Subject says it all, its a long shot. Don't spose someone knows of anyone with a Tek 7704a or higher speed 7 series mainframe to dispose of do they? If the price is right I could be interested. -- Nick

Can anyone tell me how to do gapless recording from wm11 to a Samsung mp3player or to an ipod nano? Or even if this is the correct NG to ask? -- John the West Ham fan

One for the old timers on the list :-) My Cambridge A75 power amp has a dodgy left hand channel. I have two choices: 1. Get it repaired - I'd like to do this because, when it was working I was very happy with it, however I've no idea where to take it :-( No one at Cambridge Audio was old enough to even remember this amp so I've got no circuit diagram....

I recently bought the Monster Ultra 1000 and the Ultra 600 for Dolby Digital. Not only am I not able to hear a difference between the two cables, but I don't hear a difference between them and a relatively generic optical cable I had on hand from years back. I'm using the PSB Image 5.1 setup, and an NAD surround preamp and power amp, with LAT International interconnects and speaker cable...

*On the psychotic netstalker Peter Wieck, aka Worthless Wiecky, Wyncote, PA* Yo, Bob Morein, yesterday in the thread "Brian L. McCarty has Klinefelter's Syndrome?" I offered to give you a lesson in jerking around an obsessive on a chain, proof of my contention that they are not capable of change to adapt to circumstance. I gave you a detailed description of how I humiliated Peter Wieck aka...

Electrostats aren't supposed to be loud, though they can be, and if you have enough money to stack stats you can have really overpowering bass as well without ever resorting to subwoofers, which have their own absolutely tremendous matching problems. I don't see the point though, because along the way you will sully the delicacy of the midrange, which is the chief glory stats. But Patrick's...

OK - here's an item which is incomprehensible. As if that's not enough, they tell you not to buy it! "Payment methods: There are no available payment methods in your country. Please do not bid on this item" Nice one!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330110969202&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:UK:1

Music listening become unrewarding for many years. Sounds dull and lifeless. Currently have CA A500 , Mordaunt Short 914s , CA 640C , Technics SL1500 I'm looking at vinyl again but I have some more fundamental problems - my ears, have gone to ****e. High frequency hearing is diminished - so much so that if I'm talking with someone that is softly spoken, I keep having to ask them to repeat...

Some weeks ago I had raised a post asking all experts to advice me on 'lack of detail' from my Pro-ject Debut III turntable. After a few work related delays, this week I sat down to seriously review Serge Auckland's recommendations on isolating the problem at the cartridge or phono stage level. I did some digging in my attic and found a neatly packed Denon PMA

I have a Nakamichi BX-300 that recently got a new idler tire and works like new most of the time. It runs and sounds great, but every once in a while, it behaves very strangely and I would like to know what the possible cause might be. The strange behavior always happens when the BX-300 is in "PLAY" mode. The first thing you notice when it starts to act strangely is that the digital counter no...

Hi guys, Some weeks ago I had raised a post asking all experts for advice for 'lack of detail' from my Pro-ject Debut III turntable. After a few work related delays this week I sat down to seriously to review Serge Auckland's recommendation on isolating the problem at the cartridge or phono stage level. Did some digging up in my attic and found a neatly packed Denon PMA

Just emailed Cambridge Audio with the following. Any ideas: ============ My A500 is about 8 years old (I think). It had a phono-module installed internally at time of purchase for an extra £20. I've never really used it with anger until I got a half-decent turntable last week.

It would be useful if there was a standard short test track that could show some aspects of a speaker's performance. Something like: 10 seconds of 50Hz sinewave to set the level to 2.83v 10 seconds of white noise Several short tracks of 1/3 octave noise at 16,32,64Hz etc. Swept sinewave 10Hz-22kHz. Then, assuming our microphones are reasonable, we could keep the test recordings for posterity and...

HI, hope you'll indulge this newbie query. I have a cambridge audio 540A and Sony SACD with Gale floor floor standing speakers. For a while I've been convinced that one speaker/ channel - the right one - wasn't equal to the other - I cleaned out all the connections, stripped back the cables again, even swapped the speakers around, and still it sounds to my ears like one is weaker than the other...

After limping on for a few weeks using an adaptor to feed both AM/FM and DAB aerial inputs off a standard wing mounted telescopic, I decided to bite the bullet and fit the pukka thing - mainly because the FM reception wasn't as good as I think it should be. So at a cost of more than many a car radio I got the Blaupunkt combined roof unit. But not made by Blaupunkt, but by our old friends...

I'm tempted to upgrade the soundcard in my PC by fitting a better one, either in my one remaining spare PCI slot, or via USB2. I've been looking at various Creative cards, but I'm getting a little concerned about repeated references to drive problems (I'm on XP Professional, so nothing too exotic). I'm wondering how many different opinions I'll get if I ask for soundcard recommendations?...

hello everyone, I'm trying to break the analogue audio out of a scart connector to feed some active speakers. I have seen some scart plug to plug devices with phono lead breakout - does anybody know if these are a parallel connection, so that the audio in the scart works in conjunction with the breakout leads? or do I have to buy one with TV / hifi switching? many thanks

With nowt but some very strange cross-posting going on (from what I can see of it) there must be one or two of you starved of *audio* here - if so, go see this site: http://www.coutant.org/ There is an *evenings* interest in it, even if microphones are not primarily your thing - keep digging, it's a very interesting site!! Also, my own website has had a bit of a revamp - same old stuff...

Yo, Al: A while ago I promised to publish something about my surroundings. You are cordially invited to come ride with me down to Kilmacsimon Quay. http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/BICYCLE%20Kilmacsimon%201.html There is also an article of more general information for cyclists coming to Ireland, which mght interest some of the...
