Has anyone here tried the Echo Layla 24/96 audio/MIDI interface unit on a Via EPIA MII12000 mainboard? If so, what did you see when you tried?

I have a Dell Latitiude 410 laptop and a Panasonic Viera LED TV. I can use a VGA cable to get an excellent picutre from the Dell on the TV - what do I need to do to get the sound across also? Thanks Gordon

Hello, I would like your opinions on how to go about connecting up a PC to my pre-amp. The computer is in a different room from the amp and at the moment I have simply connected a minijack plug from sound card (SB5.1) to din socket on amp in next room. I would like to improve on this and have come up with a few options and would like your comments. 1. Get new sound card with digital out...

I'd be interested to know if anyone here has in recent years returned any audio kit back to a UK maker for service/repair. And if so, how long the process took, was the job done well, etc... Asking because I've sent something back for service/adjustment/repair and it seems to be taking longer than I'd expected. Back in ye olde days at Armstrong we generally fixed/serviced sets sent back in no...

I just installed my Presonus Inspire on my revitalized Windows 7 Professional evaluation machine, and frankly see no beef. I seem to recall reports of some issues - I'd like to try to recreate them.

I have acquired the Sennheiser wireless phones and am very pleased with the quality. Thanks for the input. I have another question. Wife and I would like to be able to listen to BBC radio iPlayer in our bedroom, but the computer is elsewhere. I have a couple of spare speakers - small Onkyos. Is there any way that I can drive these wirelessly from the computer - it is hooked up to my NAD...

Hi, I have a moderate ( old ) set-up involving a NAD 3120 amp + NAD 4130 tuner + Arcam alpha 7 cd + Rega planar 3 Deck + B&W DM 602 s3 speakers. I have been mulling over introducing an iPod into the system but don't really know where to begin. I've looked around but just get lost! I have also thought a bit about upgrading the whole setup altogether but tbh it does a reasonable job at the...

I need to knock up some stereo (domestic) line level amps with a gain of 0-10dB. Using a +/-15 volt supply. Anything better than the ol' NE 5543 for this these days? -- *I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Now following on from my pure Sonus 1 thread I kind of wondered what the station IDs actually are. Many are now completely incorrect of course, but if it does not understand the station name, its supposed to spell it. Now some do and yet some have the old names attached. For example there are still Primetime, Virgin, No Access, Capital Gold Classic Gold etc spoken, even though the stations...

Hmm, well, I got my Sonus 1 XT back from this company, supposedly fixed the other day. It has lost two rubber feet in its travels and although the note says no parts were used, its clearly in a different case to the one I sent. Now it ran for around a day before it started acting up again. Seems to me it has internal logic trouble. its been reflashed with the latest firmware, but this has not...

Have we all stopped arguing? May I ask a question? What's the best way to check if a power amp is likely to be stable into a capacitive load such as an ESL? I could put a 2uF cap on the output and look at the output on a scope while feeding it with a square wave. But is it likely to damage anything if the amp fails the test? One old Rotel amp has a warning in the manual against capacitive...

Can anyone identify this 1960s (?) recording, a few phrases of which were used in the British TV series Heartbeat? http://www.kolumbus.fi/iain.churches/Music/Unknown.mp3 Iain

Anyone know where I can buy small quantities of cable similar to the stuff used for iPod ear phones?

Went to an antiques fair today and found this, which was clearly irresistible. Made in 1880, it is a lauten - a cross between a lute and a guitar, and it sounds brilliant. http://www.soundthoughts.co.uk/look/lauten.jpg d

What's around these days which is small but good? High levels not required. Some sort of present day Goodmans Maxim. ;-) -- *There's two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

I know a few people here have fine collections of LPs so hopefully some one will be able to help me out. I am looking for LPs by Arturo Motta, a Latin American band leader from the 1950s. If anyone here has any vinyl by this orchestra, I would very much like to borrow/rent it for transcription.

The Korg G4 Leslie simulator arrived today, and I've been messing about to get a feel for the sounds it can produce. Here's a very meandering mess-about with a two-chord backing and improvised 'melody' (ie, somewhat random series of notes)... http://www.melodolic.com/Music/HammondTest-02.mp3 Same deal with recording - straight into the minidisc unit, then dumped into the PC using the minidisc...
