Despite spending much of my time recording editing an mixing in the digital domain, one of my favourite "music reproducers" is still a vintage HMV gramophone. In a radio in interview (1960's ?) Fred Hager who had been musical director with OkeH Records from 1920 to about 1940, talked about acoustic recording and the transition from the first vertical cuts in 1916 to lateral cut which had...

I've been working though a folder of old Ferrograph documents, scanning them to put onto the ukhhsoc website. I came across a circuit diagram that doesn't look to me like it is of any Ferrograph item. Presumably mis-filed at some ancient time. I have put a copy at http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/temp/Unknown.jpeg (about 3MB file) Can anyone recogise this and say what it is?

** Hi all, speaking of UK Vintage Hi-Fi, a Rogers Cadet II system turned up for repair this week. Three units in a cardboard box - main amp, control unit and phono pre-amp. See pic of similar system: http://lab.sekaimon.com/img/fetch/i/321656407324 There was a little rust on the tops of the units suggesting storage in a garage for some time, the white plastic buttons on the push switches had...

So I have an infection in my right ear, and am pretty much deaf on that side right now. But I can place audio sources just as well as I could with two functioning ears. Speculate.... Marks.... Set....

While on the theme of questionable upgrades, I've just bought a pair of S/H ATC SCM 19 speakers - an older pair, the same as these: http://www.tmraudio.com/product/atc-scm-19-bookshelf-speakers-cherry-finish-in-factory-boxes They arrived with the dust caps pushed in - both: https://flic.kr/p/PhbLmi https://flic.kr/p/PhbPLz

In the thread, "An Interesting Concept" I mentioned a colleague who is opening a studio in a former Lutheran church, to specialise in the recording of Baroque and small classical ensembles. This studio is different in that the control area comprises of an octagonal platform on wheels which can be moved anywhere in the recording space. There is no control-room window, and the recording personnel...

I was just wondering how we used to get away with the switched sockets on the back of old hi fi amps. My old Rogers has two little two pin sockets, non shrouded, tiny pins and the construction is pretty cheap. I need one of these as one has a chip out of its cover on one half. However I suspect they are not made any more. Brian --

Hi, the website linked appears to be now offline. Do you have any live links to it or an offline copy in Adobe format available. I can not get hold of the recommended Altai 8553 DU. Do you have any recommendations of alternative drivers suitable for this cabinet? Many thanks

I, and some others, have concerns about the 'closed' nature of MQA and the way it might give big companies a level of control over what makers and users of hardware and music may do. So we have been considering the possibility of an open and free alternative. This has been discussed on the 'pink fish' forum and I've released a 'bit freezer' program as a part of this for experiment purposes. If...

A friend of mine has recently had his 55th birthday. On the same day he was made redundant by the broadcast organisation for which he has worked all his life. He was too young to throw in the towel, so he decided to set up his own small studio, specialising in baroque and small classical ensembles

Just to let people know I've just put up a new version of the HFN index. It now covers volumes 1 - 16. (i.e. now runs to the end of 1971). As before, a copy is available from http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/temp/HFNindex.zip The file is a zip of a plain CSV file. Anyone who wishes can use this as they want. e.g. to generate alternative formats, redistribute, etc.

Could anyone confirm, from a rather vague description, the correct charger for: A MacBook, bought new about 3 years ago (min 2 years, max 4 years), It's got a retina screen and had an SSD fitted as an option at the time of purchase. I'm not sure if it's a Pro or not. I'm working from memory when I saw it last - it's for a friend in hospital, and he can't be much help beyond knowing he's...

This is to let people know that I have now extended and made public a new version of the 'machine searchable' index of the content of "Hi Fi News" magazine that I am collating. The new version can be obtained from http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/temp/HFNindex15.zip The content is a flat plain CSV file that should load OK into most spreadsheet or database programs. This version now covers all...

Was looking at some info today on the KEF B110, and the KEF blurb says it should be front mounted on the baffle, recessed so the chassis is flush with the front of the baffle. Yet on perhaps its most famous application, the LS 3/5a, it's mounted to the back of the baffle. -- *Vegetarians taste great* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail,...
