Just a quick not on the LIDL audio front - at my local tomorrow morning - they're selling DVD players with full 5.1 Audio setup - fronts, rears, centre AND sub. They're doing portable DVD players as well - but they look bulky. Oh and anyone wanting a digital camera might want to check the 4megapixel Aiptek jobby - comes with 32mb mem, mini tripod, batteries, charger, carry case all for only 149...

Our 20 years old kitchen tranny finally gave up the ghost so its now headed for the parts box in the sky. I went out on a limb took a chance & ordered the Tivoli Model 2 radio (without ever hearing it..very unlike me that) it arrived a couple of days ago. The sound quality is far better than I'd expected, the build quality excels as far as I can see/feel. The controls have a solid & silky...

With the demise of Pink Triangle I am trying to find out if anyone has yet stepped out of the remains to offer service/repair of Decapo DACs ? A friend of mine blew his up and his local dealer already has 6 DACs awaiting someone to fix them. Thanks Richard New Ash Green Hi-fi club

Hello, where I can buy Infinite speakers in shop nearby Reading area? TIA Robert

Does anyone have personal experiences about this player. I'm thinking about it because of SACD. Grga

I currently use my pc to copy the occasional cd borrowed from friends/ the library - using the cd burner on my pc. However, it's suddenly occurred to me that there must be a reason why people invest in a dedicated digital recorder like the Sony rcd w3 (c £200 - what hi fi 5 star review..)? So - I assume its because it produces copies that sound much better than what I produce using my £40 cd...

Has anyone in the UK heard of Lecson Preamps & Amplifiers? I have two preamps and a 100watt/ch cylindrical Amplifier. Is there any market for them in the UK? They were shown briefly in the movie "Clockwork Orange".

I collect old test gear as a hobby, and like to have it working too. I recently bought a 110v valve sig gen in very nice condition and it works fine off a 110 supply. Looking inside - as you do - I noticed that the transformer primary was two windings in parallel. This, of course, is common these days - parallel operation for 115 volts and series for 230. So I removed the transformer, and...

Hi Just upgraded to an Audiolab 8000q for my x2 8000p (from an 8000s) the 8000q has a gain control from 0 to 15dB in 3dBincrements and as I'm not that technically minded can anyone advise me on the appropriate gain setting? Thought I'd ask here before I started fiddling.

Thanks to all those who offerred me tips on how to make the process of copying some vinyl LPs onto CD easier using my PC. I have had another go using some of the software which was suggested and they have helped make the process a little easier but with Christmas fast approaching I think I'm going to use one of these online places which offer to do it for...

Hi I am the happy owner of one A1 amplifier, bought in 1991. It is 20 Watt class A amplifier, build around MOSFET. In the last months the A1 started to malfunction, the volume knob works very bad: when I turn the knob I hear strange noise ("shhh shhh" as there is sand inside the knob, and also some "crack") and the volume output isn't in accordance with the knob position.
