That's helpful, thank you. In reading your answer I realise I've only shown part of the insides. This pic (below) shows the whole case contents, including what are presumably the 2 mains transformers at either end (top). One of them has Avon Magnetics Ltd written on it, a web search confirms...

Hello Fishies, I posted end of March last year about this and now we are looking to move it on. This is a Beard 30-60 mkII Integrated Valve Amplifier which belonged to a friend of mine's father who died last year, his widow is now moving house and downsizing. It was initially acquired in...

I use this product on my AT stylus, not frequently but every couple of months perhaps. I had heard the fuss about how awful it is to use such things on stylii and then thought, well its made by Audio Technica, how bad can it go? So I bought it on the advice of the dealer to help me with my awful...

Register your interest on Twickets, if you haven't already. We've had success with that before

Er... hello? Somebody didn't get the memo did they? Dear me. :rolleyes: This sort of nonsense will get you nowhere. Everybody knows that s/he who dies with the most toys wins. We've seen it on the advertisements dominating the crescendo of late stage capitalism. Don't worry everyone...

There are so many versions of Swift's vinyl - covers, colours, extra tracks, 45/33, you name it (surely this wouldn't have anything to do with making more money?!!). Unfortunately according to Discogs and other internet sources many of them sound awful. Ordinarily I would just walk away and...

I have a suggestion. Delete the app. Go to the website. Use the website. If you are a regular user, leave the tab open all the time. I do this with several websites including some which have apps such as social media sites, Amazon, Ebay, The Guardian etc.

My wife has the Sony WF-1000XM4 ones and my son has the model before (M3). I bought them 'cos I'm too tight to pay for the Apple Pro whatever they are for a marginal difference they don't care about. They both love them. My daughter (15) has J Lab ones, has had them for 3-4 years. Now they...

Do it yourself. If it's a simple case, you're not meant to 'need' a solicitor. Have a look at the form, fill it in, job done. It's more of an administrative task than a challenging one. https://www.gov.uk/applying-for-probate

Alright I'll bite. You people might all have Phd's in telling the difference and good luck to those of you who can. However, I am 100% certain that, given three good connections between bare wire, banana plugs or spades (or even those crazy twisty things they had on '80s Japanese amps)...

Personally, I wouldn't get a TT with a built in phono stage - get an external one which will give you flexibility, from $150. I wouldn't want a digital out on a turntable either. Save your money and get a straightforward TT without a phono stage or a digital out. For your budget you will be...

I have a suspicion about what this woman/girl may or may not have done and I'm not reaching for any tiny violins in this case. Equally I appreciate what she's accused of is complicated and have elected, because I'm not that interested, to hold off developing an opinion and leave it to the...

Just looked it up - PC Mag recommend it, which makes it interesting, and also Acast (I've not heard of that) for apparently more of a European focus (Acast is Swedish). No-one else listening to podcasts on Android?!

I am told Google Podcasts, platform where I get my podcasts, is closing in April, they are moving to You Tube. I shan't be going with them. I want a straightforward podcasting hub. Already use Sounds for BBC only stuff. So I'm looking for your recommendations for best/highly recommended...

Ask Peter. He'll probably take all the bits off you at market rates. Will be easier and more lucrative than selling it in one go.
