Hi, I'm currently driving my ESL57s with a 33/303 combination. I would like to upgrade to a Quad 34 and wonder if I should then move to a 306 or upgrade the 303. The ESL57s I have are 1974 vintage and were originally sold with a 33/303 setup. I believe the 303 is so designed it can't overdrive the ESL57s but maybe I'm wrong? The full spec NET Audio 303 upgrade costs around £200 and for that I...

Hi Everyone, i have updated Enjoy the Music.com's Review Magazine as we are now doing midmonth updates. Two new equipment reviews (Audio Note's Kit 1 300B integrated amplifier and Marigo Labs' Signature 3-D Stabilizer Mat) have been added to August's reviews of Artemis Labs' PH-1 phono stage, Raysonic's SP-100 integrated amp, plus the Cain & Cain Company Abby loudspeaker and Skorpion's...

Hi all My P51 just failed on one side, so I'll have to get it fixed or replaced. Last time I had a problem with it (20+ years ago) I ran the C51 from a power supply and used another power amp. The problem is, I can't remember what voltage the C51 uses. If anyone has any info I'd like to see it. I am also open to offers for a replacement P51. Or from anyone who fixes them.

I quite often record off the radio to CDRW using my Pioneer PDR609 CD recorder. I split the recording up into 3 minute tracks using the facility built into the recorder. This is to make navigation of the CD easier, especially in the car. It all works fine, but occasionally I want to save a piece of music that spans two or three of the tracks. Is there a program I can use to join the wav files...

Hi - anyone here who have seen a technical description of this cassette deck? Or opened it and thereby know how it is best done? TIA -- T Sandvik // to send e-mail, remove vehicle

I'm looking for a siimple program that allows me to edit a long liverecoring (wav) so I can make multiple tracks.

I've been googling around for a program to protect audio CDs which I am planning to make from possibly being copied (I would just prefer to think that they can't be) and I haven't had much luck. I've found a couple of freeware programs like CDLock but they won't protect audio CDs, apparently because tracks on an audio CD are there as easily distinguishable and copyable files. At the other end...

First, a conundrum (American English): Q: When is a 'router': http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/router1.jpg not a 'router'?

Since long time I am looking in vain for this BBC broadcast from Proms 1984: Bartok Duke Bluebeard's Castle Judit: Julia Hamari Bluebeard: Laszlo Polgar Conductor: Eötvös It would be very interesting to listen

I recently complained to Sony that this box required the volume altered on my TV when swapping from NICAM to it on the same channel. This Freeview box is about 4dB low compared to the previous Philips one I had, and also low compared to others I've tried. They swapped it for another - just the same - and sent it back to Japan for investigation. Got an e-mail saying it was within spec - OdDFS...

Ok, this one's going to get the purists turning purple, but here goes... Have just plugged my now-retired Arcam Black Box 50 into the PC (Creative MP3 Blaster USB external sound card set to digital only mode, hence no resampling) and compared between MP3, CDs played straight through the internal DAC of a Technics SL-PG390 and CDs played through the BB50. MP3 played through the Black Box...

Hello, apparently there are certain low frequency bass sounds that make people feel squeezy or irritated. Anyone know, where I might find those on the net? Thanks, Jens

1. davemaschine Aug 10, 11:28 am show options Newsgroups: uk.rec.audio I have been listening to a number of the Proms broadcasts from Radio 3, through dialup/Real Player, etc. and/or BBC Radio Player. Results of all of what I describe below seems to have been about the same through both media.

High I have a very difficult situation here. I have a friend that has a bar outdoors, on the seashore. ight next to it there are houses. After 12:00 at night he has to turn down the volume in order not to anoy the neighbours. But then most of the customers will leave because there is no more fun. I have looked up and found that he can raise some insulating walls. But

Hi, Is it possible to get a smallish/goodish hifi with: AM/FM Tuner (DAB?) Minidisc RECORDABLE CD Tape Cheers,

Hi, I have this piece of equipment, but do not know what it is for. It works on 120V, I assume it's for separate bass control with electrostatic speakers. Does anybody have any information about this product. http://www.zen10396.zen.co.uk/html/ess.htm many thanks

OK, I have now reversed the amps/speakers so they are now: 2A3 SET/Loths and Dynavox/Buschhorns and have posted these two pairs of tracks on my Show N Tell page: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/show.htm thus:

I'm expecting deliveries sometime today and therefore stuck within earshot of the bloody doorbell on a lovely day like this, so here's another loopy comparison.... This track ('normalised' mono MP3s) is very honky/horny to counteract/compensate for (ie *hide*) the effects of open mic recording and I like 'em both - one is my homebrew 2A3 amp on my homemade Pinkie speakers, the other is the...
