    A38 optical no sound

    I want to connect my Behringer UCA222 to my Audio Pro A38 via optical. I can hear the source e.g cassette via headphones in the UCA222 with monitor on. On the A38 I have selected Optical and have a red led on the speaker. If I look down the optical cable I can see red light. But no sound...

    Hifi or hearing

    I was referred to NHS and got their hearing aids. I wanted some other gadgets that NHS does not supply e.g. Phone answer and Bluetooth streaming. Went to Boots who did their hearing test and saw that it looked identical to the NHS test. Did spend the 1000s. Cannot tell the difference between...

    Hifi or hearing

    My current hifi consists of a pair of white Audio Pro A38 and an old Galaxy A7 mobile phone, which uses Google Home to talk to the A38s, with a 200Gb micro SD card. The SD holds 8500 tracks, ripped from my own CDs (I still have the CDs) and a few LPs, played through PowerAmp. Streaming is from...

    Can you extend Bluetooth range?

    My view on wireless headphones is not driven by sound quality; with my old ears I doubt if even full listening tests would show much difference between current Bluetooth or Kleer that Sennheiser use; after all I failed the Spotify mp3 vs hi res test. My reason for RS180 (BT codecs are now much...

    News Qobuz hi res streaming on Sonos

    I failed this test, 56% i.e. guessing:-- http://abx.digitalfeed.net/spotify-hq.html I doubt I would pass the same using Qobuz. So why do I need to pay more for a hi res subscription? I am not naive enough to believe that increased costs would be passed onto the artists rather than the middle...
