Beosound 9000 digital output - no sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 7, 2019 20:40Hey! Yes, i got a digital out, and it only works with the dummy plug. Volume has to be controlled from whatever other device you are using. Not the best setup, but audio sounds and works flawlessly. The only gripe is the…
New Beoplay A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2018 18:31[quote user="moxxey"] I still like my MK1 A9 as I can use a Beo remote to control it. Essential for me. And I don't get any plastic popping noises at all. [/quote] Did they take the ability to use. Beo remote away on MKI…

New Beoplay A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 19, 2018 01:43Well, it’s enough of a sound that we all know exactly what we are talking about.... 😕 It’s markedly louder than anything at the time it usually happens, in the wee hours of the morning... so while it’s not the biggest n…
LG 2019 OLED TV- WiSA Wireless- Soundbar- Dolby Atmos audio.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 19, 2018 01:32I’m not sure how I feel about a store brand tv, which specializes and makes GREAT TVs, lumping in a lot of features. What I mean is that I appreciate the time and effort different brand spend on perfecting certain elemen…
New Beoplay A9
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 18, 2018 05:36I really love the A9. Other than the BL 50 & 90, and 18, and 8000, and 20, it’s my favorite! Lol In all honesty, it’s an incredible speaker, both in design and sound quality. Being on a MKI, I sort of want the new one. H…

LG 2019 OLED TV- WiSA Wireless- Soundbar- Dolby Atmos audio.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 13, 2018 06:53I hard wire everything, not trying to add more wireless dysfunction into my life, let alone more radio frequencies bouncing around my house. Last time I was at a B&O store, none of the wireless speakers they were trying …
Are your kids unimpressed?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2018 21:59I too have cobbled together a system that can work in any room, but most importantly, incorporates systems from today’s product lines, going all the way back to the 70s as well. They don’t get the allure, nor are impress…
4K video options?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 17, 2018 08:15I have found the simplest solution is just an AV receiver. Almost all have all the wireless streaming for music, connectivity to your smart phone, multiple sources, all with one simple HDMI connection to the tv. Proper D…
Beosound 9000 connection to Beomaster 8000?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 16, 2018 08:44Iv trued searching, but I can’t seem to find any solutions of connecting a Beosound 9000 CD player, to a Beomaster 8000 amp. The Beosound has a digital and Powerlink out. Maybe a digital to RCA converter? I believe the B…
4K video options?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 16, 2018 08:28One thing to be aware of is lip sync issues and audio delays when adding toslink/spdif converters, HDMI audio splitters, or multiple “boxes”. In some instances, the lip sync can’t be fixed, even after adjusting the delay…
My rather unusual B&O setup
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2018 07:23Hey Politician, quick question... how come you didn’t go with a Beogram 8002 with a MMC1? Secondly wouldn’t it be better to run your BL90 and BL50 without the BL10 fir movie and TV viewing? 70 to 80% of audio normally co…
Preamp for Beolabs
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2018 07:07I was looking for a solution as well, but the offerings from B&O right now for a source are pretty lame, except for the Beovosions, which I think are superb. I started off with the WXC-50, and I loved it so much, that I …
beo-newbie amazement!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 6, 2018 07:56I first listened to a set of B&O speakers and amp 20 years ago, and I can remember the experience; simply put, I could hear instruments I hadn’t ever heard in songs I had listened to in many different situations and play…
Dolby Digital with non-B&O television: how?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 2, 2018 05:38[quote user="trackbeo"] If your first choice ends up being an LG OLED, bear in mind that Dolby Digital from the optical output has an unacceptable delay. Stick with HDMI ARC or as recommended above, a receiver/pre-pro th…
Loewe + B & O cabling help
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 2, 2018 05:30[quote user="James1980"] I wanted to avoid another ‘box’ if possible. Part of the reason for going to Loewe was to appease the wife that the amp was disappearing! [/quote] Ah, gotcha. The Almando box is the simplest solu…
Loewe + B & O cabling help
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 1, 2018 21:40I just responded to a thread similar to this. You can get a new or good second hand top-end home theatre pre-amp. This will drive all your B&O speakers with the latest and greatest Dolby, DTS etc, and also have multiple …
Dolby Digital with non-B&O television: how?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 1, 2018 21:02I am running an OLED LG and Yamaha CX-A5100 preamp. This is the top shelf from Yamaha, which is basically on par if not a little better than Denon, Marantz, Pioneer elite, etc. Yamaha just released the CX-A5200, so there…
