Hi all, I have a friend of a friend that has this Pilot based radiogram that they want to get fixed. I do not know this brand at all. The only info I have is that it is not turning on, so it could be anything. The unit is in the Jhb/Pta area. Anyone interested in poking around in this unit...

Hi all. I have mistakenly ordered the DVD version of an album instead of the CD, so, I want to find out what the best way is to extract the audio off of it to listen to the audio only, away from the TV room? I did manage to extract it by converting the DVD to a movie file, then used vlc player...

So, I am opening the floodgates here I guess, but I am one of the few people that thinks that she sings OK every now and again :-)  But, with her latest album, Turn up the Quiet, it seems that she has picked up a nasty lissssshhhp, or she was under the influence or something  :ROFLMAO: Has...

My subwoofer in my AVR setup is playing me a nice little humming tone, when I disconnect its earth connection it is nice and quiet but not too safe I guess. I have unplugged a couple of appliances through the house and no luck yet, so the question is: Is there any type of filtering solution...

Anyone out there in the Pretoria/Jhb area that can have a look at a Quad L2 active subwoofer? It switches on, but plays a mixture of a rumbling and white noise sound softly, with or without any signal applied. Also, the front panel does not react to the remote inputs. Do we still have a Quad...

Lately I have noticed that my SBT is skipping tracks to the following song before the current song is finished. I have searched a bit on the net but couldn't find any solutions. Anyone experiencing the same??

I have asked this question a good while ago, but I am just checking in if anything has changed out there? Basically one needs a blu ray drive and an audio/video card that can decode the HD audio if your amp cannot, which mine can't. I have read about the asus hdav 1.3 deluxe that can decode to...

I have an old Revolver Rebel TT and is just wondering what type of oil one uses in the platter bearing?

I stumbled across this amp while on the net. Quite pretty  :drool:  Here is the url to it: www.am-hiend.com Anyone know that tube they use?

A while back I tried assembling this headphone amp that uses a low voltage setup documented here: http://diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/12AU7-IRF510-LM317-Headamp/  Except for the hum it sound quite OK to me, thus my new attempt to get the hum sorted. But I am struggling to build a 12V PSU that is...

So, I decided to go through the setup/alignment of my TT this week, and this evening I had a listen, and at the end of the LP, near the spindle, while the LP is playing, before reaching the inner groove, at a certain point you can hear a sound that sounds like a spring releasing. Not through the...

Sad news. It seems we are losing a couple of the big names these days...    http://www.stereophile.com/content/david-manley-tube-amplifier-pioneer-has-died

Has anybody heard one of these sets of speakers? Came across it on the inter-webs and was just curious about them.

I am asking this question based on a bit of reading on the net, which means I know little and that makes it dangerous  ;D Normally SET amps don't have a lot of output power, but it seems as if this tube can deliver more than 10W used on its own, no push-pull or parallel arrangement???? ...

Like the topic says, when I play LPs the last one or two songs sound a bit distorted, especially with vocals.  I am going to attempt to re-setup the table with the basic notes that I have regarding my TT tonight(Revolver TT). But if there is anything else or in particular I have to look out...

Aaah, fresh vinyl.....  Can't wait to get home!!

I have upgraded my car subwoofer and have a JL W3v2 12" subwoofer not doing anything. I am wondering if anyone can have a look at the paper specs and tell me if it will/could work in a HT environment? Free Air Resonance (Fs):            24.0 Hz Electrical ?Q? (Qes):                    0.443...

This topic has been discussed, but just want to ask if there is any solution off the shelf to connect 2 amps to one speaker set? Or is the best to build one with one of those on-off-on type switches from the get-go?

One of these old Marantz 1030 integrated amps landed on my lap, but the right channel is much softer than the left. Also, there is hiss coming through the speakers with or without a source connected or playing/not playing. I am not too technical, but is there any basic things I can have a look...

I am not clued up on this ASIO driver thing. Played around with it and got it installed, but now I don't have any volume control in media player. Only a fixed output. Using a Asus Xonar U1 usb sound card. The analog and windows volume control doesn't work. Is this because ASIO driver bypassess...
