Anybody see the Magnequest Trolls that Mike LaFevre sent to cause trouble on RAT? What happened to Mike LaFevre, Jon Yaeger, Henry Pasternack, Peter Wieck, Phread and Emac, who were all telling lies about Andre just days ago? The Boss kicked them so hard, they crawled away to dine on the **** sandwich Jon Yaeger announced they would feed Andre.

I'm looking at fitting some speakers I have lying around to my car. The thing is, car headunits usually have wattage quoted for with 4ohm speakers. The speakers I have at 6 ohm. Is this going to lead to a noticeable lack of volume running a boggo head unit that nominally throws out 25-30WPC RMS, or am I just going to lose the top end of the range of clipped distorted car radio horribleness?

You really have to wonder. Here we have three self-proclaimed engineers claiming that Class A is an amplification Class in which "the output device(s)never cease conducting under any signal condition." The three "engineers" in question are Graham "Poopie" Stevenson, Don "Bluster" Pearce and Arny "I spoke in error" Krueger. Apparently they are perfectly unable to understand, after they have been...

I wonder if anyone has any experience of using this record cleaning machine. I had one, and was delighted with the results. Then, about a week after the guarantee expired, the motor for the turntable died. I contacted the retailer, who mentioned that Okki Nokki are no longer represented in the UK, making me wonder whether the machine has a tendency to break down and so no-one buys them...

Hi guys, My old two channel pre-amp has gone coo-coo. Time to go shopping. I am looking at Rotel as I am very happy with my existing CD player. Should I go for a integrated amp or should I go for a pre amp connected to a power amp? Please advice.

Due to the arrival of a baby last year my B&W 601 S3's on stands need to go.... Obviously I am thinking along the lines of the Bose acoustimas 5 however i have read mixed reviews. The speakers will be connected to a NAD 302BEE.

Has anybody any info on sound bars particularly the Denon models? Looks like a good and smart idea but will it work properly. Don't wish all the wires and speakers of normal 5.1 surround, medium living room 5 x 4 metres. Would this be ok? TIA..... Richie

I recently bought a Sony NWS706 MP3 player and have been transferring a few of my CD's to it via its own SonicStage software (I should mention here that I'm a complete beginner when it comes to MP3 and the like). I used ATRAC 64kbps at first, because my player only has 4Gbytes of memory, and I've lots of long works, like symphonies. The quality seems fine, but according to so many people I've...

I've got two amplifiers and I'd like to switch between them. At the moment I'm plugging/unplugging at the speakers. For reasons of cable management, convenience and neatness I'd like to use a switch. QED did one a while ago but it's discontinued, and replaced with a wall switch which is too 'embedded' for my liking, and pricey. I was having a look in Wickes for a suitable switch, and it...

Hi guys, I have had my adorable Project Debug III fitted with the Ortofon OM 5E. I am planning on moving up the ladder. After reading rave reviews of the 2M Red I am thinking of buying one. Its $120 here in Australia which is around my price range. The only concern I have is if my turntable and tonearm (project 8.6) will be handle this upgrade.

At the moment we have an old set of computer speakers running out of the line out from a walkman type cd player. The sound is awful and we need volume to get decent sound but I'm thinking the upstairs neighbours don't think much of this. Got the feeling that a decent set of speakers would mean we could get the clarity, separation and frequency response without needing volume... So, any...
