Re: Connecting P50sa - problems...

Hi

I have emailed you - but just another thought - does it rattle if you give it a (gentle) shake - does it sound as if anything has come adrift inside? (ps the doc doesn't really approve of customers opening the box, but I do know how its done :D )

Re: Connecting P50sa - problems...

Hi Anesthetise As the one who sold you the pre-amp - I can confirm it was working last time I used it which was only a couple of weeks ago - I was routing my cd through the direct sockets, left and right and all seemed well, and I have also had it set up using the selectable inputs. I wouldn't have ...

Administrator please

Hi

Just trying to send a private message - I can see it sitting in my outbox but not in sent messages. Do I need additional permission or am I missing something obvious?

Re: Am I the only girly??

Most Hi-fi is a funny one, because almost everyone, male and female enjoys listening to music. It's just that males seem to be more inclined to get into the equipment side of listening to music. ;-) When males describe their auditioning of hifi gear the following phrases are often included ... "...

Re: Am I the only girly??

Most women I know (actually strike that, Ninanina, as we've never met), ALL women I know think anything more than a nice looking mini-system (perhaps something stylish from B&O, or one of those nice Bose thingies at a pinch) are boystoys and a total waste of money. On the other hand, what can I ...

Re: Speaker cables - an idle thought

Point taken, but I've always been wary of plugs/sockets generally (which is why I like the captive leads on your amps rather than those nasty IEC things) The actual contact area of a round pin in a round socket can be quite small unless its a *very* tight fit.

Speaker cables - an idle thought

An idle thought whilst moving some speakers around. My current speakers have decent binding posts for connecting the cables (LS5) - the sort that you can both insert a banana plug into from the back but also have a screw-down collar and a decent sized hole at ninety degrees to trap a bare cable. Wou...

Re: Introduce Yourselves

Hi Rupert Nice to see I'm now not the newest kid on the block! Nice to hear you are still enjoying your Quad 34/306 - in my younger days they were something I always wanted but never could afford! My next step at the moment is a new dac - I have ordered a TeddyDAC from Teddy Pardo to see if it suits...
