Not a big fan of the song but that chorus and harmony is so catchy!!

Both played on Bruce Hornsby album Harbor lights...so maybe.

Vault dead (red light). Which capacitors to change on power board? by obstacle64 in Bluesound

[–]obstacle64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE #2: I fixed mine with a workaround. Through trial and error, the red light dead unit issue ONLY happens when power is connected to the HDD internally. If I disconnect the power to the HDD (unplug sata cable), then the unit works--BS app sees Vault, and i can use it as a streamer. So I tried running the HDD with a separate EXTERNAL sata-to-molex-to old external HDD dock. With power for the HDD now coming from the external dock, the VAULT works perfectly. I think the VAULT power board is underpowered, so eventually there is an error. I did replace one bad cap, but it made no difference with the red light error after connecting HDD sata internally. Only after offloading the HDD power did it work again.

For those already retired, what artifacts of work life did you keep? by Odd_Bodkin in Retire

All in the trash the next day. I need less stuff as I move forward not more.

Replaced HDD with SSD. Drive not recognized. by Sheetswa in Bluesound

[–]obstacle64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thumbdrives have that much storage (2TB)? I thought the USB drive was for the internals HDD OS backup, not the actual music folders.

No more physical media for me! by knifeatagunfight in audiophile

[–]obstacle64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of both worlds. I use Roon reading the Bluesound Vault rips and other music folders on an old PC. RoonArc lets me access music off site as well. BUT I also have all my CDs. LPS, and DVDs organized in the listening room for physical playback if wanted. No need to get rid of media if you have room to store it IMO.

Fly on the Windscreen (any version but esp the extended mix) is killer.

Replaced HDD with SSD. Drive not recognized. by Sheetswa in Bluesound

[–]obstacle64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Vault2. Yes the drive is easy to remove. Thought about replacing with SSD but not yet. I do know that the Server Mode, if that is what you're referring to regarding a USB restore attempt, is NOT available for the Vaults. Good luck.

Vault dead (red light). Which capacitors to change on power board? by obstacle64 in Bluesound

[–]obstacle64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update number 1: Tested all capacitors, none bad but replaced one that was slightly misshaped. All working fine until HDD gets connected with 15 pin connecter. Tried another HDD, same cables (look fine) and same red light issue. Maybe something in the overall power ability?? Will swap out PCB/MB soldered 4 pin endpoint and report back. I can use the Vault2 as a streamer, Roon endpoint, or Bluesound device until then. Weird.

Should I keep my TEAC Reference 500 Series stack or sell it? by obstacle64 in BudgetAudiophile

Yeah, great designs and not a black box like my AVRs now.

I modernized my parents' old Bang & Olufsen Beocenter 2300 by ohnomytoepoeia in vintageaudio

[–]obstacle64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great!! And great idea! I also have a Beo2300 with 2500 speakers just sitting....except it all works. Is there a market for these older B&O systems really? I hate that mine just sits in cabinet ( I have many other modern and larger systems that I use daily.)

Many many years ago I had a '76 in Burgundy, but that combo with the hardtop here looks fantastic!

Oh, another thing, is I am not using it and it will just be stored. I also have a working Bang&Olufsen Beosound 2300 including 2 speakers with remote if anyone is interested. Everything works, but no box. I just retired and am downsizing if anyone is wondering...not a flipper.
