This group is officially pronounced dead. It died from an overdose of *******.

On an edition of HIGNFY there was some banter about what song to be played at ones funeral, apparently Robbie Williams "Angels" is current fave. But Jo Brand related how a friend of hers had gone out to an Elvis song... "Return to sender" Which I thought was a rather good choice. original post: "Phian" wrote in message ...

I've been fixing a Cambridge A60 - turned out to be nothing more than both speaker fuses blown. But thought I might as well check the quiescent current while I'm at it. And the method given in the manual is weird - replace the PS DC fuses with 15 ohm resistors and measure the voltage across them. Not having any high watt 15 ohm resistors to hand is there a different way? -- *Toilet stolen...

Just to let anyone who is interested know that I've finally collected enough 'round tuits' to produce publically available versions of the 'IQ Test' software. The programs can now be found at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/software/index.html (Just scroll down to near the bottom of the page to find the links to archived versions of the software.) The IQ Test lets you make very precise 'wow and...

Somebody has given me a pair of Mission 780se speakers. I've not had chance to try them or examine them properly but I have my doubts. Before I cart them home....are they worth taking ? Maybe as PC speakers, or what ?They are very small units but quite solid feeling. Description on the back is '2-way reflex, 6 ohm, 75 watt'

Probably because anyone glancing at it finds so many posts that have nothing to do with audio - like this one. OT topics can do quite well on an established group where the majority are about the basic subject. But it's a long time since that was the case here. -- *Why do we say something is out of whack?

I have some vinatge headphones (Sennheiser HD424) and want to attach a new plug. Which color wires are the positive ones? The colors in one of the leads are red & blue and in the other lead black & yellow. (No wire is used as screening - there's just two wires in each lead.)

The local Talking Newspaper has just gone digital, and as part of this has bought a yamaha mw12c mixer. Quite the wrong kit, imo, far too many knobs; but there you go. However, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the mixer. After some time of running, the sound becomes very distorted. Although I know for sure the waveform was badly clipped in places, the audible distortion /appeared/...

Any comments on the sound quality of this little 12 second movie? http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/showntell/SaxandMic.MOV

Hi, Recording large amount of audio always requires a proper selection of sampling frequency and bit rate to optimize storage and quality of the recording. A precise and more sophisticated approach is to use AQuA Wideband, but when you need a quick advice on what sampling rate and bit rate to use for your podcast, meeting recording, conference speech, audio book or other large amounts of audio...

Can you help identify the make/model of the triangular speakers in the recent BBC Arena documentary on George Martin? Here are some screen grabs showing the speakers. http://imgur.com/a/YIlQD#1Md6Y

Hi I was careless in transporting a pair of 3-way speakers. I am looking for a pair of 80mm/3" mid-range drivers to repair it, ideally 40W/16Ohm but I will take anything as long as the size matches. Regards, Chris

In my travels I've discovered a source of technical tests right here in the UK. It is the Miller Audio Research Avtech web site: http://www.milleraudioresearch.com/avtech/index.html Miller Reasearch is well-known for their heavy involvement with testing audio gear for jitter, but they also do most if not all of the classic tests.

Over the past month or so, we have seen a lot of the Air Max 95 basketball shoes. The sightings make complete sense as the NBA playoffs are ready to start . Ready to erase last year¡¯s disappointing early playoff exit, LeBron James and The Cleveland Cavaliers took the court at home to kick off their run at a NBA championship. In addition to trying to change his playoff fortunes, LeBron James...

Nothing much doing so I've posted the quick microphone comparison I mentioned recently. These are are a simultaneous sax recording with two different mics, one costing about 10X the price of the other: http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/showntell/MicA.wav http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/showntell/MicB.wav

Seems to be quite a collection at: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/analogueseduction/_i.html?_fsub=6767680 Any particular favourites? I had a Hunt EDA which was OK - but they're quite pricey nowadays. Thanks, Rob
