Hi all, never posted in here before but seems you might be able to help. I'm looking for an MP3 player to use with an FM transmitter in my car and occasionally an external speaker via the earphone socket. Not headphones. Both of the aforementioned devices benefit from a player with a high output volume.

OK, it's bit early yet (need a dozen decent trax) but I think we should be considering our options: http://www.discmanufacturingservices.com/vinyl-prices.htm Note not much of a price difference between standard and heavyweight black vinyl in printed sleeves with inner bags...?? Any 'artwork' people here?

Any Mac users here who can point me straight the no-question best (free would be nice) audio recording software for my Mac mini? I downloaded Audacity the other day but took fright from the look of it and unloaded it again, but might give it another go if anyone told me it was the best option...?? TIA.

-- You could install-it-yourself if you work around car before. The theory is simple! You waste lots of energies through brake frictions that can't be avoided in order to brake effectively. Now there is a device that allows you to avoid those frictions, this device adds a strong friction back when you need to brake, when you don't need to brake your car runs freely without any drag. A...

Posted in the spirit of a *no fees will be paid*/*no invitation to to tender for a consultancy contract exists or is being offered*, amateur/hobbyist enquiry* only does anybody disagree the ribbon mic beats the Oktava for the alto sax** in these 'near identical' (simultaneously recorded and edited, but not level matched) clips?

Anyone know who imports/sells the Alps 40mm detent pots in the UK? I've been trying to find out via google but not found anyone who does these as stereo 'log law' pots, and sell small quantities or one-off. FWIW I still have some pots for my own use. But one of the projects I'm working on may involve one, and I might then want to publish details so readers can make something similar if they...

My record player sounds pretty good, on the whole (it's a Linn Basik with Linn arm and cartridge that I got about 17 or 18 years ago). However, on some records, it can sound a bit glassy. I don't know if that's the right word. In louder passages - especially towards the end of a side, I *think* - sustained notes seem to have a brittle edge to them. Because nearly all of my vinyl records are...

Anyone here of a 'certain age' and into renting movies might be interested to rent the very enjoyable 'The Boat That Rocked': http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131729/ At least an OK little comedy (if a little *Brit*) set onboard a North Sea pirate radio station in the 60s. Overdone and underdone in all the right places, I think it captures the 'zeit' fairly well with plenty of lovely 60s...

Some time before Christmas, Don made an interesting comment in that he was "surprised that the AKG C1000s was still in production due to its poor reputation" The AKG C1000s is as a budget level condenser mic ("condensor" for Arny) and, according to the dealer I spoke to, one of their strongest selling lines. So who buys them, and for what purpose?

My subwoofer picks up. Mobile phones, radar pulses, clicks and bangs on the mains and occasionally short wave radio. The very short speaker wires from amp to speaker in the box appear to be the culprits for the higher frequencies, and the input leads the way in for the rest, except The mains borne crap. It has a three core mains lead of the iec variety, but its only been doing

I had to put a new psu in a machine over the Christmas, and now notice the bog standard Soundblaster live card seems to be outputting a kind of gurgling whine which varies and kind of sounds likt e sort of low level interference you get on some weaker fm stations. I guess the crud removal in the psu is crap, but the thing is,does anyone do a kind of gadget you can plug the motherboard power...

Hello, I recently acquired a pair of Dynaudio floorstanders and have inherited a Primare A30.2 power amp. I have an old hand-me-down Denon AVR 3300 (used to be top-of-the-line back in its day), which I am planning to use as a preamplifier. At the moment, I'm using a cheap source - a Samsung DVD player DVDHD870. I am wondering whether I should I the DVD player's onboard DAC and run an...

I need (OK, want) some white phono cables, but white seems to be reserved either for ludicrously expensive iPod phono leads, or for white versions of the semi-disposable 49p leads. White versions of the kind of thing that seems to sell for between £5 and £10 online would be OK. Who makes and sells them, if anyone? Or alternatively, some kind of white duct for the black phono leads

Hi, I've just put up a new web page at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/HFN/SquareDeal/SquareDeal.html that looks at the use of squarewaves for assessing amplifiers, etc. Prompted to do this by noticing squarewave results being used to present ideas about speaker cables, and realising that the humble squarewave has

Suppose you have a simple pot divider consisting of two equal value resistors, say 10K each. Across the upper one you connect a series LC circuit that resonates at 3KHz or thereabouts. If you drive this network from a low impedance source and plot the response across the bottom resistor, the Q of the resulting peak is not the Q of the series LC but rather is determined by the pair of LC...
