Has anyone ever heard or used one of these? They are made by Gerry Wells of the British Vintage Wireless Museum. See http://bvwm.org.uk/wadar/index.htm Thanks.

Hi, A way exists to make quality ( 60# cubic foot MDF density ) but Curved- Wall loudspeaker cabinets in a home workshop. The benefits are well-known and published on books and discussed on the internet so the sound quality, both measured and qualitative are not discussed in this message. You do receive the following:

The recent addition to the local 'Audio Enthusiasts Club' (and voracious grabber of valves, 300B Sets and Lowthers) whose 300B monos I sorted a few days ago has gone in for a spot of tube rolling and is now battering me with questions I don't really know the asnswers to (pardon the grammar!) - he has bought a pair of EH300Bs and is now asking me about bias. He won't take the following as...

Hi hope I have the right news group I am fairly knowledgeable about using a basic single sound desk but I have a problem I have landed myself with this Saturday in the UK Problem The Church Hall has a sound system SPIRIT FOLIO F1 Main AMP and 100v line AMP 2 x Radio Mic

Can anyone give me a link to suppliers of Philips or DVS trnasport/module vendors. Try as I might, I can't find the right bit of Philips, nor the CD stuff from DVS UK prefered, but I'd be happy with any suggestions Any help appreciated

The other evening I dropped a loaned DVD back round to my nearest 'audio enthusiast' friend and he grabbed a quick opportunity to show me his recent eBay win - a Technics SL150 with his SME III fitted. Yesterday he was round to catch a quick listen on my kit - summat he wanted to check. (I/he/we do that...) I put a record on (he has the identical album) and he listened for a few moments,...

I recently was given about 600 LPs, of varying material. After eliminating Mrs Mills Piano Party, Suddenly it's Des O'Connor and The Hits from the shows played on the Kazoo, I have got about 150 classical LPs in pretty good condition, even though many go back to the early 60s and a few to the late 50s. Some of the RCA discs have the Dynagroove system, which, if I remember correctly,...

OK, for all those socked in by, er, grey skies - here's some silliness I recorded earlier after unsuccessfully trying to get my USB mic working on my Nuvistor laptop: These are mono recording samples of various clips from my MP3 store recorded by a handheld USB mic on the *same* computer they are playing from!! (Mad, ain't it? :-) Headphones almost *de rigeur* to kill some of the 'room'...

Poopie goes to the pawn shop to redeem his soul, but it was wholesaled outta there some fifty-odd years ago. Any number of "I think it sounds better"s mean ABSOLUTELY ZERO. You and your buddy Kroo**** simply hate it when Normals talk like humans about music and the equipment we use to listen to it. Poopie, your existence seems defined by envy and inferiority. The occasional wild fantasy...

I'm using Absolute Sound Recorder to record BBC internet radio and would like some advice on the settings. On the recording side, the "wave out mix" volume setting goes up to 65535, but my best results are way down at 1214. If I use this level, do I up the soundcard playback volume control or just use the speakers? I'm totally confused having 3 volume settings to adjust. I don't hear any...

Hello All: I found a Nakamichi TA-4A Receiver at a thrift store, and I am attempting to repair it. I can't find the service manual, so I thought I would ask around to see what the problem might be, before I start digging into it. (NOTE: This is a STASIS model receiver with quasi- class A circuitry licensed from Threshold, so it's worth fixing!) When I got the TA-4A home, I discovered that even...

"Keith G" wrote in message news:... "Serge Auckland" wrote Indeed, and for a rigorous explanation I fully agree. However, what I was trying to get across as that the perceived loudness mostly comes from mid-high frequency energy, consequently missing the extreme botom and top won't make a large difference to the...

For those posters here who are not only involved in Music but also Music in connection with IT, can you help me with the following query and I apologise if some here feel this post is somewhat more suitable for the IT newsgroups, needless to say, I have also posted it in just such a newsgroup. I have converted a double garage to an excellent Music Room with a Quad system using Quad 989...
