    If you still need to connect airplay/cromecast  as you mention in your first post you could always try if the 1611 coverter will give you an extra  input or two

    The Beosound Ouverture in the cabinet as since then be replaced by a Playmaker for streaming, including radios. It drives the BL8000 but also a Beolink Passive and a pair of C40 in the back. The Ouverture you see in the pictures is just there for when/if I need to listen to a tape or a CD. And also because I have no other place to store it!

    The 5mm model was developed by another member from my design, to fit local wood supply so I can’t really say. Nevertheless, there is indeed a strong link between curve, depth, wide, number of lamellas and their thickness, so it make sense the curve is more important.

    And yes it will result in a less thinner speaker. To what extend ? I dont know.

    The 4mm clamps are designed for 4mm thick wood bits.

    The 5mm clamps are designed for 5mm thick wood bits easier to find in nothern countries it seems.

    1-No

    2-What do you mean by “power has been removed”? If you mean unplugged from mains, yes it revert to some sort of default setting. If you mean “just turned off” the setting should be remembered.

    3-I don’t know but normally it should at least toggle between track number, time elapsed AND disc name if the disc has been named.

    4-I dont know again. I think the power switch was about some sort of european regulation or a thing like that.

    Cheers.

    Unfortunately I don’t have an ML-equipped BeoSound or Ouverture to test it with!

    Ahahahahahaha (sadistic evil laugh…)

    Yes, you have a lot of fancy beocom triangles under table remotes, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE A ML EQUIPPED BEOSOUND!

    Guess what? I DO!

    There’s a justice on this world!

    Et toc!

    Yes, you have to zip it. But it also need to be less than 8 Mb so it may not work at all.

    What is the white pole with a golden sphere at the end? Nice setup!

     

    😀

    It’s the close-up rope end of the lamp cord (the Ikea modulable ball I guess…). look at the reflection on the TV screen!

    Bonjour Pierre and Welcome to Beoworld,

    Thank you for taking time for posting again despite the issues you had with your fist attempt.

    The rocker twisted arm was indeed an old story and the first suspect when the sledge is scratching, until someone advised that it can’t be bent so easily and started to look more at the damper.

    Parts being if not rare, often difficult to find at your local dealer (in France at least) the shrinking tube is welcome. Please let us now how it turns aft some week of use.

    Hi there,

    I suggest we rename the topics since it is now far from BL3500 and 1611 only.
    It would help people to find information about all your experiments.

    Being not good at naming threads, you can suggest anything that would be relevant.

    Guy, fell free to rename it if I’m not around.

    Regards.

    Hi everyone,

    As a bronze member, a “leecher” so to say, I feel now like being part of the problem.
    Nevertheless, here are my thoughts, in random order and unrelated one with the others:

    I’m not a new member anymore but I’m not an old either: it has been a lot Beoworld history before me. But I still can feel the difference between before and now. The other day, a member used the word “moribund” about a topic and it struck me because it is what I feel about the whole forum. Lots of valuable members have left to others places and they have taken with them a little bit of the “soul” of Beoworld. They are now a lot of questions that remain unanswered when it’s obvious that is that or that other member were still there they would have helped. This, and some other little things make that Beoworld may have lost a part of it’s shine: you used to go on BW because it was THE place, now you just google your problem and sometimes you end on BW, sometimes not…

    When I came here, at first I didn’t subscribe as Gold or Silver because I didn’t knew what I was buying. Things to be said, they are a lot of manuals available all around the internet, the most commons, then why would I pay for this not even knowing what was available? With the time I’ve learned that the database is far beyond what available elsewhere with a huge amount of document. But then, life made that I just cannot afford the little luxury of the membership fee. So I try to contribute as I can, helping members when I can, posting content if it can be useful and moderating to help Keith as little as it can help.

    To me increasing the membership fee or closing some features to free members will just kill Beoworld. If we were in the times where all the knowledge was here, perhaps it could have work, but today, I don’t think that people will pay. And I’m afraid that Beoworld could become an old private club with old members always telling the same old stories until they die. And people will seek help elsewhere.

    On the same note I also like to add that for new members, it is not very clear who’s who: the tag line “founder member” is confusing and I personally still not understand who has made BW, who’s running it, who’s funding it and who’s just a partner. Maybe have a little history about that could make the new-coming members realize why BW is so special.

    I’ve indeed always wondered how the prize draw could exist, even more when you look at some prizes (A9, BL8000, etc…). What’s magical about it is that you always know someone close that win and it make it a real value. But in rough times and given what Lee told us (he barely buy the prize which is own money), I would just suspend it until weather is better.

    There is something nobody’s talk about and maybe because it’s a dirty word but I will say it : advertisement. Yes one of the privilege of Beoworld is not having ads. But I rather a Beoworld with ads than no Beoworld at all. I don’t know if B&O make affiliation or I dont know how it’s called technically, But if each time a member buy a Theatre, a Stage, or any speaker, Beoworld could have receive little part just because of a banner or a little ad on that desperately empty gray zone, I wouldn’t mind.

    Well there is so much to say still but I realize my post is already long so that’s it for now.

    Thank you Keith, Lee, Steve, all the members that help and keep the forum alive and active.
    Lets hope BW will last long.

    From the picture, also a Beosound Edge behind the red guitar ?

    I, personally don’t see the point of the TV with the two 18’s so close and the sub underneath.
    I read once, while ago that candidates for a Ferrari had to demonstrate their skills in driving… Harsh, but in some way, true. In this picture I can see fetichism (not sure an English word), will to show, and overstatement, but not pleasure or love for music (John Miles, if you’re reading…) or even sound.

    If I use my “moderator” superpowers, I would add that this goes more in the “B&O in TV shows or movies” thread !
