    Bridge mode or two-channel mode?

    Here's the setup: Behringer Europower EP2500 power amp - 450w p/c into 8 ohms, "up to" 2400w into 4-ohm bridged. 2x 15" 400w 8-ohm Hybrid bass bins. Currently the bins run each off one channel on the EP2500. What will give me better results? 1.) As is - one bin per channel, giving 8-ohm load...

    AVForums social/bring & braai Sat 7 Dec

    OK, so let's see a show of hands - who would be keen? The idea is not for this to be a listening session type of GTG - I have very little to listen to anyway...  ;D It's all about being social, having a few beers around the fire, braaiing some cow or whatever you fancy, and just unwinding and...

    NAD 3150 - phono pre-amp stopped working... :(

    Hi gents I use a NAD 3150 as pre in my AV setup to run my TT. The power amp section is running bridged as the power to my sub. Spinning some vinyl this morning getting ready for work, the TT just went silent... Some fault-finding is leading me to believe the phono pre-amp has died. Line inputs...

    The Lenco craze...

    OK, please inform this Luddite. I have heard several Lenco's through the years, from stock standard to quite modified, with different arms, plinths, etc. Every single one of them have failed to impress, with the one exception maybe nice solid bass reproduction. They're all rather flat, and...

    Re: Technics SL-B200 belt drive turntable/p27cart and stylus R300

    Dude, the Stanton is a better TT than this. As much as I like Technics TT's, this one is a real cheapy. Sorry Andre. :(

    FAO: Andre V - stylus query

    Dude. Do you by any chance have any of these? My 8yo boy decided to play a record label with mine - it is now no longer a sharp point, but rather a flat surface... I do have a generic replacement, but it's rubbish compared to the original AT.

    Advice please: Polk Monitor 50 towers & PSW10 sub

    I can get a set of these towers and the sub, for the princely sum of R600. Product details http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/products/recent/monitor50/ http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/psw/index.php?s=psw10 The cabinets are a bit scruffy - lots of scratches etc; they have not been loved -...

    This is why I don't buy CDs any more... >:-(

    Linkin Park - A 1000 Suns. Yet another completely fucked Vlado Meller master. It is clipped so badly it is unlistenable. Have a look - this is track 5: Let's zoom in a bit, shall we? The mastering volume is pushed up so high that a very large part of the waveform simply got thrown away...

    Critique please - LP recording

    Quick sample of a recording done for a mate. Recorded through Adobe Audition, noise reduction applied, subsonic filter applied, built-in declicker applied: ~4mb 320k mp3 Too much noise reduction? Too little? What's it sound like?

    I need a favour... collect, pack and courier from DBN...

    Anybody here from Debbin? I have an opportunity to get a Linn TT, but I need someone to collect, pack and ship the thing to me... I'll pay for everything obviously, plus some extra for a bottle of your favourite poison for the effort. Anyone able to assist?

    I bought yet another piece of vintage vinyl equipment...

    A Technics SL-D1, like so: In beautiful condition, with a decent AT cart & stylus fitted. For the princely sum of R300... Gumtree ftw. I remember these decks from the 80's as sounding particularly sweet, and I'm over the moon with this one! Gave it a wipe-down, re-balanced the arm, cleaned...

    Technics SL-5 service/repair manual required... :-(

    Hi Guys So, the Technics SL-5 I got the other day is not working. It switches on - the LED pointer indicating the stylus position lights up - but that's it... :( I've scoured the "net for service manuals etc, and I've found manuals for the SL-7, 10 and some other Technics linear trackers, but...
