The same kind of problem existed in the former Yugoslavia.
Ooh-la-la, Poopie! We had no idea what you are really up to, you fox!
Look at these ebay feedbacks:

ITU Weighting Curves by
Iain Churches[_2_]
Does anyone here have copies of the
ITU-R 468 or ITU-R ARM ??
They are similar but ITU-R ARM is a later
Dolby Labs proposal which moves
the whole curve 1kHz to the right.
TIA

OK, as it is quiet again (V8s and School Milk OT posts notwithstanding)
I thought I'd post this set of 'quick and dirty' windchime clips:

Williamson by QUAD? by
Steve[_3_]
Recently, I found a great old amplifier. It was made in Britain and
imported into the US by British Radio Electronics, Ltd. Here are
pictures of it and ads about it.
http://public.fotki.com/farleybob/williamson/
It has two chassis and when I first saw them from a distance, I
thought they were a pair of QUAD II's. Then I thought they just
knocked off the QUAD look, but the amp was released in...

How the Krooborg treasures and nurtures "audio discussions" ;-) by
George M. Middius
Poopie, you get the blame for enabling Turdborg. We all know he has a
problem, and this kind of Kroo-baiting doesn't help him deal with it.
That's a key point that audio obsessives and golden ear journalists don't
want to admit.
Doesn't stop good money being spent after bad to try to obtain it. I find it
ironic that so many subjectivsts tout their disdain for measurements and
then...

Heathrow Sound and Vision Show 21-3 Sept. by
Andy Evans
Just to add to the confusion, the Heathrow Sound and Vision Show -
which last year ran parallel with the HiFi News show - is in fact at
the Park Hotel this year, 21-23 Sept.
See www.chestergroup.org for exhibitors.
So addicts of vinyl, BritFi and earthquake films on wide screens will
have their fix after all.

Perpetuum Ebner (PE 2015) repair help needed by
pelfad
I am trying to repair a PE 2015 but cannot remove the turntable from
the base frame to get inside.
The main two problems are as follows:
1) The armlift will not move high enough to lift the arm. I have
given
it a little oil which has helped, but it is still not lifting high
enough to move the arm over to the play position..

The Port Arthur Massacre by

Mr Andrew MacGregor will soon prove that the Australian government
was behind the Port Arthur Massacre
And why are you posting this in an audio group.

Hi-Fi news show? by
Stevie Boy
Does anybody know why there is not a show at Heathrow this year?
Agreeably the last 2 years has seen a clash of 2 events on the same
weekend..... is this a reason to decide not to host the show? Seems a shame
as it does not look like the current Sound & Vision show is going to
accomadate all the usual visitors to Hi-Fi news show.

Peter Wieck, Kutztown Space 338, Thief, Stalker, Liar by
Andre Jute
It's amazing that the Kutztown organizers rent space to a man with the
reputation of Peter Wieck of Wyncote, PA. He is a notorious hoarder
and profiteer, and a netflamer and netstalker of anyone who exposes
him. His immorality, his stealing, his stalking and his lying has
earned him the contemptuous nickname "Worthless Wiecky" on the Usenet.
Don't the Kutztown organizers know this?

Phantom power by
Keith G
A number of days/week or three ago the topic of phantom power 'damaging'
mics was mentioned by me and I couldn't recall where I'd seen it. Here
it is:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk:80/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320122579983&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNASIF:UK:12
The wording also suggests a certain vulnerabilty in certain areas ('air
blasts') - is this normal??

The wonderful Leak Stereo 20 revisited. by
Andy Evans
I've been building balanced amps with directly heated triodes for at
least a year now, so I hadn't heard a Leak for ages. As luck would
have it my pal Ian's Leak needed a service, so I took it home to have
a look.
This was I believe the first of the "Russian Leaks" that we built.
Chris Found and I took several weeks over the revised circuit, and
ended up with a 6N30 direct coupled into a 6N1P....

Bodger's return: makers of beech furniture? by
Andre Jute
In "The Piano Factory", a novel by Jonathan Davies, I came across
another derivation for a Bodger as someone who knocks things up in a
makeshift way. Bodger's according to Davies was a firm that made cheap
beech furniture.
Ring any bells?

PC Sound - TV - Cables by
judith
I need to connect sound card output to TV input - what I needs is
35mm stereo male to 2 x phono male (RCA).
But I want them to be about twenty feet long. I haven't actually
found any as long as that - but if I do, I bet they will be twenty
five quidish or even more.
I am thinking of using the correct plugs with small tails and then
connect them to twenty feet of twisted pairs or similar - just...

Support for freedom of religion or support for religiously inspired limitations

If you're referring to animal rights, it's about time we corralled all the

SACDs by
Malcolm Stewart
I've recently bought a player capable of playing SACDs. Are there any
"bricks and mortar" shops (London, Oxford or Cambridge areas - the term
isn't recognised locally) where I can browse for suitable media? (Am
currently building a small collection via the internet.)
Thanks
