Stewart Pinkerton's negative contribution by Andre Jute
Yo, Pinkerton: Since October 2004 you sent 4607 message to RAT, which is rec.audio.tubes. You don't have a tube amp. Your expressed attitude to tubes is that you hate them. Your total contribution after 4607 messages to a tube conference is generally agreed to be zero, in fact negative. Most consider that you did this vile thing maliciously and pettily. If each of those messages took you only...

Maggies "now available in Europe"? by Glenn Booth
Evening all, I just seen at http://www.magnepan.com/the_offer.php that some Magnepan kit is now "Available in Europe". Anyone know what kit, and where? I'm keen on getting a listen, and fed up trying to find a good pair of ESL 63s without driving 150 miles. Ta,

Mains filters by Glenn Richards
Just a quick straw poll... What are people's opinions of mains filters, upgraded power cables etc? Have been doing some investigation and there may actually be something in this. Not talking Russ Andrews style £250 mains cables here, more like sticking a plug with a filter onto a standard IEC lead, and possibly using one of those Masterplug RFI filtered 4-way blocks. Has anyone done any...

AKAI GX-W45 spring for tape tray by Willem Hansel
Hi, I own a AKAI GX-W cassette deck. I had to replace the front panel. Therefore I had to demount the cover where the cassette is loaded. Its construction makes use of a spring to open the cassette tray. Finally I have detached the tray and the spring jumped out. Now I have some individual parts and don't know how to build it together again. I don't even know where the spring for the opening...

Equalisation for PC mic input/line input by David Peters (UK)
QUESTION: Do the PC mic and line inputs use the same equalisation (on the frequency spectrum)? BACKGROUND: I have some noisy voice tapes from an old analogue dictation machine. I'm reading the recordings from the "ear" socket of my dictation machine into my PC and then coverting the recordings to MP3.

The extraordinary insensitivity of "audiophiles" on UKRA, RAT and RAO by Andre Jute
uk.rec.audio, rec.audio.opinion and rec.audio.tubes are newsgroups populated by self-declared audiophiles. One would expect those who boast about their interest in music, one of the arts which express emotion, to be sensitive. One could excuse those among them who are "engineers" and hangers-on of engineers for being crudely insensitive as it is well known that these types lack the finer...

Be the first useful thing I've seen Pearce do since I ran into him more than a year ago. He (and you) will be amazed at the respect he suddenly earns by becoming

Cables - the definitive answer by Glenn Richards
Right, I'm sick of this argument coming up constantly, so I just set up a little test. Hardly pure science, but it's enough to make the point. System - SPDIF output from Creative MP3 Blaster USB sound card (one of the few that outputs at native 44.1kHz and doesn't resample to 48kHz) connected to Arcam Black Box 50 DAC. Yamaha DSP-A592 amplifier, Eltax Symphony 6, Symphony Centre and...

WHY STEWART PINKERTON IS UNRELIABLE: 2. THE STATISTICS OF MALICE by Andre Jute
WHY STEWART PINKERTON IS UNRELIABLE 2. THE STATISTICS OF MALICE In the latter part of 2004, at the request of leading members, I started a major project called KISS on rec.audio.tubes (RAT). Pinkerton arrived and announced he would deconstruct the project. Between the beginning of October 2004 and the middle of February 2006 he sent 4607 messages to RAT, a labour conservatively estimated to have...

Questions about Technics kit by John Smith
Hi, Is there any real difference between Technics model numbers ending A and D, for example, the CD players SL-PS670A and SL-PS670D (except the years they we produced)? What is AA all about (my ST-GT550 tuner apparently has AA output)? Has Technics stopped making hi-fi separates? Looking at Panasonic/Technics sites I can only see complete hi-fi systems.

"Remastered" CDs - the truth by Glenn Richards
Ok, a break from arguing about cables! Have been having a discussion on a forum about which CDs sound better, originals or other sets of remasters. So I did a few experiments. Take one CD. Rip, encode to MP3 (at high quality), then run MP3Gain to set the perceived volume to 89dB. Repeat for remasters. Open MP3s using Nero Wave Editor, or some other piece of software that will give you a...

Elsewhere, Andre Jute wrote: I insist on my right, which I freely grant everyone else, to be innocent until proven guilty. either have to prove I'm a liar as they claimed... or apologize. Very well. Let us put to the test your principle of presumed innocence and proof. On January 11, 2006, you wrote: Pasternack sent graphic homosexual pornography in my name to two little girls,...

Digital audio experiences by Malcolm H
(This is a copy of an input to an earlier thread) Perhaps my experiences may be of interest. I have been a music lover and Record/CD collector all my (rather long) life - and like to regard myself as an audiophile. About a year ago I was persuaded to explore the advantages of storing my large music collection on my PC and listening via a media player. I haven't looked back since! Listening...
