    Tips on selling vinyl albums

    If you want to maximise the amount of money you make then selling individually is most likely the best way to go. If you simply want to get rid then list them all together. But, you are less likely to maximise profit. The issue with large bulk offerings is that a lot of people tend to already...

    Question Wall mounted speakers?

    If you don’t really use it then perhaps you can repurpose it if you went down the MA route? I think this is something you would have to determine for yourself really. Difficult for me to say if the bass would be adequate to your ears. Whilst I think it would be adequate we are talking about a...

    Question Wall mounted speakers?

    If you can accommodate a sub then I would recommend the Monitor Audio Radius 90. Really compact but still great sound. Perfect for wall mounting (but will need a sub).

    Speaker placement: missing surround speakers, have rear and height

    Personally, given the speakers are in the ceiling, I would certainly utilise them as height speakers and not rear side speakers. (If you want to give it the time, you could try it both ways and see what you prefer). I would use the rear speakers as exactly that, rear speakers. When you go...

    Question New CD Player next week, can’t decide?

    The Denon receiver has a headphone socket on the front. Do you notice any difference in sound between the 2 methods? The Denon receiver also has a USB input on the front. If you play CDs on this do you notice any difference in sound comparing the same CDs on the Marantz CD player? I think...

    Question New CD Player next week, can’t decide?

    This is true. If you want to know what they actually have in stock use their eBay page - Hyperworld. If you do decide to buy from them though, their main website is cheaper.

    Beginner: Choose between a ready-made home theater or more custom solution

    If I had the option, I would use them lower down (using the dedicated stands) so that they are at a similar height to the fronts. (This is how I used them when the system was in the loft). This is not practical in this space as it’s a walkway and they would get in the way. However, the...

    Tape deck

    Looking at eBay sold listings, this deck tends to go for between £125 and £230 (if fully serviced). Will depend how much the repair will cost in relation to how much you may get from the sale.

    Beginner: Choose between a ready-made home theater or more custom solution

    Personally I would go the AV receiver route. Whilst you would need to wire the rear speakers I feel this would sound far better and offer more flexibility in the long run. You can start at 5.1 and build from there. Personally I use a Denon Receiver and Monitor Audio Radius speakers which are...

    I traded in a lot of my music Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays and made more than £400!

    I don’t think it does convert. I think it just plays the 5.1 out of the 5.1.2 (for example). I only use 5.1 currently but I do find Atmos mixes sound better. Personally I find that the rear channels are used a lot more in Atmos mixes. However, I would also simply put this down to audio...

    HDMI? help please!

    It’s probably very rare these days to see a TV with just one HDMI socket. As this tends to be THE connection these days, TVs have multiple. If all of your devices have a standard sized HDMI cable (as opposed to the mini version) then it should as simple as connecting the Laptop to the TV and...

    Question How do you listen to music?

    Same, but I do use the home cinema set up quite often for stereo.
