This is part of my reply to a friend who has Klipsch Heresies already but expressed a curiosity about my speakers. I thought it too *neat* to waste and have posted it here mainly, I suppose, to aggravate the Pencil Dicks here who are too scared to step outside the safety zone of legacy Brit 'evergreens' and are full of yap and *advice* - yet too fekkin' embarrassed to tell you what speakers...

A beast of a power amp from 1977. I'm looking for one for a relative who has a matching preamp and would like the Power Amp. Please email me (yes my email address is correct) if you have one for sale or know where I can obtain one from. Thanks.

Poopie Donkey admits the truth about his skills in the world of business. Poopie tries to scare somebody. NAD stuff has always generally been pretty decent. I nearly worked for them once btw ! But just in time, the HR manager checked your "references". Whew! Actually, it's because I wanted to continue in a self-employed role whereas they wanted a full-timer.

Hello! Is the Pilot SA-260 too much power for the "stack" Quad ESL 57? Or do you think the Pilot SA-260 not capable to drive it? The link is technical info of the Pilot SA-260 http://www.ainamoi.com/pilot.htm Thanks!

I am about to construct a couple of speaker stands to my DM601 S2 and I don´t know if I should use spikes between the stands and the floor. My floor is hard (without carpet). In case I should use them, should I use 3 or 4 per stand? What about between the speakers and the stands? I have also seen spikes there. I have found contradictory information on the web about this topic, I would like to...

OK, Autumn is upon us and we will all start to lose the will to live as the weather slowly gets worse (lovely today, though) and the nights get longer. So, to brace us up, I want to host a competition to find the *wackiest track* anyone can come up with. I will award a little summat nice (but spare) out of my toybox to the one who is voted the best - rules as follows: No rules (yet) - you...

Hello all...I found this mic the other day and I was wondering who/what/where it is. You can see some photos he http://sports.webshots.com/photo/172469357/2169286410052446678rztuda http://sports.webshots.com/photo/172469357/2729272750052446678qfJoQv Thanks!

I want to get hold of a free burn-in CD for my new amp. Does anyone know of a public domain download that can be copied to CD and played? I am also looking for a similar download file with tones of different pitch but the same volume to compare left and right speakers. Yes, I could buy something over the web from the Audiophile / Stereophile website but I want it today still.

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new CD player. Not willing to spend more than 500£, what's your advice? If there are some good options with price tag significantly lower than 500£, they would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

I recently, after reading all the posts debating the various merits of of CD and LP, went out and bought the latest and greatest budget CD player, but now have a problem. I am having difficulty determining how to change the what-see-me-jiggit that should allow me to tailor the sound to suit the different types of music I want to play. You know how you can change the cartridge in your...

Any of you there in the UK know what's the deal with Lord Pinkerton?? Perhaps someone might ring him up?? Anyone remember his website URL?? No one on the US based audio groups seems to have seen him since an abrupt disappearance back a few months ago... Anyone??

You want to hear the gnashing sounds its slavering jaws are making. OK, not audio, and it is a big file, but take a look at the monster I have by the shed. http://81.174.169.10/odds/monster.jpg d -- Pearce Consulting

Can anyone offer advice, please. Our village hall (about 20m x 6m but very high roof) has what I thought an adequate PA setup - a Shure hand-held radio microphone feeding a decent PA amplifier (Carlsboro) feeding four Wharfedale Linton speakers which are mounted (two on each wall), about 4m up and 5m apart - where the eaves meet the walls, angled downwards. The current setup is fine for...

In May 2006, Hi-Fi Choice's reviewers sat round an email client program and between them came up with the 50 most important hi-fi components ever sold in the UK. The results were published in an award-winning supplement Hi-Fi that Rocked the World. If you missed it, here's the top ten: 1. Linn Sondek LP12 turntable 2. NAD 3020 integrated amplifier 3. Quad Electrostatic loudspeaker 4. Rega...

Hi all, I hope someone can help with this... I've purchased a lovely Cyrus 2 and PSX, but I can't get any phono output. I know the other outputs work fine, and the record player is ok. I did notice on a google search that: "As I remember the Cyrus 2 has to be mains powered too in order to feed the phono power supply and the power indicator LED."

My Fm4 has a strange problem, I have replaced the back up battery and this is working, if I store a station at 88.10 mhz when I switch it back on the frequency comes up at 88.00 mhz for the first 5 - 10 minutes, it then slowly creeps up to 88.5 then 88.10, it does this on all stations stored. Does anyone have any ideas about this Thanks Gary
