There's a thought rhodium plated croc clips for the 'discerning' bread boarder who wishes to extract maximum fidelty etc..... ;) I wonder what other wonder gadgets we could conjure up for the "discerning bread boarder" ? :lol: How about a special hum absorbing treatment for MDF ? I'd go f...

In my early teens the (fairly unsavoury but golden hearted) chap who mended bicycles in a bicycle shop used to tinker with televisions. I was always on the scrounge and I spent many a happy hour unsoldering components from 1950/60s radios and tellys and using them to make 'devices'. In those days a...

Thanks to Nick, I have managed to get the latest downloads from the MSI site and sound is now working.

It seems the MSI update system does not like Firefox, and I got it done in IE in the end.

Would uninstalling Realtek AC97 and replacing it with something like Winamp be easier, and more reliable ?

As far as I can see there is not a separate soundcard, Board is a MS-6719 version 1 (Medion ?)

I've found a prog called "agent ransack" which seems to do what I want !

Seems that the "search" programme on Windows XP has been updated, and I cant get it to do what the old method did. Any way of going back to the "old" search facility ? The "old" way could search through everything on the hard drive, or am I not using the newer version p...

That would be nice Nick.

What do you need to know ?

When I got my new (secondhand) computer it was loaded with Realtek AC97 audio software. This programme is a real bugger, and I have had to re install it several times. Just been watching a railway U tube video and the sound stopped halfway through. Is there anything (preferably free) that I can repl...

No progress for a couple of days. I will be getting some felt from DTB tomorrow night when I pick up the Sabs for a 7 year (sorry, day !! :wink: ) loan while the Bass duo holiday. I have glued on the fronts now, but am leaving the top & bottom till they are "stuffed". At the moment the...

Us Suffolk folk (well I'm so very nearly in Suffolk )might not understand de lingo European.

What part of Suffolk are you Alex, and is your 401 in need of much attention before you can start playing vinyl ?

After Andrews positive experience with G3 to ground, perhaps I should borrow a phrase from Julias Caesar (as written by the Bard !)

Friends, Bedfordians and south of the Thames'ers, lend me your ears !

Can you scan the circuit ?

Would each valve be biased separately, or in sets of 4 per channel ?

Now got the G3 switch fitted & wired up. Now being able to swap G3 between cathode and earth can't really say there is any difference. Perhaps it might have helped the original assessment if I had listened for a while before moving the wire ? Anyway the switch is there so when we have the next m...

Yes, we have come across the dink phenomenon before !

Seems every time one uses the word "d i n k" you get a little dink in its place.
