Is it just me or are most of the requests computer related? A growing trend or just an increasingly vocal group?

If there is a bandwagon though, and it is only going to get bigger, should there not be a publication sooner rather than later?

Good to see our tentacled friend bringing a note of seriousness to proceedings.

could there be a guide to hifi/AV for the credit crunch times?
eg best of the bargains....tips on second hand .... tips on DIY solutions?
maybe it can be a new section in the main mag if not enough steam for a UG...maybe even a 'reader tip of the month' bit?

Octopo:Let's have a guide completely dedicated to computer based audio. DAC, FLAC and all things WAP.
Although I'm not into computer based audio, I'm seconding this one, however, could it include computer audio visual as well. My laptop is 16.10 screen with Blu-Ray and Dolby Home Theatre 5.1- maybe that much talked of convergence will get here at some point.
So speaks the luddite who swears blind his Linns will only leave him when he dies.

We're working on something along those lines for WHF and UG inclusion....

Vintage amplifiers & receivers/tuners from the 70s/80s please!. I know the readership would be small (me and a few others on here) but surely no-one can resist looking at pics of the glowing blues, yellows, greens etc of old tuner dials.
Or spend £5000 and buy something from the McIntosh line! Well, they don't do yellow, but you get the idea.
HI RUSS74 I CURRENTLY OWN THE LATEST GENERATION OF AUDIO LAB EQUIPMENT BUT AS A PREVIOUS OWNER OF CLASSIC 70S HI-FI IE PIONEER SX 1050 (RECEIEVR) JVC JAS-71 (AMP) PIONNER TX 7500 (TUNER) ALL SORTS OF TECHNICS TURNTABLES TAPE DECKS THORENS TURNTABLES SONY TAPE DECKS I HAVE TO SAY YOU CANNOT BEAT IT FOR BUILT QUALITY LOOKS AND FACILITIES. NOW I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT SOUNDS AS GOOD AS TODAYS STUFF AS I THINK A DIRECT COMPARISON WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE BUT I THINK IT WOULD GIVE IT A VERY GOOD RUN FOR IT'S MONEY. MY LOCAL HI-FI SHOP AUDIO IMAGES IN LOWESTOFT RECKINS THE OLDER STUFF IS BETTER SO WHAT MORE CAN I SAY. IF FUNDS ALLOW I WOULD HAPPILY BE ON EBAY BUILING UP MY COLLECTION OF 70S HI-FI . PLUS THINK HOW CHEAP THESE ITEMS NOW ARE , SOME GORGEOUS OLD BUILT LIKE A TANK IN GREAT CONDITION ANOALOGUE TUNERS FOR AS LITTLE AS TEN QUID GOTTA BE WORTH CONSIDERING
HI BEAT THE CREDIT CRUNCH BY GOING DOWN THE 70S HI-FI ROUTE. DAM DOES IT LOOK COOL BUILT LIKE A TANK AND VERY GOOD SOUND QUALITY - MAYBE JUST BUY A MORE RECENT OR NEW DECENT CD PLAYER AND GET A GOOD QUALITY PIONNER RECEIEVER SX 1080 FOR INSTANCE OR SEPARATE AMP AND TUNER . THERE ARE GORGEOUS TUNERS ON EBAY FOR TEN AND FIFTEEN QUID ANALOGUE OR PRE SET DESIGNS YOU COULD PROBABLY BUILD A COMPLETE SYSTEM FOR WELL UNDER TWO HUNDRED QUID
Would second Or third (Sorry Lost Count) the one room system. AV v Dedicated as it were, I am one of many who has one system that has to do all, I have biased it as much as I can toward Music Replay as that is my priority (I also enjoy AV) would be interested to see if there is any thing I can do to improve.
On the lines of vintage/Second Hand How about a comparison of 5-10 year old kit that is or was class leading against its modern counterpart. I would love to see how my CD6000Ki Sig Stacks up against a current £500 Marantz Player SA7003 or similar. On the same lines how about 1 or 2 year old Kit that is no available on Sale Verses similar priced new Kit, could do a whole set up
