I know this isn’t the best solution as such, but keep an eye out for a BV7-mk5. I’ve had the BV7 32″ non-hdmi, the mk4 40″ non-hdmi and currently have a mk5 40″ with hdmi and blueray and it’s superb! You won’t miss your old BV once you’ve seen the faster smoother image on the mk5.

Hi Sergi0,

I there any chance something wasn’t seated perfectly when you assembled the screen and speaker?

Have the two elements been unjoined and reconnected since you first rebuilt it?

Hi Martin,

I have bought from Quality Dream Audio in the past. A BGCD6500 a few years ago.
The cd drawer scratched the cabinet as it opened and closed – when I contacted them to query it I was simply told it was under £200 for a reason and I shouldn’t expect perfection if I only want to pay a little 😂

I haven’t been back since.
They do appear to shift a lot though. Perhaps they’ve improved?

Good luck with your search.
In my opinion I would buy a Beogram you like the look of and use it.
Enjoy your old records for 12-18 months. By then you’ll know where the sound is lacking and what you want more of – which in turn will guide you to your next Beogram 👍

I guess sound transfered via that same cable too? Bet those tones sounded top through the BV 👍

Hi, nice to hear you’re wanting to add to your B&O collection.
danishsoundparts dot com has a comprehensive catalogue of parts to help repair/service/maintain all types of BeogramCD.

There is a well-recited mantra that the 90’s cd players from B&O sound quite clean and clinical. While the older players have a warmer and fuller sound. But it’s up to you really.

Personally I love the 6500 and 4500 BeogramCD machines.
They look so cool.

CD-X is an interesting model.
And there’s always Beosound 9000 if you really want a piece of visual theatre in your home 😎

Hello Stefan,

If you plug headphones in do the speakers mute?

These speakers are glorious and well worth saving. As Dillen suggests order a service kit (or two) and ask a specialist to fit the new electronics for you 👍

What a lovely gesture by your boss.

Glorious! Such a cool story! (And a cool home set-up too)

Looking forward to the next instalment 👍

I would call your B&O contact and ask them to explain what they actually repaired each time. That should help you understand what may be wrong – perhaps between you both you could suss out a long term fix?

Congratulations to all the lucky winners!

I’m already looking forward to seeing a bumper crop of photos, videos and typed up stories for the rest of us to enjoy after you all return 🥳

Oh and here’s a challenge for you all when you’re at the Struer museum – try to find out why only one of the BL9000 panel speakers works in the ‘sound effects studio’ interactive room.
And maybe work together with the museum to repair it 👍👍

That’s brilliant! Thanks for sharing – it’d be cool (personally) if there was one showing the slightly newer products like 3500 and 2500 systems 😍

Hi Soren, great to hear you want to have your Pentas serviced, they’re glorious speakers and will love a freshen-up.

Have you considered hiring a van and taking them to Leeds yourself?

Personally I consider my Pentas like my children and there’s no way I’d use a courier! Once those panels are dented they’re spoiled forever.
