Just listening to (a vinyl of) Elton John: LP: Tumbleweed Connection, Track A1: "Ballad of a Well-Known Gun" The lyric runs: "The Pinkertons pulled out my bags, and asked me for my name....." Iain

I think Stewart is on to something with acoustical transparency here. I was just playing a piece by John Cage on the hi-fi and I swapped from valves to a ss amp. Sounded exactly the same. I swapped in three different DACs - again sounded the same. I tried nine cables - again, sounded the same. I tried some floorstand speakers instead of 2 ways. Sounded exactly the same. Turned on the subwoofer -...

Hi I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask so please excuse me if it is not. I would like to record some streaming audio files that I have listened to using Real Alternative player. Is it possible and if so, how? Ian -- Ian Pollard//Wooler//Northumberland//UK

I am a young musician and as part of my hobby do a lot of stuff on the PC, computer speaker systems just weren't cutting it for me... Earlier this year I decided to invest in a better soundcard (mainly for recording purposes) and some hi-fi equipment, I got a Marantz SR7300 AV receiver, Dynaudio Audience 42s and other bits like a projector, which is irrelevant. At the moment I'm using the...

There are a number of pretty cheap (say £30) MP3 players available based on flash memory storage. So, given that I aleady have a 512kB SD memory card (for my digital camera), it seems that I could get one of these players and be able to have about five hours of music. That would give me a few Mahler symphonies and songs and get me through a day's gardening very nicely. I already have a Sony...

Can anybody tell me what Full Size HI FI CD Players are available that will play MP3 discs? Preferably in the UK or EU. TIA

Hello All I have a technical query about wiring up an old Rel Stadium. I'm planning to use a pair of Anthony Gallo Nucleus Micros for the higher frequencies and my trusty Rel for the lower freqencies. The problem is that the Gallos can be damaged by frequencies below 125 Hz. Normally these would be filtered by their sub but as my Rel doesn't have a high pass filter I have bought a pair...

Hi, I am wanting to distribute sound from 1 amp to multiple rooms, and control the volume (to complete off) I was also want to distribute IR as well back to the same amp. I don't want to use a dedicated multi room system, due to cost. I can't seem to find much information / sellers of speaker level volume controls in the UK. Anyone have any luck finding reasonable (compared with US price)...

Just in case I may have mislead anyone here (with all this 'vinylology' lately) - Swim has just got back from a quick trip over to the town for 'essentials' (olives with chili peppers for her, jam doughnuts and white-iced sticky buns for me, a DVD and popcorn, an alarm clock with a choice of calls - rooster, seagulls etc.... :-) and she hands me three LPs. 'Ow much?' sez I - 'Three quid' sez...

Is there such a thing? Cheers, Fred.

Hi, Are there any decent sounding mini or micro hi-fi systems around that can record directly onto flash memory cards? Cheers, Fred.

Hello I want to connect the output of a PC to an audio system that has stereo phono RCA inputs and an AUX switch. Two questions: 1. I think the cable will need to be 15 metres. Will this work or will it be too long and downgrade the signal? If okay, can anyone please recommend a good supplier of a 15m cable with 3.5mm stereo jack on one end and phono plugs on the other.

Hi, has anyone modified either the Aux (100mv) or CD/Aux (300mv) input modules on a CD input for better results with highish outputs from CD/DVD ? I don't have a low output radio and so replaced the 1M shunt with 470K, but still not too much control. Before dropping to 100K or even 47K I thought I'd see if anyone has found the best balance. I also

Soon after I turned 40 the eyesight started to go. Now, since turning 50 I have noteiced that one ear has better HF response than the other. Today I was calibrating the replay side of a tape recorder using a test tape. I could hear the 10KHz tone but when the 12.5KHz tone came up I couldn't hear a thing! Me ears are shot to pieces.
