Re: [SlimDevices: Boom] Replacement PSU for Boom

2021-06-01 Thread swayzak


The Berls I linked to seems to work fine.

However I'm not an electrical engineer or electrician.

I would be v grateful if someone could run over the spec and compare to
that required by the Boom - is it likely to be ok in the long run ?

Thanks

It works fine with my 2nd Boom's PSU.

We had a serious electrical issue this week after having electric car
charging point installed (involved losing electricity for 12 hours and
our supplier digging up half the neighbourhood looking for faulty earth
cable !).

I suspect the death of this Boom psu may be related to this ...

Thank you.

Does it have the correct fitting plug (for the Boom) ?

I've read some of the replacements are a bit loose

Hello

Mine has failed (after 10 years).

I've found this:

Any other recommendations (I'm UK-based) ?


Thanks

I have 2 Booms from way back - both in perfect working order (although
rubbery front & top panel encrusted with dust which seems impossible to
remove).

[SlimDevices: Boom] Presets disappear from Boom - why ?

2017-11-09 Thread swayzak

Hello

Recently I've had some disappearing presets from a Boom when it has been
alternated between LMS 7.9x and MySB.com.

Sync option in MySB.com page of LMS web interface has been disabled for
many years (which, when enabled, was a recognised cause in the past).

What else could cause this ?

Thanks

Were all of your "failed" Booms supported by a subwoofer  ?

They are not exposed to either of those factors to any significant
degree (both are in shady, non-humid locations).

[SlimDevices: Boom] Subwoofer advice for Boom please.

2016-05-25 Thread swayzak

YSTFSW050


One of my Booms is a kitchen player and it's time to get some bass !

Don't want anything too overpowering (Boom has modest output) and I was
looking at the Yamaha YSTFSW050. It seems well regarded and good value.
Any thoughts on this model ?

Would it be reasonable to place the Boom directly on top of this or is
that a bad idea sonically ?

Thanks
