Could somebody give me a list of 3 best buy amplifiers in the 200 pound range. On a seperate issue, has anybody had sound distortion problems playing cd's on a Sony RDR GX3 CD/DVD player ? Regards Terry

take a look at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA 1) lots of international people, you will fit in just fine with your intermediate english skills (seriously) 2) in Los Angeles, so once you have been there for about 6 months, you can take a bus to some studios and try to get some internships 3) the place is mainly a music school, and is crawling with hundreds of talented and ambitous young...

It has occurred to me from another thread that I can't recall a UK magazine article or webpages that clear and reliably explain in detail the protection circuits in the early issues of the Quad ESL63. Anyone know of some webpages that already correctly explain the circuit(s) across C14? Or an article somewhere like WW? If not, and people aren't clear how it works, I'll maybe add doing an...

Hi all, Spotted a synthesis valve tuner in hi-fi+ issue 36, trying to find out more about the product but to no avail, i wonder if anyone can help. TIA.

Apologies if the answer to this question is staggeringly obvious but can anyone tell me an easy way to extract a DVD soundtrack to .WAV? My current method is to play the DVD on my laptop and 'record' the soundtrack using Total Recorder. This works but it a bit of a pain as it needs to 'record' the audio in real time. Any way to extract/convert the audio direct to .WAV? TIA

Is there a simple method of ripping the audio soundtrack from a *.avi video file into a wav file? Many thanks -- Steevo

Hi, I'm running Sovtek 5881s in in my Quad IIs (keeping the KT88s for special occasions :-) ). One of them (I have swapped it around on the same amp and to the other amp to make sure it is the valve (tube) that is at fault) has a red hot patch visible in low light. What causes this if its not the biasing of the valve? I assume it can't be this if the fault moves with the valve and...

I'm thinking of buying one of these as I like the feature set ( microphone, decent battery life, choice of formats, etc ). But its quite expensive now that the ipod price has dropped, and I get the impression the HD340 is due for an ease of use and cosmetic redesign. Anyone have any insights as to whether any new versions are imminent?

Hi Newbie request I am trying to find a CD unit that will record (& play) CDs that will act as part of a Hi-Fi system. I had a trawl round the net and (somewhat arbitrarily) came up with the Marantz DR6000, only to find it was discontinued quite some time ago (rats!) Could anyone recommend a suitable model that is currently available? I

Im looking for something used to record with....24/96, maybe 6 inputs (dont necessarily need xlr inputs) . With breakout box (maybe rack mounted) that interfaces to PC via PCI card. I saw an Aardvark Q10 that seemed a good choice but they are out of business now I guess. (Its ok if a product is discontinued but I prefer to have company still around for technical support.) I see some of...

I'm thinking of buying some Quad ESLs and I've been reading a lot on the net trying to decide what I want. The more I read the more I understand (I think) but also the more confused I get. I would appreciate some info from those who own or have long term knowledge of these speakers. I'm planning to use a pair of Quad IIs as the main amp (I do also have a Quad 33/303 setup but for now I want to...

Dear Mr Jute I did not post my list of Pinkerton's lies in defense of you. You are demonstrably big enough to look after yourself. I acted because Pinkerton's public lack of rationality and decency is an insult to the profession of "engineer". Though I did save your private pages before you removed them, most of what I know about you is from public sources. There is nothing in my post that...
