Hallo to everyone,excuse for my english but i'm from itali. I'm goingo to buy a new hi-fi and i like Linn CLASSIK or a chain NAD C350,C541i,C420. I've listened both,and probably LINN sounds bettere,you undertand that is another level,but i've to consider that is not too powerful. I want to replace my speaker B&W dm601s2 with a pair of Dynaudio audionce52 or 42,but my delares told me that if i...

Hi all, I was emptying my loft over the weekend prior to a house move and came across my old Lecson FM1 tuner. It's a match for the AC1/AP3 pre/power amp combination that is better known, but it's the only one I've ever seen. I no longer have the amps, but I would like to see if anyone knows anything about the tuner, like how many were made, servicing etc. The tuner dial needs a new pot - but...

I've currently got a stereo system consisting of a Marantz PM 6010 OSE amp, a Sony CDP-XE 570 CD player and Tannoy MX2-M speakers. I now want to move into home cinema a bit as well, so am planning to expand on this by buying a multi-channel receiver, a DVD player and matching (Tannoy MXR & MXC) surround speakers. For the receiver, I'm thinking primarily about the Marantz SR4300, but I'm wondering...

I was searching for some subs for sale online to get an idea of the price range. Now audio wanted 375 for one 15" 15W3. I was wondering what's the difference in the models and how the perform from each other. I'm asking because I havent found a place yet that has these subs and an amp working at the same time, and I cant listen to them for myself, i'm all bad luck at the moment. The subs are ....

hello folks on the Google catalogs, Bose have theirs there, anyway there's a nice picture of the Wave radio with the top removed, from the pic its seems only the left channel has the TL tunnel !!! I suppose for the extra bass that's all you need, or doe sit have a top tunnel for the right channel in the top halve of the casing. if anybody has taken one to bits, could they enlighten me. regards...

Anyone come across an exponentially tapered transmission line, apart from the B&W Nautilus? It looks like it would be an amusing project. An infinite length exponential taper has a finite internal volume so all I need is to find a wall material with zero thickness :-) Roger.

Having just pulled my Dynaco MK III monos ( http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keith_g/eighthpic.jpg ) back into service after a break of a few months, I'm still absolutely amazed* at the sound quality from an amplifer design which is slowly grinding its way to being 50 years old! (Even when fed by a lowly Debut deck through an EAR834P/L combo into a pair of CDM1SEs.....) The question is: When...

Anyone know where I can get some extra long high quality leads? I need scart to scart, s-video to scart and audio. They need to be 6.5m long. I'm looking for the type of quality that Ixos do - proper plugs etc.

Just a quick note about a new newsgroup that might be of interest to some people who use this group. The group is called alt.music.home- studio. The group has been created for the discussion of issues relating to home recording for musicians. Home Hi-Fi audio isn't ontopic in alt.music.home-studio but as they are related subjects, I assumed that some of the people that hang out here might be...

I've just retrieved from the loft my old TD160Mk11. Ah, a nice renovation project I thought, until I switched it on and remembered why it was in the loft. The motor is noisy - a little 'hummy' and a clicking noise very evident with or without torque applied. Probably the bearings. I'd still like to have a go at renovation - new lid and plinth, bitumen here bitumen there etc., but it would be...

This micro has bi-wireable speakers. Can i use this unit with my Missiopn (non-biwireable pseakers) also, can I use the panasonic speakers with my home cinema system (it has a Yamaha 5540 amp)?

Hello again guys. Having just about decided what my direction is regarding my choice of Hi-Fi I was wondering if the Linn K20 cable is any good or can better be had for similar wonga? After following loads of advice here I have decided to go for the Linn Classik Movie Di with Linn Katan's as front main speakers, Linn Trikan centre speaker, Linn Sizmik 10 bass unit and Linn Unique rear speakers.

Hi All, the connection has gone at the 2.5mm jack end of the cable on my HD200 headphones. Having had a search on the web for replacement parts, the best price for a replacement cable I could find was about £25 from www.strachan-direct.co.uk. Can anyone recommend anywhere cheaper, or is that about as good as I'm going to get? Cheers, S.

Can people let me know their views on setting up a Teac Reference 300 system, as a beginner's separates system. My local store is doing a good deal on the basis that it is "discontinued". Is it likely to have a good few years life, or do people think it is "inadequate"? What's the main difference between the Reference 300 and Reference 500 components? As far as I can see the only difference...
