I have a Rogers Cadet III amplifier and have recently got hold of a Thorens TD 160 turntable that I would like to try with it. The Cadet only has a pick up adapter for a ceramic cartridge, I want to try and modify it for use with a magnetic cartridge. I have a copy of the circuit diagram for the control unit but it doesn't include the pick up adapters. I've taken a picture of the adapter in the...

Having read the article in last month's 'Hi Fi News' about 'upgrades' for the Quad 303 (and 33) I became curious about this. I've been using a 303 for a few days as one of my usual amps has an intermittent fault, and this enhanced my interest. :-) I visited the website of the company who offer the mods (net-audio) and I must say I was pleased that they explain the changes quite clearly....

Hi, At home I have an Arcam 10 DAB tuner and an external DAB aerial, so everything is near enough perfect. However, I may need to rent a flat for work purposes (ie too long a commute), and am thinking of buying a micro system along the lines of a Pure Legato as below: http://www.pure.com/Products/product.asp?Product=VL-60692 I am going to assume in advance that the 'T' indoor aerial...

There is only one DAC worth buying - the Benchmark DAC1. It is for all practical purposes perfect, and will make the very best use of any incoming data stream. -- Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering Stewart,

I'm doing some audio recording on my Windows XP PC and I want it to behave as though it's tape controlled ie: the recording will only proceed when a specific volume is reached and the recording will pause if the volume drops below a certain level. Is there any software that will do this? I am using a Midiman Delta 44 sound card in my machine. I'd prefer recording software that can do this but if...

In the specifications of my AV Amp it says the following. 90 W + 90 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) 125 W + 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD) What does the 1kHz bit mean? I'm assuming that it means the measurement has been taken at 1kHz, is this correct?

I've been transferring some old LPs to CDR via my PC using Audacity, the set up I use works fine for me but I find it tiresome to split the wav for each side of an LP into tracks. Does anyone know of a piece of software (cheaper the better) which could be set to automatically create a split in the wav file where a gap of say 2 seconds exist?

Hello. I have been offered an ex-demo Inca Katana for £400. I am very tempted, but this is a serious step up for me (current system Cambridge Audio Azur 640 CD and Amp with Kef IQ5s). I'm happy with this system (which is a recentish purchase) but plan to move the cd and amp to a second room and use the Katana as the foundation for something a bit more indulgent (perhaps the Naim Nait 5i amp...
