I have some MP3 files which I want to play on my domestic CD player. Please, can some kind soul tell me what format I should convert them to for this to happen? -- Alasdair.

Hi everyone , I am unable to find any information or data on a model of ouput transformer made by R.F.GILSON Ltd. Wimbledon. I have found a pair of these in a clearance bin a flee market here in Montréal , (Québec). They appear to have never been used. WO 892 hand written on each (possibly a model or part number ?) PP U.L (A & SC terminals on a paxolin board) 3.7 / 7 / 15 Ohms at output. If...

Anyone have, or know where I can obtain, a service manual for an Audiolab 8000M power amp?

Can anyone tell me if a radio that has a United States 110 Volt AC plug on it can be used in the UK? Years ago I bought a radio alarm-clock with a 110 Volt AC plug on it in Far East and I have been using it here in the UK for the last ten years. However, I have just turned it over and looked at it carefully and on the back it states: power supply 110 Volts - 220 Volts. The machine I want to...

A kitchen refit means that my existing Mission wall-mounted speakers, which I feed from my hi-fi via a speaker switch box, are too large. Has anybody had good experience with either ceiling, or very small wall-mount speakers? A sub-woofer is out of the question, by the way. Chris --

Does anyone know the best way to convert wma and ogg files to something iTunes can handle? There is: http://www.easywma.com/ and its ilk, but I'm not sure how it goes about it. In the past I've converted the files 'up' to wav, and then 'down' to the

Hi Guys, you've been really helpful in the past with audio problems, can you help me out with this one, please? Am really flummoxed with all the media reports of the digital change-over. Can anyone tell me if FM and AM radio are definitely going to be killed, i.e. completely, when the "digital change-over" happens? Here I am in 2008 needing to buy a NEW bedside radio, but we live in South West...

Just to let people know that I have recently added a couple of pages on Jim Sugden's work to the audiomisc website. One page is in the J. E. Sugden section, and has some photos of early models. The other is in the 'Hi Fi News' section and is a version of the article on Sugden which they published last year. Slainte, Jim

I would be interested to buy good second-hand VU meters by Ernest Turner or Sifam. Ernest Turner http://www.kolumbus.fi/iain.churches/Pics/VU/ErnestTurner702.jpg Sifam http://www.kolumbus.fi/iain.churches/Pics/VU/SIFAM_AL20.jpg

I've been sent some .mp3 files that claim to be 320 kbps but they sound pretty ropey. Is there any way I can detect if they've been re-encoded from a lower bitrate? TIA

If ever there was a great album crying out for a re-master, this is it. I've always found it suffers congestion and poor dynamics, particularly on "All The Love Of The Universe" (the greatest track, IMHO). Finding this on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A2I1B - I ordered a copy. It arrived today and I find it's exactly the same as the bog-standard cd issue I bought 4...

There were a number of very interesting new releases on vinyl last year. One of the most important of these is the double album "Ray Sings, Basie Swings",which is especially significant because it sounds like a genuine collaboration, although it never actually took place. The vocals were "peeled off" from tapes of some Ray Charles' recorded concerts given in Germany and in London during the...

Just come back from my local B&Q by Wandsworth Bridge, and notice they have DAB aerials in their 'one pound' section. It's an external mount folded dipole type with F-type connector on the aerial. Complete with wall mounting and 10m cable. Not the highest quality I'm sure but maybe the best value anywhere? -- *If only you'd use your powers for good instead of evil.
