Eduard: Here's what's going through my head when I look at this thing. What does the Beosound 6 give me that I don't already have with my Ipod Photo? (now 3 years old) New interface? Not really... fundamentally not different from Zen or Zune. Memory? 4 Gigs. I have 30Gs. The Ipod nano 4Gs and much cheaper, smaller, aluminum, stylish and

Has anyone seen the new BeoSound 6 mp3 player? One has to wonder why B&O even bothers with such a device? I haven't held one, but looking at it... why would anyone want to pay B&O price when you can get sexier and no doubt cheaper with with an Ipod Touch? The interface looks like Creative's Zen in the shape of Microsoft's Zune. The

Try taking the audio out of the head phone jack?

Well in the case of the 9500.... the thought would be that it IPOD would not be portable. You'd slide the cassette panel open and use it to access the IPOD when necessary. If it is to be a dockable/removable solution, I'm not sure that there is a good B&O unit that would lend it self to this... It would just serve as a fancy drawer. For

Hi Ridax: I'm not sure that I like the idea of gutting a B&O to put an Ipod inside? The question in my mind is is this really beneficial? Why can't you have the IPOD hidden away much as you would a CD changer? I'd only do this IF the changers were reversible! But here's an idea..... I think if you could put an Ipod Touch inside the

(I don't know) To test this theory maybe cue the arm manually

Hi Peter: I would add also using a coin (depending on which country you are from; some may be too thick) or a big fat butter knife to remove the panel under the tone arm. Using smaller screw drivers will leave marks on the plastic. Be creative and don't be lazy! Keep these things beautiful :) Derek

Guy: I didn't know that you are located in NA. If interested send me a private message I know an authorized service depot that will debug on the board level. Derek

This might be a "record" for Beogram 4000s. This one went for $1525 USD on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250185154622&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015

Guy: I think you are better off sending your unit off to one of the specialists here (either directly or ask for referal). These things are old, and as Martin and others have pointed out it could very well be capacitors that have gone bad. Any "swap" you may do will likely be prone to the same problem or may exhibit it soon. The key is finding
