I have a Virgin media TV box with HDMI output to the the television, can I get an Amp to go in between to output sound to speakers then the tv signal up to the TV? I only have the one HDMI output on the Virgin box. Thanks Alan --

I'm back on the music storage/player thing and keep going round and round in circles. Basically, what I want is a NAS with built in web based music player and digital stereo out. Does such a thing exist? I know you can get media players but I don't need or want any video playing options and I don't want dolby 5.1 digital out, I want stereo digital out to feed my DAC. I've looked at the...

I was using a dynamic with most of my specifications, and after five years, it finally fell on the floor too many times. The cord was so long that I had it twisted in what I call a loopback braid (fold a cord at two points; running three ways, then weave one strand in a figure eight between the other two). That braid actually reduces resistance, somehow, because I need to turn up my volume if...

Having finally succumbed to a new pair of loudspeakers (Quad ESL 2805), I now have a pair of black Quad electrostatics (ESL 57) for sale. However, I only have a vague idea as to what would be a fair price for these. There do not seem to be many of them sold these days in the usual places, like EBay, and asking prices of the few I have seen have varied greatly. I have had the speakers for...

Hi, Just to let people know that I've now put the results of my examination of using the 320k iPlayer stream onto the web. There are two pages at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/BBC/XHQ/TimeTravel.html http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/BBC/XHQ/MoreIsLess.html Slainte,

Electric proms in HD sound now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/electricproms/2010/ -- Ken O'Meara http://www.btinternet.com/~unsteadyken/

I have recently been involved in a string quartet recording. It has been a challenging project. Everyone was delighted with the performance and the sound on the production master which was sent to a CD plant in the UK for 1:1 duplication. When a run of 500 copies is required, a glass master normally needs to be made for replication. The client gave permission for this to be done by the CD...

Keith, whose ISP no longer provides a NG feed, sends his regards to one and all at UKRA. and asks me to write the following: If you are still posting, could you mention on ukra I have got several hundred LPs (approx 50 shelf inches worth) ready to go if anyone is interested and can collect from St Neots - a mixture of 'classical', G&S, Pink Floyd, Shows and Film Music, Simon & Garfunkel &c. &c....

Another several bubbling mud and 5 minute silences over the last few weeks on CFM/DAB Radio has had me harvesting eBay for Technics ST-GT350 FM Chooners and I now have 3 of them!! OK, one of the extras has got an immediate home, the other one is available if anyone wants it. Price to me (ten quid postage in each case) was 3.95 and 2.70 respectively - distressingly cheap. (Both these units...

Just to let people know... I've now started putting copies of my electronics pages onto the audiomisc website, and have started providing a version in PDF format. I'll add more pages and updates later. The first set of pages are at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Electronics/audio/Analog.html I've also just put some new software on

This link to a video of an audio jumble sale was posted on a DIY NG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpVm_WtABH4 Thought it might be of passing interest to some. I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind something like that up here up North. Not quite so sure about the mains leads evenings :-) Rob

Some good news in the Telegraph today - DAB listening is declining and FM is increasing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8090803/Digital-radio-switchover-never-likely-as-listening-levels-fall-figures-show.html Given that the new government don't seem to have much enthusiasm for DAB either, I wonder when it will be switched off to free the spectrum for something useful? Paul

Not sure if I am previous in mentioning this. But IIUC the BBC are now announcing that they plan to make the XHQ 320kb/s stream permanently available as 'HD Radio' for Radio 3 listeners to the iPlayer. Slainte, Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

This is my own personel subjective opinion on the issue of the aesthetics of expensive audio hardware. There are many who feel the "hi-end" is worth every penny, but I'm not one of those. Back in the good old days if we do a correlation with the auto world, we could find the audio equivalent of a Corvette Stingray, A Bentley Azure, Jensen Interceptor, or an Aston Martin DB5. Something that had...

I'm looking for comments on music libraries....alternatives to storing hundreds of CDs next to my player. I've seen some hardware solutions containing an HD and sometimes complete with audio amps and even speakers. Then there are more software oriented solutions, often PC based with output via soundcard. I'm currently using a vintage CD player made by Philips. It works OK despite some...
