I read a lot about the sonically wonders of a DC motor kit (Origin Live) and Linn Lingo and Naim Armageddon power supplies. I´m currently using a Valhalla supply, but what can i expect from either of those supplies? Can anybody give me a technical description of why a , say, Armageddon should be better than a Valhalla? The valhalla is Quartz controlled, the Armageddon is an OVERdimensioned...

Not sure if this is the right group to ask this question but, if not, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. I have a promotional CD which is mixed so that the whole CD is one long track. I would love to re-record it so that it is split into individual tracks so I can easily skip from one track to the other. Anyone know any software out there that will allow me to do that?

Been down to the shops recently... looking for a CD player to go with my Rotel RA-01 and Monitor Audio Bronze B2, using QED Silver Anniversary and Qunnex 2. Been looking at the NAD 540BEE or splashing a bit more on Arcam CD73. Happen to see secondhand Linn Audio (usual price around £700 it says) selling for around the price of the NAD at about 150. Can't remember the model number. Which...

Hi - can anyone identify this bulb: http://tinyurl.com/3cf2h from a Pioneer SX 750 receiver, late 70s model? It's about 3mm in diameter and is used on the panel to indicate 'stereo'. And where to find a replacement? Many thanks

I'm thinking about getting a pair of cordless headphones. Requirements are being able to wear them while digging up the spuds. So range is important. What I've found in my research so far is that not that many of them have a volume control. I might find this a bit of a nuisance. My shortlist so far includes: Sennheiser RS110 http://www.hifibitz.co.uk/product.asp?id=2570

Hi, Can anybody share any info about Helius Aurum tonearms? A typical second hand price? Cartridge recommendations? How does it perform? I have recently acquired one of those (silverwired), and thinking about trying it on my (early 90s) LP12 (valhalla PSU), instead of the Rega RB300 i´m currently using.

Apologies for the cross post. It's a DCC 600 in very nice condition. It's here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3090747056&category=295

Goodmorning, I have a Eci-3 new version (s.n.: 30027). When i select an input, for example AUX, and i turn off and then turn on the unit using the MUTE function on the remote, the AUX input remains selected; but, if i turn off and then on using the MAIN SWITCH, the new input selected will be CD every time! It start every time with CD line input selected. Is this OK? Thanks. Franco Patrucco

Hi, I was just listening to a CD and noticed it had a "copy controlled" logo on it, so I thought I would stick it in my PC to see what happened. I cancelled the "do you want to install the software" dialog, then went into nero, selected 'save tracks to HD' and I was able to save the tracks to uncompressed WAV without any warnings or anything. Have I been incredibly devious here? I wasn't...

My long serving but enjoyable Philips CD610 looks to be nearing death - one of the teeth on the drive cog that opens and closes the drawer has broken off - if another adjacent goes as well that will be the drawer stuck. I'm wondering if now might be opportune to get a DVD. Anyone out there know of a machine that doesn't cost the earth but does play CD music at least tolerably? Half decent...

I hope this will be of interest to someone who'll give it a good home. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3089617368 -- cane ¦ fireblade, r30

Hello First: this is my first post to this newsgroup. If it is not acceptable for such posts as this, would someone please contact me and I will not do it again. I am just trying these newsgroups for the first time and I am hopeful if I have made a mistake that someone will be kind enough to notify me and others will forgive the error on my part.

I am an elderly and totally non technical individual, and recently, but quite characteristically managed to muck up the settings for the dvd/amplifier connection in my system. Thos was set up for me by a friend who is now overseas. I rang a local (Camden Town) Hi Fi shop and asked their rates. Minimum call out $47.50 plus VAT, and £1 per minute after 20 minutes! Quite apart from the cost being...
