Hello. A lot of the CDs I own when I play them on my computer in Windows Media Player it displays the logo of the CD in the centre of the screen when the album art setting is selected, and it also has a smaller logo at the bottom right as well. I'm just wondering, is this an actual hidden image on the CD itself or as I suspect just a text link on the CD somewhere that lets the media get the...

I found this on a rare excursion into alt.50s (recently qualified;=}) and thought this group might bear the results, in another sporadic visit ... I have ~115 groups subscribed, results of several forays into the all or new groups lists, and, some, I had hardly ever visited ... like that one! It was crossposted...

Always think that good service should not go unmentioned, and Mission are a case in point. I had a new set of FS2av's a couple of years ago, coupled to my Sony STRDB940. Very pleased with the setup. On unpacking, an end cap was missing from one of the satellite units, e- mailed Mission and one arrived, with compliments, 48 hours later. A few days ago, disaster struck, one of the satellite...

I would be very grateful for some advice about what may happen to my FM radio reception when eventually it is decided to switch everything (or almost all) to DAB. At present I have a Beocentre 2200 to which I know I will either have to fit internally or externally a FM aerial. When the DAB system finally takes over, and I suppose my favourite programmes (Radio 3/4/Classic & Jazz FM) switch to...

Hi, The above item is for auction on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5746126636&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Regards, Paul

I've picked up this old amp, I think it's from the 70s, but still in good condition, however the manual has long since dissapeared into the dustbin of history. Anyone know the power and impedance handling of this thing? And, is it bridgeable?

I currently have Technics SLPG 490 CD player Cambridge Audio A4 amp Mordaunt Short MS20i Pearl speakers. QED silver anniversay cables (Bi-wired) Cambrige Audio Arctic interconnect Toshiba wide screen TV - can't remember model - about 4 yrs old. Aiwa HT-DV90 home cinema in a box system. Music quality is important (up to now I've been largely happy with the music

I have just purchased some of the above speakers. I currently use a Cyrus 6 amp and an Arcam CD92T Cd player. Whilst the Cyrus is nice it is a bit underpowered for these new speakers. I was think I need something in the region of 150 watts into 4 ohms to drive these babies. Any thoughts from members?? I have the following AMPs on my list but if there are any that I am

Hi, Can anybody tell me the use of a port (the hole at the back) on the speaker? What is the difference between the speakers with port and those without? Thanks,

Hi, I have heart that a device called DSP can improve the quality of the sound in a listening room. Can you please tell me when on the web I can find more info? Thanks, Vasilis

Hi I have a Sony DAV-S500 home theatre system. Naturally, the speaker wires that came with it are rubbish, so I've started to replace them with better items. The speakers are connected to the base unit via a plastic plug with two separate receptacles. Using a pin in the body of the plastic connector, it's possible to remove each wire from the plug. I'm left with a speaker wire with a crimped-on...

Hi all, After years of meaning to upgrade and making do with a mini system (cough), I'm finally *really* going to upgrade to a decent hifi setup. Basically I want a hifi system that makes my music sound as good as my Shure E3s do... My main criteria a quality sound and single-make system. Now obviously, the latter may come to the detriment of the former, but hey ho. So far I've considered

Hiya. I've got a peculiar problem with my speakers on my PC. Sometimes it sounds a bit like a singer has stuck a bag over her head or the band are in the next recording studio to all the microphones. I suspect that one of my speakers is playing up. But, being deaf in one ear, its difficult to discern differences with the left or right speakers. What I could do with (please) is a pair of stereo...

Has anyone ever heard of a company named Major Acoustics Company? It must be from the 70's or so. I'm looking at buying an amplifier and tuner from someone and I'm trying to get some more info.

I'm trying to divide a very large mp3 dance mix (which lasts 100 mins plus) using SoundForge v. 5 so that I can burn it onto two separate discs. Problem is, the PDF Help File is like a flamin' encyclopedia and I'm struggling to extract the precise instructions from it for what I need to do. Can anyone be kind enough by offering some help with a simple idiot's guide step-by-step set of...

I have a Pioneer 575 which I am using exclusively for audio purposes (i.e.) sacd and dvd-a replay. How does the Denon 2900 compare in this area? (I know its no longer available but I may have an opportunity to get my hands on one soon) Any views would be gratefully received.

We all know that a certain amount of controversy exists about the benefits or not of vastly expensive oxygen free or whatever special cables to connect one's amplifier to one's speakers. The LS3/5a, as we all know, is a famously accurate speaker and much beloved by a certain type of music listener, I have had my pair for twenty years and have never found any speakers I like better (that I could...

I have been looking for an audio test CD that I could download from the internet. So far I have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know of one? (There are lots that I could buy!) All I could find was a site that gave me a .bin file and .cue file and tells me to use my own CD burner software. I have a copy or Nero, but I dont see how I could use the files. --
