Confused as to which is which... I prefer the type that has a short left side and a longer right that wraps around behind the neck...which of the two is it, Neckchain style or Y shaped? Si.

I picked up some TDK SA90 tape from Richer Sounds for a bargain 59p each, I then rigged up my Pioneer CT-S740S tape deck, which I bought about five years ago and have never used. Sheer bliss, just messing about using all the bells and whistles (more than you can shake a stick at on this deck,) it just reminded me of 20 years ago, when virtually when everything was recorded onto compact...

Today I finished restoring a JVC JA-S11G integrated amp. Beautiful sound. I did the switches, knobs, Omron relay, the lot. The switches were a beast though. Plastic covers them from end to end so I had to prye them open and cleaned them _*thoroughly*_ and they now all sound like new. Gawd I wish audio equipment still sound like the 70s but they don't and they break much sooner than these aging. I...

Just bought one of these (£220 from dabs) and am very pleased with it. Being old and deaf, I don't really notice that it isn't really hi-fi! I have connected it up as follows: Sony TV KV-28DX20U with 3 scart inputs, from: Sony VCR SLV-SE710 Sony DVD NVP-NS330 Pace box for tnl cable As can be imagined, there is the mother of all snakes weddings behind

I was flicking through "What HiFi" magazine and I came across something very odd - a series of reviews on *digital* audio cables, for connecting a CD player to an amp. There are comments such as "this cable brings across a crisp sound a cut above the rest" Now, at this point I have to shake my head in disbelief. Surely a digital cable about 1 metre long can easily carry a 1mbit data stream with...

I have some open reel tapes which are suffering from shedding of the oxide coating. I understand that baking the tapes under certain strict conditions will restore them to a playable state, at least for a limted time. Does anyone have experience of this problem and advice on how to do such 'baking' ?

I'm interested in buying a NAD 521i, 521BEE or 541i CD player. I just saw that prices there in UK are much cheaper than here in Italy. Do you know any good online shop that deliver to foreign countries? I made few searches but only audiovision explicitly says they deliver to other countries. Do you also know any sites with used special offers other than ebay.co.uk?

Dear all, I have a range of second hand kit that I want to sell on (Cyrus 2, Mission 770F speakers, Sony Tuner and so on). Can anyone suggest a way that I can get an indication of a fair price to ask for the stuff? Thanks, Roger, Aberystwyth

Dear all, Excuse the non-audio question. There was a pair of 12L speakers for sale on e-bay. For those of you that own L series speakers, or have seen them and have the ability to retain this visual info, could you please tell me if they resemble most the "e-bay" or "catalogue" image at: http://ifans.home.cern.ch/ifans/choice.gif I realise the incosistencies of screen colours etc but the...

I am looking for a (used) Headphone Amplifier AUDIO-VALVE, model RKV-mk2. It should be in a perfect condition (except maybe the tubes) and the country of origin must be 220V-50Hz. Please contact me directly by email : do not forget to remove "-NO-SPAM" before the @ sign. Thanks

I am looking for a replacement headphones to listen to MP3's on a Sony -Ericsson p900 mobile phone, and cash funds willing, an iPod in the near future. I'm looking for something smallish. I've had a look at a few: Sony MDR-EX71SLB earbuds Sony S2 MDR-G57G Street Style Sennheiser PX200

Any MP3 buffs in here interested in 'some' MP3s for 'evaluation' purposes? They are a 'backup set' which has been long superceded by additions are of no use to me now. Naturally, I would not consider selling them but I would accept a spindle of, say, 100 DVD blanks for them (£80 from Maplins, for instance) to cover the 'administration' hassles. Email me direct if you are interested. (Clue: If...

I'm looking to buy a system in the region of £200-£230ish. I'm really after a CD player and tuner, but a tape would be an extra. I have no use for MP3 or Minidisc. I would prefer to buy from a high street retailer and not online or imports. Does anyone have any ideas which is the best I can get? Graham

anybody know a way to access the above without spending money (am currently using news.cable.ntlworld.com but they seem to be deaf to my pleas. Eddie

Here's another one: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3378627.stm iPod beater???

Will the Bose Acoustimass 15 home cinema speaker system work with a Yamaha DSP-AX630 SE ? I read something about the speakers all connecting to the Sub connector, is this true ? Simon

What a great shame, I found CD Wow nicely priced and with good fast service. From my estimates they got away with their prices because they do not pay 17.5% VAT, making the true cost slightly more expensive than the UK Supermarkets where you do pay VAT. If they really do raise all their prices by £2 to £10.99 I will just be forced to buy fewer CDs at my local Superstore. CD-WOW will not be...

I am about to invest in a high-end Toslink optical cable, and I have narrowed the field down to these cables: Supra X-ZAC, van den Hul Optocoupler Mk. II or Transparent High Performance TosLink. Does anyone have a view on which cable is the better one of these? Are there any other cables I should add to my list? Thanks! Arild
