    Turntable help

    Well after googling the problem I tried taking the deck off the top of the amp on the cabinet and putting it on the marble hearth around 3 feet away from the nearest speaker and it's much improved. So then sonic feedback after all. Also I tried just tapping the cabinet very lightly when the...

    Turntable help

    Hi, On the spur of the moment I bought an Akai AP-B20C turntable from a car boot for £20 at the weekend. Got it home cleaned it up and it works a treat! However I noticed that the speaker drivers sort of bounce around quite a bit, in and out as the volume is eased up but not to loud, so I don't...

This site has no zoom pinch function which would be helpful to tablet/phone users, usually set in the back end somewhere. Clicking on...

    BlueTooth Streaming

    I have a Yamaha RN500 network player to which I initially had a wireless adaptor fitted that continually dropped out streaming radio and Airplay but it does not have bluetooth. I bought a pair of Netgear Powerline adaptors (around £20 @ Currys) that plug into the mains from which an ethernet...

    Will I notice much difference?

    Well in short I took the Technics CD player to RSounds to try against the Yamaha C-DS300 and Marantz CD5005. In the shop there wasn't a lot in it. The Yamaha sounded noticibly more detailed which the salesman noticed too and I could hear a feint beat in the background which couldn't be heard in...

    Will I notice much difference?

    Hello all this is my first post on the forum! I decided to upgrade my early 90's Technics amp to a Yamaha R-N500 which is now paired with Kef Cresta speakers and it sounds very good to me. I also have a Technics CD player SL-P3670A also from around 1992 which is still in perfect condition...
