Those of you with a predilection for copious amounts of glass and iron in your amplifiers go scrute this site thoroughly: http://www.sacthailand.com/ See the fabulous range of choice - 300Bs and 2A3s in particular and tell me there's no demand for these seriously *broken* amps....???

Somewhat related to the recent speaker kit thread: I have a pair of 'computer speakers' hooked up to my computer. Sound-wise the are OK since I don't ask much from them (if I really want to listen I go to my living room and its audio equipment) but they are butt-ugly. So, I thought, why not build a pair that looks better and sound better? I am not looking for anything really fancy since I am not...

I shall shortly yank the innards out of this computer to replace the processor and motherboard.... http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/L1070653.JPG .....so that's me 'offline' 'til August.... Sempron 3300 - any good? (Best the local guy could offer...??) and, for the Culture Vultures, anyone here also into 'Ozu' movies...??

Like may people I use aluminium in equipment cases - in my case for top plates for valve preamps and amps. I use 4mm alu, which Fays Metals in Acton London supply and cut to size. It's not great looking in its raw state, but all my DIY attempts with solvent cleaners, wet and dry paper etc are even worse. How do they get that 'brushed aluminium' effect? Has anybody come across a successful method...

Stewart Pinkerton claims that the THE KISS AMP 300B "Ultrafi" was never built. He claims not to have seen the photographs. He claims never to have been told where to find the photographs (though why we should tell such a piece of sociopathic scum anything at all is another question). And so on. But the post below is from 17 March 2005, almost a year ago, and it plainly tells Pinkerton of the...

Each year I flog off some of my stuff for charity last year it was speakers and some cables. This year its a Quad 405-2 power amplifier see thread here on wigwam forum http://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum1/3904.html

Here's a bit of usenet history that now has been running more than a year: Stewart Pinkerton claims that Andre Jute didn't build an amp. Andre Jute repeatedly tells PinkoStinko the amp is built. Still the scumball PinkoStinko calls Andre Jute a liar. Andre Jute directs PinkoStinko to a photograph of the amp.

Andre Jute wrote: In summary, I tell Pinkerton again what my name is. He insists again it is something else. That conclusively proves "the awesome certainty of Pinkerton's psychosis". Andre Jute Stewart Pinkerton wrote: On 19 Feb 2006 13:03:50 -0800, "Andre Jute" wrote:

The Hifidelio music server does not (by default) expose the music files that have been ripped to the hard drive - however it runs Linux 2.4.26 and uses samba to expose an import directory to Windows that can be used to copy files for importing. In order to expose the internal music folder that contains all of the stored music tracks, it is a simple matter of using telnet to login to the...

Hello all, I thinking of venturing into the world of hi-fi seperates and I'm starting by looking for an amplifier. I don't have a great budget for this, around £150, therefore I have narrowed my choice down to the following: Cambridge Audio AZUR 340A Sony TA-FE370 Marantz PM4001

One of the better known pirate "poacher turned gamekeeper" stations!. But have a look at the field marked "stuff", and see their article on reception advice and DAB in particular. This puts the BBC to shame!. Even better click onto listen now and see what they've done to improve audio quality. Looks like they deserve and award for that!..... http://www.radiojackie.com/ --

In the past whenever i wanted to record my family talking I used an ordinary tape recorder. These don't seem available now, apart from a few cheap ones probably low-quality. What is the best way to record? Are there any portable stereos which record directly to cd? I've tried an MP3 player- the creative nano plus but it's not even as good as old tape recorders used to be.

I have had a Hifidelio 160Gb wireless music server for a week now and thought I would write a brief review to help/inform any potential buyers. First I should say that the price is the UK of £799 is too high and I would recommend the dealer Stassen-HiFi based in Venlo in Holland who sells them for EUR 839 (approx £575). I upgraded the music server to the latest 2.1.8 firmware very easily...

This is a long post, so those not interested can ignore it. This brief history is not exhaustive, and covers mostly surround sound as applied to records. There were separate developments for broadcasting, and these have been mentioned in passing, but not covered in detail. I have also not discussed Ambisonics in any detail.
