Japanese Voltage.
O.K. I ended up, purchasing an Airlink transformer, even though I don't yet need it. It is the JACBS 1000, At the fair price of £400, delivered. Now, as it has two outputs, I started looking at a pair of mono blocks!  As I have time to accumalate...

Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
I onced had a former work-mate. I helped him out on a job he simply could not complete. So he asked me to dinner at his home, with his wife. My eyes naturally turned to the T.V. where I discovered his "stereo" was located beneath it. It was an all...

Music reproduction is art
I have a CD recorder, and I mix various songs onto, (remember mix tapes) CD's for the car.I strangely feel artistic in selecting songs that can flow or shock, in equal measure. I am not an artist but it pleases me, anyhow. Kind regards, IAN.
