I've just posted a 7day auction on ebay for a set of SD Acoustics SD1 Mk 2 speakers. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5797291983 These are the high-end, floor-standing, ribbon tweeter design. A superb, very dynamic, neutral set of speakers. Happy bidding!

I am preparing to resample a lot of audio files from 48 kHz sample rate to 44.1 kHz. There are many freely available re-sampling utilities and I am trying to select the "best" one to use (I actually have at least six from which to choose). I have created a 48 kHz-sampled test file that sweeps a sine wave from 0.0 Hz to 23.999 kHz over 23.999 seconds. I am looking at the 44.1 kHz resampled...

Hi, My Rega deck seems to have developed a humming problem, when the arm is parked then everything is virtually silent but if you swing the arm over the platter mains hum can be heard increasing in volume towards the center of the platter!!!! Any ideas how to cure this??? Thanks, Jamezgb

Dear Keith, I read your 'review' of the Buschhorns (see the bose acoustic wave post above) and the comparison with the Loth X's and was very surprised to read that the BH's performed, in many ways better than the Loth's. Do you think it's the single driver, because the horns sound more natural, or is the Buschhorn design having no financial constraints just simply better.

I have an old Ortofon MCA-10 moving-coil cartridge preamplifier that is no longer required. This battery-powered unit allows a moving-coil cartridge to be connected to a moving-magnet phono input. It is possible that one channel is not functioning, but this should be straightforward to repair. Before throwing it away, it seemed a good idea to offer it here in the remote chance it might possibly...

'Needles' now!! (Still short a couple of holes!) See also: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread/t-47403.html Note me ogives, disregard me split ends! :-)

Does anyone have any experience with Hi-Fi City, Watford - Any good, recommendable etc? TIA.

Hi all Has anyone out there got a set of schematics for a Cambridge P50, that I can beg a scan of please ? I'm particularly interested in the front end, prior to where tape play feeds back in. Failing this, is there anyone who worked on these a lot back in the 70's, who remembers any stock fault which gives low audio on both channels. I can 'scope good audio level to around the second...

I'm looking for a CD player that will stand on top of my hi-fi stack. It must be no more than 31.5 cm wide and 24 cm deep. I am a struggle finding one. Any ideas?

Simple answer. Purchase a speaker selector switch at any electronics outlet. The selector switch takes one pair of amplifier outputs and spilts out the output to 4 and up to 8 stereo pairs. (it takes care of the impedance problems).Home run the cable from each stereo pair of speakers in each room to an 8 ohm stereo wall attenuator in that room and then bring the cables back to the speaker...

Hi all... Other than the ubiquitous Ebay, do any of you have good recommendations for online second hand AV equipment? I'm particularly looking to add home cinema to me system and want to find a good value Denon or Marantz home cinema amp.. cheers'n'beers, Pete

Hello, "Ensoniq ASR-10" WANTED !!! JUST EMAIL ME IF YOU SELL ONE ! Either Keyboard or Rack, I am italian. Thanks to my job, we could possibly meet in the U.K. to make the deal directly.

Evening all. I'm looking for some new floorstanders. I mostly listen to rock, ranging from early 70s stuff to modern Power Metal. I'm trying to decide between the KEF Cresta 30s, Gale 3040s and TDL KV6s. The KEFs are the only ones I can find reviews for, and I like what I read. Clear and precise, with descent, controlled bass. Most places do them for £160, but Richer Sounds has them for £120....

Hello all We're looking for a domestic Radio/CD player which will also play MP3 CDs, for use in the kitchen to replace an old Sony radio/cassette. I'm looking for something reasonably small, with a 'digital' (PLL) tuner. The best thing I found in a bit of searching was the Hitachi CX80MP?? from Argos. It's a 'boombox' style, but is more compact than most (around 30cm wide) due partly to it...

Everybody may already aware, but Denon have finally brought out a newer, sparkly version of the DM31. It's got all the usual specs (being small, silver, 22w etc) but has the stunning additions of DAB radio and MP3 reading capabilities. It's not horrifically expensive either. I'm almost definately going to buy one, but just wanted to see if anyone has had a chance to listen to one before i take...

Seperate amplifiers in each room ( or alternatively so-called 'powered speakers' with inbuilt amplifiers ) is the only solution that preserves audio quality. I assume you don't want quality trade-offs which is all that any other approach can offer.
