Hello. I'm baffled and looking for help. I've been trying to play audio over my home wifi :- the backend is a raspbery pi sending audio out via USB into a DAC, the frontend is a laptop running Debian 8, sending to a pulseaudio "SMC9514 hub digital stereo (IEC958) on pi@raspberypi" sink (I find pulseaudio deeply obscure and offputting, but I haven't found much else that offers the possibility...

OK, so I went to bed all pleased that I'd got mpd working (again, thanks to all for the help). And I woke up thinking "Duh !". Meaning, what if I mount the remote music on the raspberry fs (plugged into the amp) and run an ordinary player program on that ? So it's pulling the data over NFS. This also breaks up and stutters. Not as badly as pushing it, but any is too much. Oh well, just a...

Just to let people know I'm currently having a look at 'MQA'. This has various aspects and raises various questions. So work is on-going. However I've put up a webpage at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/MQA/ThereAndBack.html which looks at one facet. All being well I'll look at other aspects, and also 'free and open' possible alternatives. At present the above isn't linked with my other pages. But...

Hopefully the right group for the question. I bought the Tascam 60D Mk2 as a four track recorder on a tight budget to replace a stereo track handheld PCM recorder (with mic/line input). I don't have XLR mic yet to test, but the recorder does have stereo channel 3.5mm so I thought I could use my stereo microphone to record "atmosphere" as well as the mic on XLR. The problem is, even with...

Having listened to a pair of KEF 104aBs in a junk shop recently, which use the B200 and a BD139 passive radiator in a ~40l box, I wonder why I've never heard of anyone using a B139 and a BD139 instead of a transmission line or reflex enclosure. Has anyone seen such a design? -- Eiron.

** Hi, does anyone still use germanium transistor amps - anywhere ? Had a late 60s "Nikko TRM40" stereo amp on the bench this week, in sad looking condition. I reckoned it been in storage for a couple of decades and was surely uneconomic to repair. There was plenty of dust inside and ALL the transistors were germanium types plus the power stages used driver transformers for the TO3 outputs,...

This time, a BBC AM8/16. Basically, a BBC modified Quad 405 to drive the LS5/8. Has a crossover added to the input to the amps. One of the two produces a pretty loud squawk on switching off. Not a fault as such, as plenty early BBC ones in service did the same. But the BBC did seem to find a cure. The pair I had were ok. Sadly, the three circuits I've got for the crossover are all the same. ...

Alright, so it's not the catchiest title the world has even seen but... If you use Bootcamp, you might find you need to resize the partitions once in a while. Bootcamp doesn't support doing this - it's strictly 'blow it all away and start from scratch'. Camptune, http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/features.html, -does- allow you to resize and I used to use it heavily. Stopped...

Got a Quad 405-2 in for repair. Late model with IEC in and out, and the on-off switch. Heavily modified. PS PCB added with two lots of rectifiers and caps and the twin secondaries of the original transformer feeding each one. Dunno just what difference this makes in practice. Amps are modded too. Most noticeable are some caps on the reverse side of the PCB and Burr-Brown OPamps in sockets - Quad...

Hallo can you send to me your last price by $$ and I want to ask you about moss is it avalibale I am live in sweden thanks for you

Hi, I've been slowly adding to the searchable index I'm compiling of HFN. Now got to covering v13 although I still lack a few issues of v1. Anyone who wants a copy can get one from http://jcgl.orpheusweb.co.uk/temp/HFNindex13.zip It is a zip of a flat CSV file, so should load into most spreadsheets, etc.

I've recently given in and have tried joining a 'web forum' on audio (pink fish). This seems OK, and the people are friendly, but I still find usenet easier to use. But alas, most people seem to have migrated away from usenet... One thing I've been doing since is that a thread prompted me to start writing a 'wow and flutter' measurement program. Rough as yet, but this seems to work OK to the AES...

Pretty basic MOSFET power amp. I'm used to it thumping at switch on. No speaker relay in this basic design. But one of them as taken to thumping at switch off. Not always, which makes fault finding more tricky. Most likely cause?

Someone gave me a pair of Castle Harlech speakers with one of the drivers missing. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that each cabinet has, not one, but two separate Voigt pipes. The front half of the box has the woofer and tweeter in a folded pipe. The rear half has another woofer on top pointing upwards in a second VP, and both pipes are vented on the base, where a second bottom panel is...
