    Camera Help!

    I forgot to add that my budget it's around £1000 or maybe a little more. I intend to use my Apple 15 inch laptop as a viewfinder and then use a 27 inch Monitor to view the final images. I have looked online and seen a couple of Nikon Coolpic cameras with extremely long zoom lenses, which may...

    Camera Help!

    Hi y’all, I hope that some of you knowledgeable folk will be able to help me sort out a problem. I am registered blind but I can still see a little, a bit like looking through a pair of misted up glasses. I would like to try photographing wildlife in my garden but I am unable to see enough...

    Paradise phono stage: which carts do you use?

    I've had great results using a Shelter 9000 into a four box beautifully built by Simon. Si, you should hear my system now. The Voyagers have been upgraded to Voyager 300s and, after 30 years, the SBLs have been replaced by Magico A3s. Its a stunning combination that made me realise just how good...

    What were you doing when they landed on the Moon ?

    Well we were both below 5' 6" and we did have the back seat folded down flat.I'm still giggling about her father and the torch.

    What were you doing when they landed on the Moon ?

    I was 19 and in the middle of loosing my virginity. On the top of Box Hill in the back of a Hillman Imp with the radio on. Armstrong's voice always reminds me, "The Eagle has landed". Too bloody right!

    SBL vs Kudos Super 20A

    Merry Christmas everyone, Thank you for your replies to my question. I asked because a few weeks ago a new friend dropped by and commented that he felt my SBLs didn’t have much bass compared to his Kudos Super 20As. I always thought that SBLs had bass when bass was present, they just didn’t...

    Hi Folks, I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has experience of both speakers or even a useful opinion. I'm considering a move away from my SBLs but where to? Thank you, in anticipation. Tony. B

    Eel Pie Island

    I'd forgotten the 1 penny toll too. I remember leaving the car on the road by the Thames not realising that it was tidal and prone to fooding, Saw a fabulous Genesis with Peter Gabriel supported by Free. Shocked to find the car half submerged on our return. Oh happy days!

    yeah, why don't we build a mosque in Mecca??

    Sorry, did I misunderstand this completely? Did they not mean, "Why don't we build a cathedral in Mecca"? Surely no one would complain if a mosque was built in Mecca?

    What are your favourite stereo recordings of the Brahms Symphonies?

    I bought the four symphonies by Bruno Walter on vinyl many years ago and have never heard better. I'm never sure though whether one just becomes so familiar with one version that all others seem wrong somehow? You say you are fond of the piano concertos well, if you haven't already heard...
