Argh! Annoying computer thing! Whenever my computer is switched on from cold, it's gets a little beyond the Win 98 splash screen, and then reboots. It always loads the second time, but you always get the list of boot options, and if you're not quick enough, it goes into safe mode. This has been...

Hi, could anyone out there recommend me a good tie clip radio microphone for under $300? It's for use in a church. The one that we use at the moment is about ten years old and on the way out. The ideal mic would need to be able to take a bit of abuse and last another ten years. Any suggestions...

Hi, has anyone out there heard of TTC electrostatic headphones? I've seen a pair for sale, with their amplifier, for a very small amount of money. The seller states that they are 1970's Japanese made. Anyone out there heard of these? TIA Andrew

OK, having problems getting Win98 (first release) installed on a computer. I install, reboot a couple of times, happy enough, then it starts setting up PnP stuff. Machine locks up, I reboot, get 'Invalid system disk'. Boot from Win98 CD into DOS, and all my file names have been messed up, upper...

Hi all, I have the opportunity to pick up a set of AKG 340 headphones, the ones with the electrostatic/dynamic driver, and was wondering if you guys out there who have experience with these headphones can tell me whether or not they need a powerful amp to drive them? TIA Andrew

Hi, has anyone out there with a pair of Staxes (mine are Stax Basics) had any problems with a hissing or whining noise in one channel that persists for a while after unplugging the earspeakers? It's only noticeable in quiet passages, or between tracks, and it isn't always there, but it is...

Does anybody recognise this portable amplifier, apparently made by Compaq? Seems like a bargain at 5 quid... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=1342088838 Andrew

OK, I had a little thought last night... would it be possible to mount some sort of position-sensors on headphones (in 2 or 3dimensions) and link it to a sort of widget-doo-dah-box thingy which could adjust phase and all sorts of other magical things, so that as you moved your head, or moved...

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of closed supra-aural headphones. 10 hours a day of data input is soul-destroying without music, and being forced to listen to your colleagues whistling all day is driving me nuts! They would be being used with a Panasonic CDP and possibly a...

Hi all, does anyone have any experience with the Stax SR30 headphones and SRD-4 energiser? I searched but drew a blank. I've spotted some for sale at under a hundred pounds, with a broken lead at the plug end (should be easy to fix?) I think someone recommended that one should always listen...

Hi all, My local hifi shop is trying to sell me an Audio Innovations 300 valve amplifier to use as a headphone amp. It's rated at 10 Watts, and my cans are Sennheiser 580s, about 150 ohms. Is this going to work, or will it fry my phones?! He's selling the amp for a bit less than a new headphone...
