Recently I have been buying some of the Rush 200g LPs - each of these comes with a high quality download code. The issue is these downloads are only available to US or Canadian residents so has anyone any idea how I (living in the UK) can avail of these ? (Note the 180g versions of the LPs are...

I need a headphone extension lead due to the distance of my favourite seat from the hi-fi unit. Any recommendations for this - the headphones are good quality so obviously I do not want to compromise the sound. Any advice appreciated.

Will the Marantz CD6005 play MP3 files from a USB stick directly connected to the unit ?

Fellow readers, after many years with the same kit, I am seriously thinking of some upgrades. My current kit is as listed below. I am definitely going to upgrade the CD player, amp, speakers and headphones (and possibly the turntable). I will not update the CD recorder nor the cassette decks...

After some house cleaning, I am trying to re-assemble my hifi components and am struggling to connect my cassette deck (Technics RS-B355 to my Pioneer PDR 509 CD-r recorder. My amp is an Arcam Alpha. I have some old cassettes I want to transfer to CD-r. At the moment the Pioneer is not receiving...

I am looking for some advice here. I recently changed my car and the stereo has a facility to replay music from an SD card. I have conducted a few trials with this and found that the only supported format seems to be MP3 - despite the manual saying that WMA should be fine - however in the...

Thanks folks - any comments re the playback of the SACD, blu-spec, SHM CD, MFSL discs ?

Apologies if this is a very simplistic question: I would like to buy a Panasonic BDT210 blu-ray player from a Uk-based supplier and have a question on compabibility. I am assuming that the player has not been modified in any way so it is as supplied by the manufacturer. Obviously it will play...

I am very tempted to buy an S370 as I read very positive comments re it. However I also own a 'W' series Sony TV with which the new blu ray player will be partnered. Can anyone on here categoricaly state that there (or are not) still sound drop-out issues if these 2 are paired ? If yes, then...

Any other comments / suggestions ?

Sorry should mentioned in my original post that the blu ray player will be connected to the TV via HDMi and playback will be through the TV speakers - no surround sound system. Any other comments ?

I am looking to purchase my first blu-ray player and after reading the recent Awards issue was keen on the above model (S370). However I see from various forums that there can be sound drop out issues when it is connected directly to a Sony W series TV (which as luck would have it is exactly...

I have some of these discs (Memorex) and would like to record some music onto them - probably using Windows Media Player on my laptop as my home PC (with Roxio) will not burn mini CD-r's. My question is:- For the 24 mins / 210MB quoted on the disc label - what bit rate is this using ? I...

I'd be interested in hearing from readers who own one of these already (www.brennan.co.uk). Apart from the absence of network capability (not really an issue for me) - are there any other potential shortcomings ? Many thanks, Brian.
