I think they are missing a thing by having the "tonearm" indicator starting at the outside and tracking inwards (like vinyls) and have forgotten that CDs start playing from the inside and work outwards. or is it all a gimmick ?

I am a long term Westfield owner, bit old skool for most with a windscreen and clam shell wings, but mad enough still. I did run a motorbike as my only transport in my youth for 5 years, I still think the bike was more practical than the Westfield !

is this doing anything that the Honda Asimo wasn't doing ten years ago ? Running and hopping on the spot were pretty impressive in 2015 when I saw the demo at the Honda museum.

I came a bit late to this thread, but can offer some tyre industry knowledge. Yes there can be a vehicle specific version of a tyre, which more recently can have markings to identify it. I had a V90 recently which had the usual size / speed / load ratings, and a "V" after that on the sidewall...

If you mean what is the distance from the platter center to the stylus tip when placed on the center, then for an apheta on an rp10 it looks like 14.5mm

Look for any of the superglue "gel" versions if the problem is the glue dripping / moving before you can join the two parts. None of the superglues I have used are much good at gap filling as a warning. A good squirt of activator on the non glued part helps to start curing quickly, or join the...

Thanks, good to know how they look at least ! From the look of these, is the back of the speaker pretty much in contact with the wall (apart from the metal thickness) ? Tony

Hello all, Probably a question for Paul Darwin, but does anyone know if either original Kyte wall mounts are still available anywhere ? or if anything similar is about ? I have a pair on my desk that would be great in the kitchen/diner of my next house but need to be on the wall .... Thanks...

Didn’t Roksan have a speaker with a “baffle less” tweeter with the aid of some springs for it to float on. No idea what this sounded like, but the meeja seemed to like it.

I really liked masseduction and masseducation immediately, mainly because New York was a great lead in. Daddy’s home is a slower burner for me so far ...

Mine lurks in the house where I can get to it after a shopping trip. Saturday was spent getting the static off the new st Vincent and Gary numan albums. Another happy pro-ject user ...

Don't call me song 2 by McSleazy springs to mind -Madison Avenue mixed with the obvious ....

C weighting is intended for measurement of human perception at high levels - more than 100 dB. non weighted will give you the biggest number (for a repeatable test condition). A weighting will give you how loud a typical human will perceive the noise. The dB scale for sound sets the reference...

the sensitivity of a microphone does change with air pressure - you are measuring pascals. For engineering mics / sound level meters you set the sensitivity with a calibration source before and after a measurement session. Can't see how a phone will have this ability .... There is also for a...

Another vote for xcweather, I do a lot of kite flying, and the wind forecast especially is pretty close. like most forecasts, a day or two ahead is normally ok, any further than that you can see the sequence of weather changes, but not believe the timing. raintoday is good for short term...
