Re: Panasonic Full HD issues

Maybe you could try taking a ex demo model which has been running in the shop for several weeks, although beware of any bu...

Re: 110v to 220v converter

Hi Tony, I think what you want is a step down transformer, not a step up transformer. Domestic supply in Ireland is 230V or thereabouts, most US domestic products run at 110V. Hence you would require to step down from 230V to 110V or 115V. If you were to step up then you would be going from 230 to 4...

Re: Turntable

That's amazing Fran, because my collegue is convinced that his TT was made in Ireland. I expressed skeptism at first, so when we googled on the www the Michelle engineering came up as listed in the UK. Hence we concluded that the TT was made in UK. Looks like we were wrong and Keiths memory is corre...

Re: Turntable

Hi Chaps, I was chatting to a fellow (Keith) who is passing through the office at the moment. We got talking about Hi Fi. Anyway he mentioned he bought a turntable back in 1980, and he still has it to this day, turning out some great sounds. Believe it or not, but he was then able to find the compan...

Re: Mains conditioners

I admit I have no experience with Mains conditioners. But I have a few thoughts about them. If your electricity supply is already good quality then there might not be much point in obtaining one.

Re: COPLAND 288 CD PLAYER

Hi SydneyK,

Just a few questions about the 288, how old is the unit and what price range did you have in mind?
You mention the laser mechanism was refurbished, how long ago was that? I don't know much about Copland players but is the 288 a sucessor to the 823?

Regards,

Adrian.
