Planning phase starting for 2 phono stages I am building. One for myself which will be uneccessarily complex cos I can and one for a friend which is simpler and the one I'm working out now. It'll have balanced MM and Balanced MC inputs and then the option of using analog RIAA using the monitor switc...

It had been a dry few weeks and enough to cause this. I've seen worse. I worked in Newbury when we had some biblical rain and my client's HQ building was cut off. Then the water filled up the space between the platforms at the railway station. In UK we moan about the weather a lot mainly because we ...

The surround issue, as I have said before is one that is causeing me concerns and I'll probably end up buying a marantz decoder as it has L/R and sub analog outputs which I need. Prepros that have all the features I w...

Whilst personally not a listener to local radio I am saddened by these stories. As a cycle commuter for most of my working life I haven't listened to the radio on the way into work and back I am painfully aware that the parish magazine is now the only source of local information and that's only once...

I never thought about using my le creuset for that. I'll have to try it
