Hi, Switched my Arcam 8se CD player on today, and, upon pressing play button, I get 90% hiss/crackling, and 10% music. Checked all the cables, switched input from CD to Aux on amp, still the same. Tuner plays fine through amp, so has to be the CD player. Left it for 30 minutes, turned it on again (to demonstrate to wife!), and the ratio had reversed to 90% music, 10% crackling. A few...

Ends this Sunday evening. Pro audio unit, but removes SCMS copy protection and reduces jittter for use with budget audiophile DAC's such as Dacmagic, so useful for home systems as well.Click: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7356132195

Probably a dynamic for my self. My voice is in the realms of Chris martin tom York and bono or though with out bono's raw power. My voice is softer than my band mate who seem to cut through better. I am using an SM58 and am thinking about an AKG I was an engineer for an outdoor summer gig with many bands. The Sennheiser where used a lot but this one chap had an AKG not an expensive one. and...

Hi, I'm hoping that there might be someone who is a little better at understanding instruction manuals than me! Have just brought a new hitachi hi-fi (the ax-m69) and am having problems manually adjusting the bass and trebble. The instruction manual says: "Press the user button on the remote control, the "BASS" will display on the VFD, then use the volume up/down buttons (VOL-/+) to...

We will shortly be converting our office/kitchen over to being 100% kitchen. At the same time the ceiling mounted Bose Acoustimass 3 speakers will be moving to the new study. The main reason for moving the speakers is that there will no longer be room for the sub-woofer. This means that I need to buy a pair of flush mounted celing speakers for the kitchen, the maximum budget being £199 (for...

Just thought I'd share this with you... Have just upgraded the cable in my second (AV) system from Gale XL105 to Audio Innovations Silver Ultra Micro for the centre and HF and Ultra 100 for LF (Gale 4 and Centre 2). To put it bluntly, it's made a bloody amazing difference! A friend who was round at the time I switched the cables over said it was like a veil had been lifted from over the...

I need a bunch of *dirt cheap* sockets for 300Bs (UX4?), say a coupla dozen of them. (Not a trivial amount of money for good ones!) Anybody know the best place(s) to try? Right now I've got 18 no. 300Bs jammed into a shoebox (and leftovers) like a wacky depiction of Chaucerian Pilgrims in a rickety little boat - they're having fun but I'm having trouble sleeping....!! ;-) I want to build a...

If you want to know what the BBC really think about DAB quality go to the BBC Radio4 web site (www.bbc.co.uk/radio4), navigate to the PM program web site and listen to yesterday's (Friday 7th Oct) prog, the letters section. The bit that matters starts at running time 49:59 and the important one at 50:44. The prog should be available under 'Listen Again' until today's prog starts at 17:00. For...

Well, stuck within range of the front door bell waiting for an (unlikely yet) delivery of an amp and possible delivery of some valves (18 x 300B, no less!!), I finally got round to fitting the Visaton FR10 drivers that Jim Read very kindly sent me to try in my Pinkies (Buschhorns): http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/L1060841.JPG Wow! What a Vas deferens they've made!!* Immediately the...

Hi, I search something about the history of the PX4. Can anyone help me? thank you Sven

Hi, Does anyone know how to assess the age of a Quad 303 from its serial number? I want to know how old one is that has a serial number in the 70000 range. I know that they made about 90000 (according to the book 'Quad: the closest approach') but I don't know if the serial number was just a running number or if they started each year at a certain point. While I'm asking about Quad 303s, does...

I posted this link http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v250/analogkid/hifif100.jpg KeithG was correct the tweeter is the Seas Excel 'Crescendo' T29CF002 "The Big un" as Keith calles it is a Seas H1305 CA26RFX Woofer Which means that speaker which is selling for 9k has no mid range driver

So I got my turntable back into action this evening. Got my new Sumiko BPS Evo-III on this evening and all hooked up. It sounds "ok" but the tonearm looke like it's Concorde taking off. I need another ring on the bottom of my tonearm mount. Never noticed that the last 2 times. Has the cartridge got "taller"? Doubt it. I've had it sounding better than it does at the moment, though, I'm sure. Oh...

Hi, I have been using for some time the Ruark Prelude, floorstanding speakers, which were standing on carpet, but spiked to the concrete floor. We have now changed from carpet to laminate floor, and I would welcome your thoughts on whether the speakers should be coupled or isolated from the floor ? From a sound point of view the speakers seem a little bright, now the floor has been changed,...

Does it make any noticeable difference to erase a cassette tape before recording onto it? What about in the case of video cassette records where the recording density is quite high?

Hi all, anyone knows AV receiver (5.1, min 100W/ch, any manufacturer ...) that *really is* (it says on the box) made or assembled in any of the EU countries, Norway or Switzerland? Tnx, a-

After nearly a year of waiting I have now had my two Azur 640T tuners replaced with new ones with version 3.0 of the firmware. Cambridge Audio announced on their website that the upgrade was available; see "DAB problems" in the discussion forums on the CA website. This upgrade from V2.0 to V3.0 has (it seems) completely cured the problem where the unit used to lose DAB signal and 'lock out'. I...

I have finally tracked down a cassette version of a long lost album now well out of print. But the sound quality is dire, truly awful. Quiet, variable, hissy, with the odd clonk... Is there some half decent freeware that could at least attempt to clean it up? I could load it up on the pc as an mp3 and go from there.. Any ideas much appreciated!
