If the person who asked for info about the correct cut-out for an SME3009 still needs the information, then can you drop me an email? I've now found the template and can scan it if you want. -- Chris Morriss

Anybody remember the FR7 and FR MC702 cartridges from the early-mid eighties ?? The ones with the integrated headshell and cartridge. Anything like that around now, apart from the ones from Ortofon ?? Much obliged. Cheers Mal Oz

Will all 5 speakers on a 5.1ch surround sound system be put to use no matter the audio source e.g radio or cassette etc. or is it only if the audio source is capable of 5.1ch sound e.g. DVD's?

Hi I was just browsing and came across the Origin Live web site, having not looked at it for a fair while. I noticed that kit turntables are no longer for sale. Anyone any idea why? A new line coming maybe? Regards

Hi, I need some help - just got some new separates, my first venture past packaged mini hifi's. I bought some TDL Studio 10 and they sound great but darling Son used one speakers as a punchbag and has pushed one of the plastic domes on the speaker so that its now inverted. I have a couple of questions: 1. Does it matter ? 2. How can I get it back - I thought that I could catch it with a

Just "discovered" Bjork's "Headphones" and on my new speakers, it sounds absolutely amazing! Wow! Unfortunately it's recorded at a rather low level, apart from some bass bits which, if I turn up the valve amp, cause it to clip. For Bjork I need a more serious amp, 100W at least, I'd say. Gawd, I know what my next upgrade is now... NO MONEY!

Can anyone recommend or advise on outdoor speakers. I want reasanable quality ones to go with my Denon 3802 and B&W speakers around the house. I've seen some Sonance speakers in rocks and plantpots, but I nothing about Sonance or if there reasonable quality or not or a bit of a gimmick. Any help appreciated. Chris

Either I build some or I buy some. Ideas for a really good sounding base for a 2 way bookshelf speaker? Don't want to throw money at this, and am happy scouring yards for metal pipes, bits of concrete etc. I have tools for metalwork and woodwork.

Saw this DAC on Ebay. There doesn't seem to be much info about it on the web (and it seems to be the only DAC Rotel made). I know I really shouldn't be getting a DAC (actually, I would like an old Audiolab 8000DAX or the new Benchmark DAC1) without upgrading my speakers or listening environment first, but here goes ... Does anyone have any experience with this DAC? Is it well engineered? ie

Someone recently gave me a Lux MQ3600 power amp. Unfortunately there is one 8045G power tube missing. Finding one seems impossible by my search. Does anyone have a source for them? Beyond that, has anyone done the mod described below and want to comment on the expense and/or result? *8045G--power triode, made in Japan by NEC especially for a 1970s-model Luxman amplifier.

Please help me anyone....... My amp suddenly shut up(no loud playing), the led in front is red instead of green.I`ve measured the output and that`s ok. I can`t find out what`s wrong. To solve this, I need a schematic or a very good tip. Hope someone out there can help me with this Thanks.....

My son (aged 14) who is a promising young violinist has asked me to buy him an electric violin. We have been told that an acoustic amplifier is required and that the type used for electric guitars are not suitable for violin. Can anyone recommend a newsgroup which I might try to get advice on suitable instruments and amplifiers or even make recommendations from personal experience? Thanks in...

Can anyone recommend a sub £150 AV receiver? (used with TV/DVD)

Hi folks, I'm doing some milti-track recording at home, andI need to obtain an amplifier to power a pair of near field monitors (possibly Tannoy Reveals) which I'll be using for mix-downs. I'm on a tight budget at present, so I'm looking at second-hand hi-fi amps. A local junk shop usually has a selection of them. I gather the amp needs to be flat-response i.e., uncoloured, accurate and clear....

Needing to replace my Magneplaners for lack of space (cue - SMGs for sale), I strolled into Audio T and heard the following: Dynaudio 52 (2 way bookshelf) Dynaudio 52SE (2 way bookshelf) B&W (2 way bookshelf) PMC GB1 (transmission lines) The B&W had the most lively mids and full mid-bass but a rather strident edge. The PMc were surprisingly good. The 52SE were the best and most detail...
