Looking at the cost, I could split my existing wires in half, thus doubling the length (single instead of bi-wire) , and then join them together. The reason so long is because the system is tucked away in an alcove round the corner while the speakers are on the book shelves each side of the...

Ok but it seems strange to market bi wired speakers if they have no use. Which single cable would you recommend, bearing in mind I haven't got a mega expensive system to tell the difference ? I will be needing about 12.6 metres.

Because they are Bi-wire speakers.

Thanks. I will look at those suggestions.

Hello, I have an old Rotel 950 amp with JPW-AP2 speakers (don't laugh, they actually sound good even though they are old) I have some old bi wire cable that needs replacing (not long enough) and was wondering if you could point me to a decent cable that has all 4 wires contained within one...

It's a Christmas present so has to be brand new. What about this ? or would it be better to get a new tone arm for the Home Mix ?http://www.richersounds.com/product/turntables/sony/pslx300/sony-pslx300

We have a budget of no more than £100 to replace this. What would be the best we could get ?

Ok, but what about the lose tone arm ?

My brother has a Home-Mix turntable with a 14 year old Stanton 500 cartridge . He doesn't really understand the technacalities of hifi as he is autistic but when I had a look, the headshell still tilts from side to side on it's axis with the locking ring fully tightened. There are 2 small screws...

I take your point about older vinyl sounding far better. I think I will still continue to buy older copies of 60's and 70's, rather than the new masters if I can, and for a good price. The new Talk Talk pressing interested me because care has been taken with the new mastering and pressing "hi...

I have considered that but not sure if the fidelity would be as good as the new pressings. The first copy I bought in Liverpool HMV and the second I exchanged for was Warrington. Today it was taken back to Chester so it's travelled around. the cd would be a good option as cheaper than a hi res...

It's more than pops and clicks. I have bought a few new vinyl that are very queit and clean, as well as old vinyl. I have a wet cleaner in the form of a new Project vacuum cleaning machine which does an excellent job but to no avail with this record.

So I take the high quality 180grm Talk Talk back to HMV and they swap it for the only one in the store. On inspection it didn't look great with a light scratch mark but they said I could try it and bring it back. Tried it and it clicks more than Castanets. Not loud but loud enough to be...

Funy enough I am looking at my brand new Magical Mystery Tour album my wife bought me from HMV as a Chrsitmas present and it looks as though it has smears and scuffs from being dragged accross a road surface. Thankfuly it plays ok but no amount of cleaning with the machine can remove these...

Playing it again and there is def some scratches in the vinyl that are audable. There is also a slight flaw in the vinyl with a dimple so it's going back. The trouble is, how do I prove I bought it from HMV as I only have a receipt. There is no identification on the record to link it to HMV...
