Gentlemen, those of you whom I have met and 'know' will know yourselves that I *never* out anyone or divulge personal information. Today is an exception however - only *today* our very own 'ukranian' *Rob* learned he has gorn and got 'isself a bloody PhD!! (So it's *Doctor* Rob from now on!! :-)** I know he's had to grunt a bit to bring it home, so I'm sure I'll not be the only one here...

cant you play nicely, the least you could do is keep it in one thread. all this is getting very boring. bob

Well, I got me DAB (there's a previous thread somewhere): http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/DABRadio01.JPG http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/DABRadio02.JPG Sixty nicker from Argos - which has got it make it an even better bargain than they say he

Gentlemen: I have a mailbox full of letters from members of UKRA, all of them incredibly polite and several gracious and witty, for which I think all these informed and informative correspondents very much. I have checked their facts in the archive and found them to be true and enlightening. The consensus is that: 1. "There is no US on UKRA to send Pinkerton anywhere."

Anyone else note the awesome significance of this: No need for me to counter the BS any further. Pinky simply isn't worth the time. Patrick Turner. It means we can lose Pinkerton sooner rather than later. The way it works is this: the troll Oinkerton only has existence when recognized. If no one answers him or recognizes his existence by writing to him, or about him, or answering his posts,...

To Stewart Pinkerton : Three hours ago already I asked you to prove your outrageous lie or, by implication, to apologise. I am still waiting for a reply. I should point out to you that you have been told several days ago that this lie of yours is untrue. You willfully tell it again. That makes you a character assassin.

A few of the UKRAinians who wrote to my mailbox have apparently been lurking on RAT because they want to know what "pilites" is and how it is pronounced. Prononunciation: Pie-lie-tees. Say it quickly as pile-eye-tees and you have the origin as well. Origin: A Russian once screamed in my face that I was "a spiked ball in the haemorrhoids of the bolshi cheroy," the big bosses, colonels...

Hello. I'm probably the longest Jute-watcher here, since Mr Jute's text on automobile design was pressed into my hand as my bible on my first day at work right out of college. Normally I just lurk but Pinkerton's grotesque character assassination of Mr Jute should not pass unchallenged. BACKGROUND:After a quick glance at the internet, Stewart Pinkerton postured on RAT and UKRA as an expert on...

Hi Group, I have a Technics SEAX 100 Tuner / Amp which is rated at 2 x 100 watts ( 4 ohm ). Used for not much more than playing CD's at home. The instruction manual states that "the impedance of any speaker used with this unit must 4-16ohm." I am currently using a pair of KEF C55 speakers that are rated at 150 Watt ( 4 ohm ).

If you wish to study the engineering of sound/acoustics the best in Europe is probably still ISVR: http://www.isvr.soton.ac.uk/ They have undergraduate courses and a range of Masters courses (probably more relevant if you are about to get your first degree in Italy). There are other courses in the UK at Salford and Surrey (possibly others I have been out of touch for a while) but they are...

In article , Paul Dormer wrote: My amplifier "allows you to vary the volume from 0 (silence) to 79 (maximum), where each step is equivalent to 0.5dB." How would one relate this adjustment to actual listening levels? It's only a rough guide as ears vary, but the accepted amount to double the apparent 'loudness' is 10dB. But...
