I have approximately 6000 songs on my IPphone. Does anybody happen to know if 
there is any good dj software out there. I would like to use my phone for 
mixing tracks the way i use my regular mixing board?

I'm not familiar with this type of set so can you explain a little about 
how the memory system works, do you have to go into some sort of menu to 
set and recall or does the radio - like so many Sangean radios these 
days - have dedicated preset buttons.


If the latter is the case then you can just override existing presets 
with new one's and probably do the same through the menu system if 
that's the way the radio works.

Hi!

Firstly you might like to look on Sangean's web site and see if the manual
is available.

Second, don't be surprised if you can't easily clear memories on this radio.

I've seen many Sangeans now where the old power out or reset trick just
doesn't work for clearing memory presets any longer so you have to manually
delete them.

Hi there,

   


Does anyone have or did anyone used to have the Sangean dt-400?  I had
to buy another one because mine fell out of my pocket on the bus, and
I never saw it again.

Here's my issue.

   


How can I clear the memory?  I knew that if I took the batteries out
for either a minute or an hour, it would go back to factory resets.
Well, it's not doing that at all.  I had batteries out for 24 hours at
one point, then 36, and it's not clearing anything.  The stations I
preseet are completely messed up, and I basically wanted to start over

from scratch.

This thing is not clearing.  Any ideas how I can do this?

   


Thanks.

Jim

Olympus DM656

2015-12-07 Thread Danny Miles
Hi.  Can anyone please tell me whether or not the Olympus DM656 (I
think it's called Sinority) is accessible with full spoken menus
(similar to the DS30/DS40/DS50)?  If so, does anybody please have
instructions in electronic format or can you please advise me how I
can get a copy in an accessible format?  If not, please can you
recommend an alternative?

Many thanks, Danny

Re: Article: , Egoista is not a dirty word, by Marc Rushton.

2015-12-07 Thread Dane Trethowan
I’ve found a couple of places where I can get the Chord Mojo DAC/Headphone 
Amplifier and this is what I’ll be buying as it has so many uses, can be used 
with other equipment apart from a Smart Phone and would be absolutely perfect 
with a desktop computer or a Notebook.

I’ve found a place where I can hear the headphones though they’re certainly not 
on my radar given I’ve made some significant headphone purchases already this 
year, you can never have too many pairs of cans about the place I agree but 
these cans are going to have to be something incredibly special for me to pay 
out that sort of money for a pair.

Now perhaps I’ve been missing something all my life and perhaps these cans do 
have that “Something Special” I’ve been missing? Its possible and I’m keeping 
an open mind when I go to listen after all! the B&W P7 have proved themselves 
absolutely wonderful in audio and build presentation and I believe them to be a 
bargain at $300.

 Hi!
 
 
 
 I came across this article in last Thursday’s local paper and scanned it

 deals with Headphones as well as using headphones with a Smart phone which 
 is a frequent topic of discussion here it seems.
 
 
 
 
 
 , Egoista is not a dirty word, by Marc Rushton.
 
 Listening to music with headphones is a pastime that spans generations. 
 For many, it's just an alternative to listening to music loud, without 
 upsetting the rest of the household.
 
 More recently, new generations have embraced listening through earbuds, 
 thanks mostly to Apple's iPod and smartphones. More people appreciating 
 music is never a bad thing.
 
 Listening through headphones is a personal experience, intimate even. With 
 the driver or "membrane" so close to your eardrum you also remove the 
 chance of problematic room acoustics, resulting in more natural and 
 accurate sound quality. But to experience and enjoy the very best musical 
 fidelity you'll need to aim higher than the buds that came bundled with 
 your smartphone.
 
 For those on the go, you already have a highly capable music player in 
 your pocket. Unfortunately, phones have a less than average 
 digital-to-analogue convertor, or DAC, built in. That's the circuit that 
 turns your digitally stored files back into music when you press play.
 
 They also have an even less impressive amplifier. After all, phones 
 weren't primarily designed to play music.
 
 Thankfully, there is a solution. The MOJO ($899) from Chord Electronics is 
 a portable headphone DAC and amplifier that's small enough to fit in your 
 hand, but powerful enough to drive just about any pair of headphones, or 
 even high-end buds. The in-built DAC is also world-class, thanks to 
 revolutionary technology that rivals products costing many times the 
 price. This simply connects to your smartphone via a USB cable and has two 
 headphone outputs.
 
 While useful for the travelling listener, it's more than capable connected 
 to your computer at home or in the office, and will certainly elevate your 
 headphone listening experience to new levels.
 
 But for a less portable headphone system - and when the very best is in 
 order - you'll be looking a few rungs up the ladder.
 
 Resembling something more akin to Frankenstein, the Model AB-1266 Deluxe 
 headphones from JPS Labs Abyss are handmade in the USA. You won't be 
 wearing them on a train. Arguably one of the best headphone sets on the 
 market, it uses a proprietary planar magnetic transducer design with a 
 very thin, very low mass diaphragm.
 
 With a very broad frequency response covering 5Hz through to 28kHz, where 
 the AB-1266 excels is in its exceptional ability to retrieve low level 
 detail in the bass, mid, and high frequencies. Each driver is hand 
 matched, and by design the lack of any rear magnet structure eliminates 
 annoying reflections from behind, allowing for a completely open sound.
