    Stereo? Who needs it: I think The Beatles sound better in mono

    JennaChaplin Aug 15, 2022 I definitely agree. Some old 'stereo' recordings are just plain awful with instruments 'locked' to one channel or another. You're lucky if the bass and/or drums are exactly in the middle. Re quoted content, that didn't jump across as I had hoped? My reply, to...

    Confectionery you lust for.

    Ah but do you know "what" to dunk, not just how to do it? I leant many moons ago, as there was an advert on TV with a sing-song that went along with it. I can't remember it all now but it was all about: Griffin's Ginger Nuts. Sort of like the red-haired lad from Ophir, who used to come in to...

    Confectionery you lust for.

    I have though, found something that may "tilt" that craving over the edge again... A world wide petition, to Mother's Cookies, to bring the Flaky Flix "back". https://www.change.org/p/ferrero-bring-back-flaky-flix-cookies

    Confectionery you lust for.

    I'll second that. In a different way, I used to enjoy almost all forms of sweets and chocolates, as well as the odd drop of Alcohol (maybe not so much a drop, because I turned into an alcoholic, thus since 1978, I haven't partaken of that ever since) As for confectionary, if I could get my hands...

    Advise on old home theatre system

    From the sounds of it (excuse he pun) was that old home theatre system in the room, before you shifted in? As it may then simply only need you to hook your player into an aux port and have it working properly from the get go, or contact an audio serviceman close by, and see what he can do for...

    How To How to connect amplifier to home sound system

    Or? If you know which is best, don't bother with an expensive addition (such as the hugely gross 2ch home theatre type sound system - shown above), just toss an Analogue Deplexer-Decoder onto the analogue L/R outputs, of any headphone socket, by plugging it directly in there, and feed however...

    Quadraphonic Recordings?

    Hi, I know that I am NOT in the UK or even in the USA (or for that matter, in any country NORTH of the middle of this planet). I arrived into this world (down under) as the third child of a fairly poor orchardist family, who's main worker (Dad) did almost all of his many farming ventures, alone...

    What is a Roku TV? And should you buy one?

    OK, I've been around this website most of today, yet cannot find (easily) anywhere to ask/start a thread. And yes, I am often too quick in browsing across any page, such that I miss subtle hints such "add a post, or start a thread, or hey yiou, wanna chat.. Yet I still cannot find, what I...

    Budget speakers and stereo amp

    What, have you (plastic penguin) NEVER HEARD of a multiple-way audio/video TV input selector switch, that allows you to connect multiple RCA/VA devices into the single TV inputs, wow, where have you been hiding, as I've known about and bought many over my 70 years here in New Zealand (you know...

    Budget speakers and stereo amp

    Yes, because with THREE speakers, you get a fuller, immersive sound, than the limited node that is made by two frontal speaker placements. Think of a small "fuel tank stand", and it's supporting legs. 1/- One leg (MONO) has to be very thick, dense and thus has to be strong enough to support an...

    Best speakers 2019: budget to premium stereo speakers

    The 126.3dB "tested SPL result" (2003 NZ National Sound-offs) - obtained from WITHIN MY VAN (fitted with the cheapest "ad-hoc" speakers) using a 7.3+1 surround sound system that I invented back in 1965, and which I had hand-built myself, into my 1996 Mitsubishi Delica 4wd 7 seater van, with (at...

    Best speakers 2019: budget to premium stereo speakers

    What no "Theophany" speakers? One surely cannot state "the best" without trying all available, otherwise the best (you decide upon) are in fact limited by your inability to source AND TEST all speakers, sourced from "everywhere around the world", not just from within your own country, or even...

    Budget speakers and stereo amp

    I'd love to tell you "how" to alter a simple absolute rock bottom "elcheapo" (internally bridged) mini-stereo-amp, to drive a three channel surround sound system as a basic starter, but to do it that way, requires the purchase of very expensive audio toroids of the 1:1 variety, to cross two (non...
