On the move with yougtimers – Beoplay A3 & iPad 1.

Yes, I think I’ve seen those kits on ebay some time ago.
They came after a search for wooden frets for 8000’s – same kind of mod to me :BL18 look alike.

If I recall well they were available for BL6000 too.

As Millemissen, I wonder how they can actually “upgrade” the 8000’s sound, but as lot of people as them for the style only part of me can understand.

I aslo find 8000’s with wooden grills but without ALT looks weird and unbalanced: that may be an answer for this, without altering the sound of 8000 by ot moving the actual tweeter.

Thank you Steve,

Perfect comprehensive answer.

Interesting thing is, what would be the speakers we’d choose to flank the Theatre as the smallest/cheapest are now the BL18’s!

Two churches:

One will rush in the nearby dealer an buy 18’s or 28’s or maybe biggest…

The other will carefully follow second hand market for the usual suspects (4000’s, 6000’s, 8000’s and… 17’s, 18’s)

Hi Millemissen,

When you quote someone’s post you may want to unclic the “Block quote” button in the toolbar after a carriage return to have your message displayed as a plain message.

They are various threads in the old forum 12-22 and one in the current one you’re reading now about the Century and the IR. None of the solution provide help mine to respond to the remote and I believe so far my IR PCB is dead. Maybe that’s your case too. Unfortunately it seems to be various models of IR board that make it difficult to find a solution.

Yes they can be temperamental – sometimes you just have to keep trying!

“Temperamental”, that’s the word: this morning, out of the blue and just unplugging the base from the box, the handset and the base started to chat again. Without any registering procedure or pincode. Landline is up and running again and I wont touch anything anytime soon.

Thank you Guy for the help and support.

DECT can’t be deactivated.

Is it possible the HS see the base because it can receive data but can’t register the pincode because it’s unable to send data due to faulty RF chip ?

[matador]

Further investigations:

I tried to register the handset, this time looking carefully to the numbers shown:

I recognized the Beocom base PSTN number > entered 0000 as pincode > got error.

Reset the handset. disconnect the PSTN Base PSU.

Tried to pair with the Internet box:

Saw a different PSTN number > entered the known pincode > Got error again.

Reset the handset, tried again with Beocom PSTN base after it had no power for several minutes. Got same error as above.

In the administration page of my box a DECT1 handset shown briefly.

I believe the handset is faulty like he can see bases but is unable to communicate with them.

Does it make sense?

[matador]

No worries Guy,

I wasn’t actually using it daily. It’s more I hate things that dont work when they have too.

It’s a MK1. Ive tried reset and register again. It’s still asking for the pincode, and 0000still doesn’t work.

As for your last suggestion: It’s not easy to do because the actual PSTN base was torn appart.
The pyramid hull has become a charging base for my moded Beocom 6000 bluetooth handset. The internal electronic is in a technical cabinet where it serves as emitter wired to the phone socket of the Internet box and a second charging base serves as charging base for the 6000 handset.

I can put it all back together but it’s complicated and what I do not understand is how you can manipulate the keyboard when the handset is on its base. I rather not to do that if its not the solution.

I must be blind because I’m not seeing the BS9000. However, I do see that the BL4s have no cables

Vertical, behind the headlight of the first motorcycle.

I noticed the lack of wires in the BL4s too but, as a B&O catalog enthusiast, i didnt feel like it was relevant! 😉

I would imagine BS9000 users rip their playlists to cd, load up their Beosystem and enjoy that glorious movement on a shuffle play setting.

Yes, you’re right, with the bonus pleasure of custom disc art!

To add to the perfect answer from Pepps:

Beosound 9000 – wise in 2022?

Always

How many still use a BS9000?

At least one, me and I know I’m not alone.

Why do you still hold your BS9000 in an era of streaming?

Because you have to stream to “something” and in my case, the Beosound 9000. And obviously because ut’s beautiful.

Has your use of the BS9000 changed over the years since streaming came more on the scene?

I got mine after the streaming came.

Do you still love the looks of the BS9000 or has your appreciation faded in the era of mobile devices and does it look odd in a modern living room in post-CD era?

Not at all, still beautiful piece that fit any tasty interior from classic to modern.

I know it’s little bit of too much: Beosound plus Beolab plus Airplay receiver just to receive a simple stream and it is 80% of my use. But sometimes I’m happy to have a standalone music system for radio or CD. And listening to CD’s in random mode with the BS9000 is truly something.

If you are after one, be sure to read all the threads on this system in the old forums: plenty of information you need to know to choose wisely.

[matador]

I’ve got two 4002 (not 4000’s) and I can’t see what the thrust pads are.

I want to add that one of the BG has a little play in the platter that do not impact playing records.

Can somebody say something relevant about these thrust pads that will not add more haze to the question?

It’s funny how the ouverture is used a just a CD player on top of whatever brand stack system and the character says “that kind of CD player deserve a good pair of speakers…” Hummm, let me think… Beolabs?
