In article , Bob Latham writes I've had a Quad FM4 since 1982. Its serial number is 1247 and I think it is a pretty early one. It has had very little use indeed probably less than 100 hours in total and often went years without being switched on. I've had a play with it a couple of times recently and been quite horrified...

These two seem to go hand-in-hand in my experience. Everything with DIN sockets has a lower output level than Phonos.

I want to transcribe my LP's, tapes etc to CD. The problem is that the only output from my old tape/record/tuner box is the loudspeaker leads. I believe that these will not match the Line In on my PC I think the signal may be too great and that it needs attenuating. Am I right? Can this be done and how precisely may I achieve this. I have no problem using a soldering iron Many thanks

Hi, I've got a couple of questions on "mp3" players , eg hard disk based (ipod, iriver, sony), or Sonys minidisc atrac hi-md players. At the moment, I'm considering either the Sony NW-HD3 hard disc player, or one of their new hi-MD minidisc players, but have a question on playback. At present I have a Sony NE711 atrac CD player, burning tracks to CD

Can anyone suggest where in the UK I might get one of these old DAT machines repaired? Basically, the transport mechanism has had it. Also, I read in other newsgroups that these decks have to be modified to allow 44.1kHz sampling from the analogue inputs - is this true? Mine seems to do it happily, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been modded. Thanks.

Hi! I ahve a PM7200 to which I ahve hooked up a Gale Storm 10 inch sub by putting a Y cable into the pre-power links at the back of the amp. However I am unable to control the level of the sub in this way. I really want to be able to control the sub from the amp using the line level input on the sub. Does anyone know why this isnt working for me? TIA

Hi, My apologies in advance if this question is too basic for this group. I have a Panasonic DVDS47 DVD player connected to a Yamaha DSPA5 amp using a co-ax digital connection (and a standard analogue connection). Unlike other DVD players I have tried this actually sounds very good playing audio CDs. In the audio setup of the DVDS47 I have bitstream or PCM out options and sampling rate options...

Stax System 4040 for sale. One and a half years old with original owner, as new condition, 550 UKP. I bought it second hand about a week ago and I've realised I don't like the valve amp sound. I'm in Cambridge. --

I am looking at biamping for a pair of speakers. An extra power amplifier is not a problem but I am having problems finding reasonably priced high/low pass filters and, preferably, with relative gain adjustment. I can find filters costing hundreds aimed at hifi and filters costing less than a hundred aimed at PA. Are the PA filters OK in terms of distortion and noise? Can someone point me at...

Hi Andrew, Just thought you might like to know that I now have a 2910 sat in the rack.. Your recommendation was pretty much spot on. I wasn't expecting such an improvement in picture quality I must admit.. Must pick up a couple of DVD-Audio disk to see what the fuss is about.. Where abouts are you BTW? Trondheim ? T.

Question is...I can't get the platter off to replace the belt. It comes up so far and then no further. Does anyone know what to do here ? Thanks for your help To reply either post or e-mail but remove michael and substitute mike

Hello, About eight years ago, my father gave me a Nikko amplifier, and now I have become curious what kind of thing it actually is. I have made some pictures of it so I hope one can see all relevant things: http://members.lycos.nl/daang/nikko So, does anyone know something about it? How old could it be, how much power would it have? Is it any good or would any 10,- amplifier on eBay be

I'm getting poor R3 DAB quality right now (2005/02/10-20:00). Normally it sounds exactly like FM except no background noise, but since last night the frequency extremes are missing. FM is OK, so the audio stages of the tuner are working properly, and I've fed the digital output into a Minidisc recorder to use a different DAC and the muffled effect is present. Hard to see what's left in the...

Hi. Some companies made units that were meant to allow you to enjoy stereo using your mono record player with the "add on" unit. I'm sure what these units were called, I'm just calling them add on units. Obviously the unit was a mono amplifier. Does anyone here have on of these units? I mean, I'm trying to identify one I had a while back and maybe one you got is the same. All I remember is...

Slightly off topic, but since there is a similar thread running.... I just fitted my new NEC 3500 DVD writer and would like to copy some of my CDs to DVD, the idea being that I can get around eight CDs on one DVD and save some shelf space. The writer came with Nero 6, which is also new to me as I previously used version 5.5. I intend to extract the WAVs using EAC but Nero 6 doesn't seem to...
