Simple minimalistic good looking RIAA preamp
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 4, 2017 07:04I need to buy a simple not so expensive RIAA preamp but they are all som clumsy and/or ugly! And all of them come with unnecessarily (?) big power adapters. So can someone recommend unexpensive, minimalistic RIAA preamp,…
Beolab 8000 - white noise?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 27, 2016 12:04Hmm, I don't understand - can they be set to something else? There is sound but it is a very noticeable white noise as well.
Beolab 8000 - white noise?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 26, 2016 19:23I just a got a new TV. Now I have connected my BL8000 to the headphone jack on this TV but the result was a lot of white noise. If I connect a pair of headphones to the TV, there is no noise nor is it any noise if I conn…

How to adjust the volume on my BL8000?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 30, 2016 16:41[quote user="riverstyx"] Whilst it is possible to adjust the digital levels in software (computers with digital outputs commonly do this) it is not desirable to do so as this also results in a loss of resolution / dynami…

A lot of noise from BL8000
in General Discussion & Questions · May 13, 2016 23:48Will try that tomorrow, but first I need to find a proper cable. This is surprisingly difficult - I need a 3,5 mm tele/phono in one end and RCA in the other. Generally that kind of cable are very easy to find but now I n…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2016 18:15[quote user="ilPadrino"] What are the connections? Airport express via line in? [/quote] Yes. So what are your suggestions?
A lot of noise from BL8000
in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2016 07:24Hmm, another annoying detail is that the music is cut when the signal is too low. That means that the last few seconds and the first few seconds of certain songs disappear. Event silent parts in the middle of some songs …
A lot of noise from BL8000

Beolab 8000 - I am confused. What was upgraded when?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2016 22:26How can all sound correct? There are some "intentional" contradictions in my description. I agree with you regarding the sound quality, my main interest is to buy a speaker that won't break due to a less than ideal selec…
Beolab 8000 - I am confused. What was upgraded when?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2016 16:58I have tried to read up on Beolab 8000 and the more I read the more confused I get. This is what I think I know for sure: Manufactured between 1992 and 2010. 1992-1993 3 (2,5) way, after that 2 way 1999 upgraded bass ele…
What's a reasonable price difference between Beolab 8000 MK1-3?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2016 10:24[quote user="graemeben"] The mk3 you describe here with the improved bass I think most people here would assume to be mk2. I am sure the improved bass didn't become official until 2004 with the serial numbers you state. …
What's a reasonable price difference between Beolab 8000 MK1-3?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2016 10:07Thank you both for your answers. [quote user="graemeben"] Hi. I wasn't aware there was a mk3 BL8000, I assume you mean the BL8002 of which these are rare on the second hand market and will probably still have reasonably …
What's a reasonable price difference between Beolab 8000 MK1-3?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2016 10:58I know that the "correct" market price is what a seller is prepared to sell for and a buyer is prepared to buy for. With that said, if you had three identical, with respect to condition, Beolab 8000 from the three differ…
Beolab 6000, 8000 and/or subwoofers
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 27, 2015 20:17[quote user="Millemissen"] I don't know how you came across that? Maybe you could provide a link to the source of that info? The BeoLabs are usually connected to the various devices with a PowerLink cable. The PowerLink …
Beolab 6000, 8000 and/or subwoofers
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 27, 2015 18:47I have read up a little more during the holidays and one thing that struck me is that B&O active speakers always play at "maximum volume". How does that actually work? Generally, playing at maximum volume has some negati…
