Brennan JB7 Does anyone have experience (or comments) on this? On the face of it looks ideal for my needs - copies CDs but much more importantly allows me to record my LPs from my own turntable and pre-amp, unlike those godawful machines frequently advertised in the mass media.. Also has a 60wpc power amp built in which would do me very nicely. For a bit south of 400 quid it seems too...

Dear Marge. It's not fair, I never get to hear this bubbling mud on DAB that everyone raves about. Perhaps it's my own fault for stupidly using an external DAB dipole to receive the following ensembles here in NN17 land.

Hi, its strange. I spent over an hour on the pure web site and never came across this info, just went around in circles, and as I sy, the only way to get messages to them meant filling out a picture capture thingy that blind folk cannot do of course. No sign of an audio version and I'd have given them a piece of my mind for that if I could have. Brian -- Brian Gaff....Note, this account...

Interesting insight into the way things were in the 60s - I've just been reading a Wireless World from November of that year. Valves (tubes for those across the pond) were extremely cheap. And transistors cost pretty much the same, which is why we treated them with kid gloves and thermal shunts when soldering them into circuits. http://www.soundthoughts.co.uk/look/valves.jpg Money conversion...

Hi All, I was laying out a pcb tonight for a line amplifier using a tool called PCB Wizard (a good little tool) and reminiscing to myself how I used to do it in the past using black tape and a scalpel onto clear film. Despite the ability of PCB Wizard to autoroute etc., I still prefer to lay the track out myself. As well as the obvious topological challenge, I was trying to wonder why...

Brian, I was interested in your impressions of "electronic stereo" particular with regard to popular music, as it was sometimes done in the 60's and 70's I have now found the demo file, made many years ago, to which I referred in the other thread. It is divided into three segments, with clear gaps between each.

Came across this on another newsgroup: http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3864:rca-student-radically-improves-the-uk-plug - Seems just the thing to at least start to tidy up the plug/socket proliferation I have - 11 at the TV/hifi for example. ISTR something similar for low current appliances - is it still made?

"Tony Houghton" wrote in message ... I'd like to make some recordings, maybe transferring some gems from my vinyl collection to digital etc. I'm wondering whether I should use a better sound card than the onboard sound.

Anyone here with 'mic savvy' who can say if the tech spec on the valve mic I've just bought is OK?

I have a number of (predominantly jazz) mono albums I want to 'digitise' and they present me with an interesting dilmma - whether to record them as 'dual mono' or 'mono mono'..?? So, is there any convention or meaningful reason why they should not be recorded as 'dual mono' if I choose, or indeed is there any merit in recording them thus?? One thing I notice is the spitchy bits (no cleaning...

I was listening to some Haydn the other evening. It sounded crap. The soundstage was artificially wide with poor localization. The vocals were muddled and lost in the orchestra. Some very sour noises coming from somewhere - there was so much reverberation that the previous few notes must have been interfering with the current one. After a small adjustment, things were perfect - I got up and...

I have been struggling to hear much (any) difference between flac and 320kbps mp3 files pulled from the free downloads on the Naim website. but then I also found that the max frequency I can here is more like 11,000 Hz compared with the 15,500 Hz I could hear in the 60s. It would appear that I am not alone in not being able to tell the...

Happened across this by chance (as you do) on my 'travels' this morning and although I'm not a nostalgia freak for nostagia's sake, this punched so many buttons for me I thought I'd post it here! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1kye7_charlie-kunz-casani-club-orchestra1_music It's very *Iain* isn't it?

All this palaver and whining about 'OT' means I won't bother to mention the following - simply because of the sheepish lack of response from anyone here other than the *omnipresent* Net Nazis who would squeal like stuck pigs but who will also significantly fail to fill the void with anything other than possibly a little self-approved blogging of their own (new webpages, wiring the...
