Re: RF headset
I don't own a H600 but as far as I know the differences between the H600 and the h*00 are that the H800 has Bluetooth whereas the h^00 does not, as far as I know the construction and design of both are the same.

Re: RF headset
Okay, well if you're looking at headsets for music work then the sets we've mentioned such as the Logitech H800, H600 and the Plantronics won't cut it and - if you're looking for inexpensive wireless headsets - then you may be disappointed. I have a Senheiser MM500 headset here and this was certainly designed for work in music studios along with just about everything else, the quality of these cans is exceptional so - if its music you need to consider as well as wireless - then you're going to have to pay a few more bucks I'm afraid. You could use the Logitech or Plantronics sets mentioned however there's a hell of a difference in the sound and I'm not knocking the Logitech or Plantronics units, they're really designed for voice communications and - whilst they handle music and have controls to manipulate music tracks on a device - many of the natural sounds music offers are just not faithfully reproduced by these cans because of the drivers used.

Seriously, I need it for TeamTalk for a class I will be taking in a couple of months. I also would like to have something not too expensive for my audio work in my music studio. Oh and lets not forget about my regular book reading for school. So I guess the Senhizer is out because it is not a full headset with a mic. But for me, RF is essential as I like moving around more then I am these days, and something with a little more range would be great!

Re: Stereo AM
Slight corrections required here smile. AM Stereo was Pushed for cars and I can tell you exactly which manufacturers were paid to put Stereo AM into their products as I was working in the car industry myself at the time, never seen so many sales brochures pertaining to one particular topic at any one time. So the manufacturers were Rover, Holden (GM) - in their Berlenia and Kellett Comodore models -, SAAB, Mercedes, Jagua, Nissan - in their Pintara and above - some rebadge Nissan cars sold by Ford, Reindriver. There are stations still broadcasting Stereo AM in Australia as I reported earlier, the one I know of is 2CA in Canberra. Stereo AM - as Barry says - never took off in Australia because the format really never had a chance to, unlike digital radio Stereo AM was never given any proper launch, all stations were told was that if they wanted to Broadcast in Stereo AM - and many did because of the financial squeeze being placed upon them by the new FM commercial stations - then they could go right ahead from February 1st 1985 and most stations were broadcasting in that format on or by that date. I know that many stations in the Melbourne area were broadcasting in this format long before February 1ST thus these stations had a head start in the game, they were able to Tweak the performance of the transmitter and equipment, experiment with the various methods of Stereo AM around at the time, gage listener feed back from myself and another person I know who I reckon were probably just about the only people who had AM Stereo sets in Melbourne at one stage of the game. The Stereo AM sets were far more expensive than other radios available and were low in stock thus consumers weren't interested, Why should I pay 5 times the price for a Stereo AM set when the FM one is cheaper and still receives AM which I don't really want to listen to anyway as it sounds dreadful on the radio I have. Then there was the court battle over which AM Stereo method should be used in Australia which - though finally resolved - didn't help matters, as mentioned earlier som manufacturers such as Sony took matters into their own hands. There were also interference issues though I never personally experienced any! in all my time of using Stereo AM sets, things were so bad in Sydney at one stage that Radio 2Uw and others wouldn't transmit in Stereo AM between 7 A.M. and 7 P.M.. Because of the expensive nature of a Stereo AM set other solutions were soon devised and they found their way onto the market. For example, you could buy a Stereo AM Converter which you tuned to the Stereo AM frequency and then the converter would transmit that received signal onto a predetermined frequency on the FM band for your car stereo to receive. The cheapest AM Stereo tuner I ever saw was one sold by radio shack, I saw it as low as $50 and it was amazingly simple but yet so amazingly affective and quality was very reasonable, I know many inghusiests still have these tuners to this day and most have had mods done on them of various kinds to make them even better. And finally, the other big problem with Stereo AM was the lack of self-contained systems such as Music Centers and the like featuring Stereo AM, Voxon was the only firm that marketed such devices. To my knowledge, the last AM Stereo unit ever made was by Sony in 1995 which marketed the 25th Anerversary Walkman model which had Am Stereo as part of it, I'm fortunate enough to own one of those sets. A new standard of Stereo AM was proposed but by the mid 90's manufacturers had given the whole idea away completely and this standard meant spending yet more money on completely new chips, I don't know the name of the standard proposed but I do know that the band width was far wider than what we had been used to up until this time. Many people dismiss Am Stereo as Rubbish but I certainly do not, with a good radio and a good signal Stereo AM sounded nearly as good - in fact some what better - than many processed FM singnals. As for music stations in Australia, there are still many that transmit on AM - in stereo or not - which still do very well: 2CH in Sydney, Magic 1278 and My MP in Melbourne, Magic 882 and 4KQ in Brisbane, Cruise 1323 in Adelaide and many other country stations, music will always be a part of AM radio in Australia because of the long distances AM is able to travel and be heard.

However, AM stereo never really took off in Australia, other than for car radios, although a number of stations either did or still do use it. I don't actually own an AM stereo receiver. These days in Australia, most of the music stations are on FM while the AM band is mainly for talk stations. In the capital cities where digital radio exists, all the major AM and FM stations simulcast in digital stereo, along with other digital only stations. Barry
Re: goldwave 5.7
I haven't used Windows for quite some time so I'm not up to speed exactly on what Goldwave is doing or what the latest version is but I can say two things. Firstly, Goldwave is one of my favourite audio editors and accessibility is right up there thanks again to the developer for being prepared to support accessibility and to deal with any issues which have come along. Secondly, I've used the software with Window-Eyes and NVDA and have never needed any additional scripts, Apps or whatever, NVDA certainly doesn't offer any smile. The most accessible audio editor I've ever used under Windows is Studio Recorder from APH, that product is very much under represented in the Audio Editor discussions.
