cozza: There is an adjustment on the 9500 to center the CD clamp in the arm when a disc is loaded. If this is not correct you will hear a ticking or scraping noise as the disc rotates. Funnily enough I was reading about this a few minutes ago for my BeoSound 9000. I will perform a camping centralising adjustment tomorrow probably. I have no idea whether

Thanks Beolab, that sounds about right to me, a 10%-15% difference or so.

Beolab... can you really notice a SIGNIFICANT difference between the Mark II and the Mark III? If you can, where - standard broadcast, digital broadcast, high definition or DVD upscaling? I really couldn't see any difference with a Planet Earth DVD, which was normal digital footage (non-HD) playing on DVD. Simon.

Perhaps Simon, but HD at £120/year is almost not worth worrying about, when we're discussing £8800 BV7-40's

Thanks for all comments. I will speak to the B&O guys about it when they come to swap the tv over in a few weeks.

Britpop: Wow, this topic soon strayed for the original title. "A quick Saturday morning laugh..." Its good to stray, makes it interesting!

Some really interesting replies since my own last post and I'd like to pick up on several. Moxxey, you mentioned that you are confused by some of my posts. Well you are right, and this is what I have been saying. I am finding myself getting more confused by televison technology the more I look into it and carry out research. I had always assumed
