[quote user="Peter "] My major complaint with sound quality is the way some dealers insist on demonstrating equipment. At a function the other night I heard a demo of Beolab 3s which made them sound bass heavy - I imagine a Beolab 2 was involved - but the effect was to remove detail in a cloud of overblown bass. No doubt loudness on and free

Sorted!

Replacement drivers are available from B&O dealers. The full set will cost around £200 in the UK

I've never known one to need much lubrication. What are the symptoms?

OK So that is way more than just a service. Picking it up from you (and dropping off after?) is worth quite a bit and makes their charge quite reasonable. Beware though, if the lack of sound in one channel problem is down to a problem with the mute relay, you could be looking at another hour or so to fit a replacement.

Diabolical!!!! What will they do for £120????? plus parts !!!!!!

That is exactly the one I mean and it's soundsheavenly!!

You need a RIAA pre amp between the deck and the Ouverture!! Try the Sounds Heavenly advert at the bottom of the page. The boss is Steve and he can help with the pre amp and any cables you will need.

I assure you that the 9500's i've had, it's quite a few, have had a voltage selector wheel clearly visible in either a window in or under the panel. In fact, I have made a point of checking them since I had one which was set to 110 volts when I received it. The dial is mounted on the mains transformer! Just to prove that I am not senile

Correct, too high and will look a bit ugly. At that height the arm carriage could be scraping on the underside of the deck which would explain the noise on starting/stopping the record. The persistant scraping that I had was 75% into the record and was the arm drive wheel scraping on the sub platter. Is the platter running flat or does it wobble up
