Hi there, Save your cash and get some Sennheiser CX300II s. They're only £25 or so in Tescos and have brilliant sound quality. You won't get too upset if you lose them either (like I did on the train!) Cheers,Nick

Professorhat- I appreciate that the dialgoue is not lost, but using a centre speaker gives a greater deal of control. My hearing is pretty shot -particularly at the frequencies of speech. Both my bluray player and AV amp have functions called 'dialogue enhancement' or similar and these boost...

Hi- Seems no-one so far has answered your question "is it possible to connect more than two speakers to these things". The answer is Yes- depending on the amp, some have two sets of speaker terminals and most subs work from pre-outs (or maybe a tape loop for the old skoolers) but a stereo...

I'm not at all sure if this supports the argument or not... Bearing in mind that the guinea pigs (sorry chaps) noticed a more pronounced difference in the sound than the picture, the test procedure would suggest this to be the case. The reason being that the signal from the player to the amp is...

nodnarb4444: thats whats great about not being able to spell,i have no idea if the magazine has mistakes or not but even if i could i wouldnt care ive got other thing to worry about like paying my bills ,feeding my kids. im pretty happy that for my £4 odd a month i get a magazine to read and a...

Bearing in mind that the mains frequency is 50 Hz and the 5th harmonic is still in the range of a subwoofer, I would say that even the most cynical person would find it hard to disagree that if a mains cable was going to have an effect it would be with a subwoofer! Regards,Nick

Video capture via USB dongle is definately the way to go - I'm assuming here that these are tapes of TV recordings and camcorder stuff and not copy protected (macrovision). I did it years ago and struggled because of disc space (had to capture 30 mins at a time!), but now when you can get a 1TB...

Which cable was used from receiver to TV?

Dear all, I must admit I'm a cynic when it comes to digital interconnects- I've heard the arguments on both sides of the fence and fall firmly into the category 'if you feel you see/hear a difference - its your money, spend it', however... I personally can't tell any difference; all the...

Hi, Just thought that I might add my twopennyworth following this post and the review I read in the mag today. I've had a Squeezebox duet for just over a year now and am very happy with it. Some months ago, due to a **-up in Currys I got a complete Sonos system for next to nothing. I took it...

One way is to get some conversion software that will convert your files from whatever format you are holding them on the PC in to a format readable by CD players. Then burn them and play them as a CD. You might end up with a lot of CDs though! A quick search turned up loads of sites offering...

Hi Jazzmaster, Did you get a system? If so what was it and how did it perform? Cheers, Nick

Hi Joelsim I should have been clearer - I haven't got the amp yet. I'm in the process of getting a new system together that doubles up for home cinema & hi-fi. My existing amplifier is an old Kenwood KA5010 that has done me well and I've never had any real complaints (please bear in mind that...

Dear Forum, I am trying to build up a shortlist for new speakers to audition and hope that some of you may be able to point me in the right direction. Some of my requirements may be incompatible with one another so some ideas as to compromises are welcome. 1) I want to use a 5 or 5.1 system...

Thanks for your views. It's much appreciated. Regards, Nick
