In autoplay. I use a $99 Wiim Mini. 2. AirPlay to that streamer. 3. Sound starts playing on the BL6000's I have d…
File sorting in Beosound/Beomaster 5
in BeoSound · Nov 18, 2024 16:11Looking at my BS5's small library, all albums that start with the article "The" are alphabetically classified under the 1st letter of the second word. And so "The Soul Cages" appears under "S", for example.

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 18, 2024 16:02Clearly he gets on loan the new B&O equipment he reviews. That said, like he explains on the video, que has personally made very modest purchases of older B&O.
A. Robinson review of the Beolab 8
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 18, 2024 04:45This is one of the vanishingly few mid-scale (400k subscribers) YouTube hi-fi reviewers who not only covers B&O products, but is actually a fan. I found the review frank and interesting. I was surprised at his comments r…
Besound 5 ist not working
in Nordic · Oct 28, 2024 02:03I concur. Following a restart, something —anything— should be displayed on BS5. If it doesn't, the next step is to connect a monitor, mouse and keyboard to the BM5 and see if anything shows up. If it does, the problem ma…

in BeoApp · Oct 9, 2024 16:42I can confirm Rolf's post «In the old BeoMusic App the BV 10 is displayed as an icon. In the new app this functionality seems to be no longer active, as I, as well, get only the BLC on display». I only started using the …

How to give a logo to Beoplay Remote for Mac
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 30, 2024 00:37While it is not perfect, I find Beoplay Remote to be a useful program on my Mac. TLK, its creator, did not find it necessary to give it a logo, but on Mac it is easy to assign a logo to an app. I followed these instructi…
Sync BeoPlay A9 2nd Gen with PC
in BeoPlay · Sept 27, 2024 21:59If I understand correctly, BeoConnect is strictly for file transfer and not for file streaming, and, therefore, cannot possibly be used with A9, as A9 has no storage features. A9 can receive a extensive range of streams …
End of the road for Deezer? Move to Tidal? It’s all Elon Musk’s fault!
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2024 22:52Hello, There is one reason, and only one, why we have had a Deezer account for years now: its B&O integration. Problem: we now have a Tesla . It does not integrate with Deezer, but it does integrate with Tidal . SWMBO is…

in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 9, 2024 22:15Apple today terminated its old Airpods Max colors and launched new colors: the new colors are five. But it cannot be coincidental that orange and starlight are two of the new colors, very equivalent to B&O's apricot an…
Beoplay H100 Review
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 7, 2024 04:49Good video, Steve. I wish more properly suited people made videos. I bought H95 and ended up giving it to my wife, who absolutely loves it; I can only keep them about 1 hr in my ears before fatigue sets in. One defect I …
Browser based UI for B&O products
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 7, 2024 00:46Wow, wrote a long post about an error, and something called "Wordfence" blocked my post and deleted my draft. Apparently it interpreted the output I pasted from Beoutil as a hack attempt! Anyway, the command «watch» expo…
