"Jim Lesurf" I got my latest copy of 'Stereophile' yesterday and started to read it. ** For God's sake man - WHY ????? I came across comments by Paul Messenger about some work that Russ Andrews and Ben Duncan have recently put onto the web. This seems to be

I have 2 x B&W DM620i loudspeakers (8 Ohm, 25-100 Watt continu), which I paln to use as frontspeakers. Also I have 2 x Magnat project 4.1 loudspeakers type 2 (4-8 Ohm, 140-250 Watt), which I intend to use as rearspeakers. also I have 2 x Sony S-SE 455 V loudspeakers (8 Ohm, 200 W) with centerspeaker Sony SSC-CN55 (8 Ohm, 200 Watt).

Radio 4 right now (3:00 to 3:30) for a history of early recording.

The cables, interconnects, mains leads and speaker wires in these carrier bags: http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/DSC_3094.JPG ....are 'spares' and were up in my loft, but I have cleared that out and they have been heaped in my garage as you can see. Now, all I have to do is sort them out and chuck what I don't want to keep.... :-)

.....round the various 'audio' newsgroups.... .....very interesting to see who's posting where; who's all over 'audio usenet' like a coat of paint and, more interestingly, which *individual* doesn't seem to post in any of the 'tech' or 'pro' groups but prefers to bang on endlessly about his 'industry experience' only here - where there were once a few ordinary, non-pro *hifi...

Is anyone here still using AKG C451 mics, or remembers using them? I've had my 4 for some time but am becoming more and more aware of a low level hum on the output. The hum gets worse the more of them that are plugged in to the mixer. If only one is faded up, the hum gets worse as others are plugged in. At first I thought the phantom power supply was giving trouble but I have now tried them...

Well OK, that's what my mate SN says on the basis that he bumped into a friend buying vinyl in a charity shop at the same he (SN) was buying vinyl in the same charity shop! :-) Actually, he does say that more people are mentioning it in the shop lately and buying needles - which they apparently do rather a lot of! (There was summat else interesting/relevant he said that I would have...

I'm having a purge and have this mic amp which someone gave to me: http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/AMP01-01.jpg http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/AMP01-02.jpg I have never used it (too big and cumbersome) and don't know if it even works, although I can't see why it shouldn't. Anyhow, does anybody recognise it (Google comes up with zilch) and, if so,

I posted a request for amp recommendations recently (post since deleted, so I can't append), but don't bother now, I have grabbed a nice little Denon PMA-510 from the local shop - which should do what I want without too much fuss (heat). Waiting for it to be delivered as I speak - I wuz on me 'bike and there's a 120" projection screen also, anyway! Anyway, I know nothing about them and...

Toshiba Satellite laptop Vista Business Sibelius 5 installed plus JABB On this machine I use the ASIO4ALL driver, currently v2.9. This makes playback using Kontakt Player 2 acceptable. In Playback Devices I attempt to activate KP2 and the JABB soundset. Error message "Installation folder is not writable, select a folder now". If I select any folder, all appears good. But no playback

This is the ukra Charter: http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.rec.audio.html (Allegedly...) I have a few questions: Can anyone point to the bit that says Poochie's ****y little recording job

Got an 'interesting' fault on an ancient Linsey Hood amp. Switch on a light etc, and sometimes *one* channel bursts into loud mains hum - but carries on working. And the output transistors get very hot. It's not normally susceptible to mains born interference - so any guesses before I rip it apart? Both channels seem to match ok before this happens. -- *I almost had a psychic girlfriend but...

I was thinking about doing some dummy head recording and the effect on frequency response of using an electret capsule in a model of an ear, compared to just placing it on the surface of a head-sized sphere. Any thoughts before I start moulding body parts in plaster? -- Eiron.

** One for the tape gurus ..... See ABSE under same heading for close up pic of a quarter inch play head from a Roland tape echo machine - the other two play heads and the record head look just the same. A. What the heck happened ? B. What is the easiest way to re-surface the heads ?

Science is over. That's why there appears to be nothing to talk about, save for the munching of tedious detail, which is just more nothing to talk about. This is where analysis got us in the end. Now, if analysis is the fount of all we feel able to call knowledge, we know everything. Anyone who wants to "stir things up" and also stay on topic must think of a valid new perspective, and...

Just to let people know that I've now put up a webversion of the second article I did on Loudspeaker Cables for HFN. This one is called "Ohm and Away" and is now linked from the main Audiomisc page. I've been told that the third article will (finally!) appear in the issue of HFN that comes out at the end of this month. The third article has the measured results for various cables, and is...

I posted a while ago about a rattle from one of my Dynaudio Contour 1.1 speakers. It was a bass unit - the guy (Moorgate Acoustics, Sheffield) didn't know what had gone wrong. It was broken, needed replacing, so he replaced it. £130. One of the irritations of Dynaudio - they won't sell direct to owners. As for pair matching (only one was replaced) he said they were within tolerance, and...
