    Astell & Kern AK USB-C Dual DAC Cable

    I don‘t know if anyone else has this issue, but the slightest movement causes mine to ’detach’, meaning it has to be unplugged and re-inserted. It’s becoming very frustrating and makes it almost useless as an ‘on the go’ DAC. The sound is great on my B&W P9s...as long as I move *very* slowly.

    RHA MA750i WHF rating!

    Was quite surprised myself at the 2 star review. I would say they are quite revealing of bad quality recordings though. I've mainly used them with iPhone but there is.a very, very noticeable difference between lossless, 320kbp and 128kbp - they are far less forgiving than the sennheisers or even...

    Arcam FMJ-A19 : What Hi*Fi magazine please ?

    May 2013 issue. Look in your latest issue at the entry for the amplifier in the long list towards the back, the entry tells you the relevant month when it was tested. The supertest in the May issue says it was first tested in January but it appears in The February 2013 edition.

    NAD C370 fading away. Would like to service

    Mine had gone altogether, so any sound was an improvement! MIne was buzzing loudly when turned on. I thought they would only repair things they had sold but they seem to do everything, are really quite reasonable and the best thing for me was having somewhere to go if it stopped working again as...

    NAD C370 fading away. Would like to service

    Richersounds now do repairs. My C370 went and it was about 75 inc vat to have it repaired (think it was the caps). You take it in via the Local Store. There is one in MK I think. ONny thing is it didn't have the white 3-pin plug adapter when it came back.

    IMAX cinema???

    Closest probably BFI at Waterloo. Isn't there a train from Reading to Waterloo? Cinema is inside the roundabout outside Waterloo so about 2 or 3 minutes once you get off the train.

    Ripping your CDs aka masochism: how did you do yours?

    I ripped about 2.5k odd cds. It took a spare PC with 2 dvd/cd drives plonked next to me in the lounge and a significant amount of time. Used dbpoweramp to rip to flac, then used the converter to convert to alac, mp3 etc. Benefit of using dbpoweramp for me is the artwork gets tagged correctly...

    Panasonic TX-L37DT30B and Magic Eye (with Sky+) - picture quality.

    Probably nothing you can do. The RF out is always going to be lesser quality than other connections (I assume if just a sky+ box you use scart). The picture is likley to both blur and look a bit washed out in my experience.

    Sky Anytime + not working

    Have you checked your box is compatible? I have the old Thompson and it cannot do anytime +. No insult meant, just sometimes it is that simple.

    Where has my iTunes library gone..??

    John Duncan is correct iTunes just can't find the files because your library has them as being on the c: drive. If you move the files iTunes will still look in the old directory for the files unless you tell it otherwise. Either, delete the library (without deleting the files, choose to keep...

    Series links disappearing?

    It also depends on the series you mean. The series link only appears if the next episode will be within 7 days on my skyhd box. It may not be a fault. If you are watching certain american series on sky1 which sometimes take a 2 week break and it does nopt appear until the week before the next...
