[quote user="Hubbe"]How do one know when it's time to replace the caps in the crossovers?[/quote] Impossible to say, unfortunately. They are now 15 to 20 years old, so I believe you could hear some improvement but probably not anything dramatic. Mainly the treble end gets duller with time. Listen to them first, and if you're not happy

[quote user="sonavor"]I think I have found the problem. The IC4 MicroComputer has no clock. IC4 pin 15 is supposed to be the timebase for the processor and it is dead. So without a clock nothing can change state.[/quote] Not quite correct - that signal is apparently just something the software uses for timing purposes. The actual clock oscillator

[quote user="Søren Hammer"]I agree that the TX really is an underrated deck. It is really a Beogram 6002 without the Datalink module and with a captive RCA cable[/quote] And I believe this is the reason for the apparent lack of talk on it, rather than its qualities. It was intended and best suited for use with non-B&O equipment

[quote user="Step1"]The fact reset is high, means that the processor should be running ok[/quote] Not necessarily; the reset signal needs to come up with a certain speed and timing in relation to the supply voltages, or the processor might not reset properly. Just having it high at a later time isn't enough. The reset circuits in many

RL6000 are practically the same as RL60.2 and both of them definitely have the durable rubber surrounds. Older RL60 does rot, and for example RL140 as well. I have a pair of RL60.2's connected to a Beocenter 8000 at the office (I believe the amp is identical in 9500) and I quite like the combination! I did however replace the caps in the crossovers

[quote user="danezro"]What else out there compares, I'm not aware of any other Airplay speakers? [/quote] There's this Nokia Play 360° device (note the name...) that has been around for a while. It uses open specifications such as Bluetooth and NFC instead of something from Cupertino, so not worth a mention I guess. Never heard

I think it was around 1980 when when we were first allowed to use calculators during certain classes in school. To confuse people, I learned to use my father's old slide rule and brought it to class. Much hilarity ensued! Wish I knew where that thing is now. It was a (Western) German pretty large device; can't remember the brand though...

I love it! Now, in a true Beoworld fashion, I'll start bitching (I'll let somebody else do the obligatory "price?" post, though). B&O's web sites are generally the only ones that manage to kill my home computer. Do the always need to have some humongous video or Flash app in the way before letting me get the information I want

In some deck types (there are countless versions) it is an infrared LED, which would obviously be invisible in operation, and will show open on resistance measurement. Try looking at it with a cell phone camera, you might see it lit up then. If you can confirm that it is instead an incandescent bulb and doesn't light, it needs to be replaced. It

[quote user="sonavor"]The reason I asked about replacing the two 0.47uF electrolytic caps with polypropylene was because I had read that the poly caps don't wear out. They also usually have high voltage limits so can take a lot of punishment. Aren't the poly caps generally used in small capacitance values because they are affordable
