I'm looking for a technical fix to a problem I've got and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I need to connect the audio output of my DVD player to my Sony HiFi, but they're at opposite ends of the room (about 15m cable run), with 3 doorways in between. To make matters worse, I recently had a new carpet professionally fitted and I don't want to start peeling it back to...

Someone has offered me interconnects which apparently use the standard cable of a certain manufacturer but the terminations are soldered on rather than welded. The price is significantly less than that for normal product cables. Can anyone comment on whether these are likely to be legitimate and sold with the approval of the manufacturer. - As an aside, any comments on soldered vs. welded? TIA, -...

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...

After the electrians came in and put the wiring in, I had a look. They've done two of them phono to phono with some very cheap looking stereo cabling :( The other (supposedly for video) is proper 75Ohm stuff ended in short lengths of the cheap stuff to the phono connectors.... I was hoping to put digital along one... Would video transmission be ok along this cheap stuff, using the 75Ohm for the...

Has anyone got the version of M-Crew that comes with the HAR-LH500 (V2.6E) to work on XP? Mine works ok on a W98 laptop but on the XP machine it causes a reboot just after the title bar appears, just as the reading starts I guess. TIA Craig

Along with some other vintage equipment, I have acquired a pair of these 'speakers and wonder if anyone can tell me something about them. All I know is that they are of 1956 vintage. I haven't really the space at home for them as they're very big and heavy so I wondered if they are of interest to vintage audio collectors. If anyone can point me in the right direction, websites, societies etc....

Hi - can anyone help me please? I need a mini/micro HiFi (preferably CD & Tuner only) that meets the following requirements... Excellent sound quality (well, as good as it can be within the obvious limitations of a mini/micro trannie system) Nice & loud! (I'm looking for a high RMS value rather than peak-power, right?) Front-loading CD (the system will live in a purpose-built cubby-hole in a

I saw the posts recently about copying LPs to CD and figured that would be a good christmas present for someone I know so thought I'd have a go. But it's not working out to be the simple job I imagined. I got my hifi connected to my PC ok. Downloaded a program called AIPL Singulator to split the audio into separate tracks. Clean my LP, start the program, play the record - thought that would be...

Hi everyone I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem and I'm sure the solution is very simple :o) Because of the bad weather (!) my horses are spending a lot of their time inside, so I've got the radio on for them for a bit of 'human' company. However, the aerial is broken and only has a stubby bit left on, you know, the bit with the other bit that turns it round. So, at the moment...

I need a pair of small speakers, (and amp) for my bedroom. Whats important is that they sound good at low volumes, and small enough to sit on the bedside table(s). Amplified speakers would be most practical, or a micro-amplifier. Any recommendations? Stuart.

Pink Floyd did a concert at Earls Court in ~1994 called Pulse, which included the whole of the DSOTM as well as other classics. Does anyone know if you can get this on DVD? I've seen it on VHS, but am after better sound quality. If not does anyone know if they plan to release it? Thank you

I've been looking for the Philips Streamium MC-i250 for some time and while Philips themselves swear that it was released in the UK in October, I can't find it anywhere. Philips' latest response to me on the phone was "Er, yeah, well, it's a fairly specialised unit, you may have problems finding it in the UK." Helpful. Does anybody have any suggestions where the best place to look for it would...

Anyone with any experience of these? I'm looking at the Yamaha and Sony models (both 80gb). I am particularly interested to know whether the drives can be taken out and upgraded to higher capacity ones. Any advice or comments welcome.

Hi fans, note! Go here, click 'Music', and click 'More' for album 'Twenty something'. http://www.jamiecullum.com/JCFrameset.htm Does anybody else have this album? I'd never heard of the guy until I saw him on BBC Four. I was amazed by how natural and mature his voice is given his years, and also by his ability to totally own the piano.

Does this transmit over standard phono cable or need a special type? Thanks... -- BWGames to email change de.news to de-news
