If I really thought I could change the cartridge in 20 minutes then I might consider it but it's something I've never done before (although I have used a protractor to fine-tune a cartridge alignment...

In about 1989 I bought a Dual CS505 Mk3 and had the shop fit an Audio Technica AT110E cartridge which at the time cost £21 and had won that year's What Hi-Fi award for the best cartridge under £150. ...

Hi all,
Once again I have that itch that can only be satisfied by a hifi upgrade so I'm wondering - will the Caiman SEG be a very noticeable improvement over my current unmodified TC7520? It will be...

Hi everyone, it's me again. It's been a while. I hope you're all doing fine and enjoying good sounds :-)

I need to replace the head unit in my car. The old one is a Pioneer DEH-80PRS which I...

Final reduction: £40 or they go to the charity shop on Monday.

Price reduction bump. Now just £50.

Price reduced to £65 & I'll throw in a cup of tea if you come and try before you buy :-) I would recommend the buyer to listen first if possible as they've been repaired.

Hi Lawrence,
I can't remember which one I photographed as a close-up in the first place so I've done them both again. Here you go:

Apologies Geoff - I've added an asking price.

I'm reluctantly ready to pass on my first ever pair of proper hifi speakers - a pair of JPW AP2s. I've owned them since new and done my best to look after them well but my family haven't always been...

Hi Adrian,
Yes - I know. However, as I posted previously, moving around the room produces very little difference in perceived bass and for there to be a pronounced bass trough somewhere in the room...

No - I tested that. The speakers are biwired so it's really easy to invert the phase on a single driver without re-opening the boxes. They are definitely in phase.

Thanks everyone - the problem is now solved. I took my AP2s with me to Sevenoaks Sound & Vision in Cambridge this afternoon and compared them to a couple of other pairs of speakers. I came away...

Today! And I came away with a new pair of speakers and a smile on my face :-)

Hi again.

Yesterday I had a chance to try move things from room to room and try out many combinations. I won't list all the combinations I tried and my thoughts on each - instead I'll skip to my...

I said it seemed very unlikely because it was only about 3 years ago that I replaced them. However, it's not impossible. It also might be possible that the replacement surrounds were never very...

I got home from work too late today to do any listening tests at sensible volumes so I spent some time making some links so that I can use the AP2s single-wired. Tomorrow or Wednesday evening I...

In which case I would infer that only the tweeter part of the crossover contains a capacitor (since I was able to read the resistance across the woofer) and as the woofer seems to be the problem, not...

No - I haven't touched the crossovers - they're completely original. Could an ageing capacitor could cause a lack of bass?


I certainly haven't ruled out replacing the bass drivers - I just want...

Hi Howard. I've encountered this before (a very extreme case on one occasion) but the bass seems to be pretty evenly absent in this room.

Hi Martin and thanks for your input. Yes - I tried multiple sources and the same problem exists with all of them which is why I suspect the speakers or amp.


Sorry - I should have mentioned in...

Hi Grant. Thanks for the response. The AP2s have two sets of binding posts but don't come with links. Instead the two halves of the crossover are connected by wires inside the speaker. To biwire...

My main system sounds overbright - way too much trebble and not nearly enough bass. It definitely hasn't always been like this but for various reasons it has had very little use over the last few...

Well, the stylus arrived yesterday which was very quick since it came from Germany. I've only had a chance to listen for about half an hour so far and in somewhat compromised conditions - I'm having...

I'll be happy to post my thoughts when it arrives. Unfortunately I'll only have a rather old stylus to compare it with so I'm not sure how useful it will be - especially as I haven't used the deck...
