I've just picked up this vintage Sugden combo. Does anybody have any info on these amps. Sugden are on holiday until the 11-8-03 thx

I've been out of the hifi loop for a while now and I wanted to find out the group's recommendations on small monitor speakers. It has to be under 250 gbp and fill a medium sized room (16x8m). I have a REL Storm so something that's bass light is no problem, I can have the REL fill what's missing. It should be clean and neutral though through the mids and highs. Richer Sounds is selling Mission...

It's about time I got spikes for my sub. It don't vibrate much cos its such a heavy bugger, but coupling can only improve the sound, right? The sub already has the inserts. I've looked around. Richer have some for a fiver but out of stock, every other site I try only has magic spikes for £35 or more. And GOLD PLATED speaker *SPIKES*... man, who buys this stuff?! --

I noticed this: Thorsten's in the UK "You can make a ultra-low-noise MC-amp with discrete JFET's such as 2SK170 or 2SK389 (double-JFET) They are remarkably easy to work with, and much less scope for screwing up things as with opamps.

Hi. Before I post can I please, *please* make a request, based on what a week and a bit of lurking seems to suggest about the atmosphere round here; I'd like to get a budget turntable and a CD player, because there's music only available on each format which I want to play. Please, could the vinyl addicts and the vinyl bashers lay off each other in this thread? I'd be ever-so-grateful. :-) Now...

SETs are old news.

Hello, I have a brand new Sony STRDB1070 6.1 Dolby Digital amplifier for sale. Looking for £280ono. Thanks, Tim

Now that the new uk.rec.audio.vinyl newsgroup is off to a good start (no small miracle in itself as it appears no-one much can access it yet) the time has come for me to consider my own options. Assuming I ever get to see it on my own Provider's list (or news.cis.dfn.de/news.individual.net ever get back to me with my lost login details) I think it is time to ask myself the 'should you be...

recording engineers still choose a mic for how it sounds, not for accuracy Maybe what sounds good to them IS in fact 'accurate' to them. Maybe tubes are exactly the same - musicians choose them for how they sound, and because that sound is 'accurate' to their ears.

Anyone any comment to make on these turntables, i've read some favourable reviews ?

Can I send the " centre " channel output from my DTS preamp processor to a Cyrus 1 integrated amplifier to utilise the power amps in the Cyrus.? I was wondering this as I would like to use my old Cyrus 1 as a centre channel poweramp instead of buying another poweramp. If I adjust the volume control on the Cyrus to a reference volume on my processor & leave the Cyrus volume set at this would the...
