@matador, mind sharing what you got from Curious dreamer please? Merci

I got a LCS9000 back up and running (IR fix) and using it with a Streamer,

working nice but would prefer to use this without Beo4 & Menue 0 4 Go for higher WAF

Mads, could you share the communucation / pics you? got from curious-dreamer / reddit?

If one guy got this running others should be able to .. never giving up ..

Matched up the streaming device successfully to the LCS9000 (Menue 0 4 Go) and its a dream to be able to switch between the LCS9000 / BS5500 combo in the living room for the occassional CD listening and grabbing it, hooking it up to the little streaming box for use on the patio. Absolutely great re-use of such beautiful and nice sounding old hardware after 15 years and bringing it to new life in a more recent environment.

Sidenote: the LCS9000 is used with option 2, only other option settable was 4 but no sound, no reaction on opt 5 and 6

C18 was the issue, works flawless now on the BS5500 and comes up with MCL sel .. Yeah!

I will try to patch an Arylic S10 onto the LCS for some half-mobile streaming sound unit

 

[Klaus Stoetzel]

Thanks, C18 was my issue, much appreciate the help

[Klaus Stoetzel]

No luck on Link + 6 + Store, its hot around here, so off to the cool cellar we go for some soldering fun

Great explanation on volume issues and yes, that makes absolutely sense and would be nice too

more later

[Klaus Stoetzel]

Thaks mads?,

and yes, absolutely positive it is a Beolab LCS 9000 (SW 1.0) as per the label close to the power connector

And sure, you are right, the AUX is not regulated .. so in any case I need to fix the IR first I fear 🙁

Will try the option resetting later today and report back

Laters

Warm Hello to all the B&O tinkerers, great to have found this place, special thanks to @Madskp

I have been using B&O from the 80ies, using at one time The Beomaster/Beogram 5500 series with Restek speakers, with an additional LCS9000 in a linked room, controlled the lights, MX TV, had a B&O wired phone, you name it, happy times.

Fast forwarding like 35+ years all this vanished over time with more modern equipment taking over .. last year I re-surrected the Restek speakers with a Arylic S10 streaming device, moving great sounding speakers into the new age.

I just the other day re-soldered a MLC cable to connect the Beomaster 5500 to the LCS9000 (SW1.0) .. as I have re-wired the speakers to the S10 and rarely used the old equipment anyway .. it kinda works but volume control is questionable so I guess some capacitors in the amplifyer stage died along the way, unnoticed as the main Speakers are active.

The LCS9000 is half good, can be activated by the tight button, no reaction to the IR remotes (Beo4 and Beo1000)

With this and a couple of other threads I have been digesting here‘s my braindump and related questions.

Would the special DIN cable mentioned upthread probably allow the LCS9000 to perform better, taking the amplifyer out?

The lack of IR on the LCS9000 should require the two caps to be replaced, right?

The DIN to Jack cable (as from SoundsHeavenly) would be my best/easiest bet on hookup to i.e. S10 srtreamer (after the IR fix obviously)

As the LCS9000 has been collecting dust for like 15years (last move) I am hesitant to spent much effort / money as it would be mostly for the occasional use on the terasse.

While a 5V hot-fix and a DIN-Jack cable would be a pretty setup for occasional use actually 😉

Maybe we can get this thread energized again, soldering iron and Multi-Meter on stand-by

BR

Klaus
