Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2
To my knowledge, not without work on your part. I believe that the bluesound software populates the database’s “artist”, “Album Artist” and “composer” fields using the name of the composer (or conductor/orchestra) by first name then last name. You... 
Burn a CD From an Album on the Bluesound Vault?
Yes. It was a CD that I ripped originally.What was interesting, when My Mac burned the CD from the faults music folder, it would not play; however, if I dragged one of the songs from that CD to the desktop, I was able to play it from the desktop. 
Bluesound Tech Support
Hi Steve, Thanks for your input. First, your experience with Bluesound tech was five years ago. I’m sure a huge increase of bluesound products have hit consumers since then, putting increased pressure on their tech-support. Second, your experience... 
Bluesound Tech Support
Bob… thanks for the advice. I am very familiar with accessing the Vault through my Mac. I’ve been accessing the database to make changes and using MP3tag to modify the tags. And, as far as backups, I have an external hard drive on my Mac with a co... 
Bluesound Tech Support
Being now married to Bluesound, (until death do us part) going to another server is completely impractical for me, unless there was a way for the Melco N100 to be able to restore the Bluesound’s proprietary backup drive of all my burned CDs. My or... 
Bluesound Tech Support
Bob, I hear you. But one tech-support phone call would have saved weeks of aggravation.  I went back and forth with their tech support for over two weeks on each of the two incidents, having to use emails to communicate. Each email would suggest s... 
Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2
Recluse…The Bluesound node 2 is connected to the Vault via Wi-Fi on my home network. I use a TP-link Deco mesh Wi-Fi system and one of the tp-link’s nodes is hardwired to the Vault which is maybe 5 feet from the vault. The Bluesound node 2, althou... 
B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2
Has anyone here used the 702 S2's with a Krell Vanguard integrated amp? 200 w/ch at 8 ohms. Looking to replace my old Thiel CS 2.2s and wondering if these 702s would do it. I'm looking for a clearer, cleaner sound (stereo only.) 
Bluesound Vault & Original CDs
Expanding on the question, being a retired IT director, one of the reasons for my not letting go of the CDs, is back up paranoia - the doomsday scenario of the vault crashing along with the database, and the restore doesn’t work. Note, that I know... 
Bluesound Vault & Original CDs
I see we are all in the same “boat”!What is a “PM? I have plenty of jazz CDs. 
CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
I recently replaced my Theta Miles CD player with a Bluesound Vault 2i and have loaded all of my CDs onto it (over 1000.) Note that I demoed the Vault against my CD player (attached to a Krell KAV 300i integrated amp and Thiel CS2.2 speakers) for ... 
Bluesound Vault 2i
After you have deleted the tracks from the network database, using your PC or Mac, you have to go to the bluesound app and rebuild the index. To rebuild the index, from the bluesound app: Help/Diagnostics/Rebuild Index. To see the progress of the... 
Speakers for a Krell Vanguard
Thanks Verdant... appreciate the input.  
Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think?
Coming to this discussion a bit late (is it better late than never?) I offer up an opinion and another question. The setup: I have a pair of the Thiel CS 2 2s attached to my Krell KAV 300i. Both are 23 years old and still sound fabulous. After mu... 
Speakers for a NAD C352 Integraded amp
Gentlemen, Greatly appreciate the response; although I pulled the plug on a decision a couple of days ago. I decided to upgrade the speakers on my AV system and use the old speakers on the NAD receiver. The old speakers are B&W 600s. They soun...
