Some input on an idea... Have the cd transport feed a DSP, which uses fourier transforms to split the audio about some crossover frequency, this is then sent a four channel DAC and a four channel amplifier (possibly bi-amped stereo) and out to the high/low speaker drivers. The point is more manipulation of the signal is applied to the robust digital stage, rather than delicate analogue....

I've found out that my Gemini PT-2000 has a tonearm mass of 9g, which is lower than the Technic SL1200's 12g. Does this qualify it as a high mass tonearm, therefore making carts such as the Ortofon 510 or 520, with their high dynamic compliance of 25 µm/mN, or the OM 5E (20 µm/mN), unsuitable for use with this tonearm? (in which case, can I assume I'd be better of with something like the Ortofon...

Hi, Does anyone have any experienceof CD cleaning discs? How do they work? Are they 'risky' in anyway? Do they do any good? The reason I ask is that I recently got a new (used, but new to me). It's an Arcam Alpha 8SE. It plays regular CDs fine, but I had a problem with a CD-R that I had made in my PC. After a bit of fiddling I made another copy of it, which worked. The

My Mission Cyrus 2 Amplifier has died, well, the little light still comes on, but no sound comes out. What I'd like to know is, can anyone recommend a good (UK) repairer, or is it worth me sending it back to the manufacturer to get it mended. Also, if I am to send it back to the manufacturer - is it Mission, or Cyrus? Thom

Hi, Does anyone know some links regarding old Nakamichi, Philips, Revox and Sony hi-fi equipment? I'm especially interested in information and pictures about tangential record decks and reel-to-reel tape recorders. Regards, Klaus

Greetings all I've been reading through this and other forums with the hope I can resolve my earth buzzing problems. Alas I have been without luck, so let me tell you my woes and hopefully somebody out there can help me. Please be gentle, I am new to all this!

Dual *anything* to a fixed price will always be a compromise, or would you have preferred to buy a dual cassette deck as opposed to 2 single ones? How about an all in one hifi system?

Or are all components used in these devices all of standard quality...
