Yes, I’m still using one, too. I don’t even think of the possibility to sell it.

Keep in mind that the Beosound 9000 is a delicate piece of equipment! It’s like an oldtimer that needs care from time to time and there are no more spare parts available from B&O according to information of my dealer in 2020. So if you want one, you better buy a serviced one with warranty from a B&O dealer.

I’ve just installed a Beosound 9000 onto a wall in our new house’s living room.
It’s nice to touch and doesn’t feel cheap, it’s beautiful but not too flashy and yes, especially in the evening it looks some kind of calm and “technically cozy” when the lights are on and the disc is spinning.
I guess that’s what the vinyl enjoy when they’re listening with their turntables watching the record spinning.

If you listen to many CDs it’s not the most comfortable CD player as changing the discs is not as easy as on standard tray loaded or slot-in CD players (depending on the chosen mounting option of a BS 9000).

Hundreds of CDs in the house and the BS 9000 plays music burned to CDs from online sources like Beatport, Soundcloud etc. where (unfortunately) pure digital downloads are dominating.
The BS 9000 is not the main source of music in the house but one of the lovely ones I love to keep maintained and serviced.

Ist das richtig, dass der Beomaster 5 keinen Eingang hat um den Sonos Port anzuschließen?

Der Beomaster 5 hat einen Eingang über optionale Hardware: https://www.behringer.com/behringer/product?modelCode=P0A12

Damit hast Du dann den “AUX-IN” Eingang an den Du beliebige Geräte anschließen kannst.

Beomaster 5 requires additional hardware to use an AUX-IN input.
You’ll need this:
https://www.behringer.com/behringer/product?modelCode=P0A12

Than you can connect everything you like as an input to the Beomaster 5.

Hey Guy,

– didn’t find it in the service menu.
– check: No 😉

Thanks for your input. After a longer than expected network configuration afternoon everything is running AND B&O program now sees all products.

You where right: The subnetworks and IP ranges didn’t play fine with each other. Fixed and now it’s running.
Learned something new at the weekend. 🙂

Thank you for bringing back the Beoworld Forum – the most precious Bang & Olufsen knowledge base outside of Struer. 🙂
