Subject: Advice needed for good vinyl player and ria amp.


Hi!
Since my Dad passed on in July my intentions are to digitize some of his
vinyl collections.
Not only for sentimental reasons, also because he had some vinyls you can’t
get from anywhere.
So my questions are:
What kind of vinyl player should i get?
I think i read on this list that usb turntables are no good and i guess this
is because the sound of the dac in the turntable?
But if i by the new rega planar 1 2016 i guess i get a good player for the
money or do i have to get up in price?
The next thing is the Ria amp for the turntable.
That has to be good enough but not in the expensive part of the price tag.
Sadly i am not made of money *lol*.
So any help you can give me are very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Panasonic RF2200 Vintage World Band Radio

[Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona]

it is so weird not hearing the fading of shortwave radio

I have allways wondered what a shortwave station sounded like when it 
was in the same country

also nice radio nice and basy to!

I sampled a station from Wagin in Western Australia - about 2100 miles away 
from me - and thought I’d share it with you.
I sampled this from my new Panasonic RF2200 Vintage World Band radio and by new 
I mean that I’ve just acquired one, the radio itself is around 40 years old but 
now its been fully aligned and you can hear the results for yourself.
Unfortunately weather conditions around the country - as you’ll hear - are a 
little unstable right now, lots of lightning etc so I think the RF2200 did a 
fantastic job at reception overall.
What makes the RF2200 unique is the rotating ferrite AM antenna on the top so 
you can nut out other stations in the background to an extent.
The RF2200 has very finely tuned circuits which make the radio hotter than a fire 
cracker when it comes to AM reception, very reasonable on short wave and okay on FM 
though not as good as many of today’s modern-Day FM radio sets though that’s to be 
expected given most now use DSP technology which certainly wasn’t around 40 years ago 
.
The sample was made using the microphones of the Olympus DM4 and you may notice 
a little echo since the Olympus recorder was some distance away from the radio 
to avoid any additional interference being added to the sample.

Hi. I can't get my PC to send sound to my stereo system's speakers. Let me 
explain. You'll soon see that I'm less than an amateur at this.

The default speakers on my PC are MM1s. As many of you know, they don't rely on 
any on-board soundcard. Eight years ago, my PC was also connected by wire to my 
stereo system, in another part of the room. My PC has since been replaced, and 
that connection to the stereo was lost. For better or worse, the guy who 
installed the stereo ran the wire behind the wall, up over the ceiling and down 
to the back of the stereo. (My apartment was being completely renovated at the 
time.)

As far as I can tell, that wire hooked into my Pc's microphone jack. I can 
confirm that there's a wire that comes out of the baseboard that does seem to 
correspond to the microphone jack. It is now plugged in to that jack.

However, I still can't get the stereo to play. As I said, the MM1s are my 
default and I want them to stay that way. I've tried to configure the on-board 
soundcard to work with my stereo speakers, but without success.

That's the best I can do to explain the problem. Can anyone suggest a solution 
or tell me where I've gone wrong?

Thanks.

About a month or so ago I did a clean installation of Windows 10 onto the 
Desktop machine and what do you know, I’ve not felt compelled to install iTunes 
onto that machine since, I have all my music in different places, on NAS 
storage and in my Dropbox for example and all my favourite players - whether 
they be Portable music players, Hi-Fi gadgets, Radios or computers - have 
access to it so no need for iTunes unless I want to put the music onto an 
iPhone which I don’t because its already in the Cloud and will be streamed to 
the iPhone should I choose to play music with it using the built-in Apple Music 
App which I don’t given the App has become so complex lately.
I’m also different in that I’m one of those who don’t like sitting in front of 
their computer listening to music or whatever unless I really have no option 
but to do so, I think I live by the old slogan my old Squeezebox Boom used to 
display when it was booting up, “Set your music free!”.

Hi Andy
You're right. It still annoys me that I can't connect all the equipment I want 
without a lot of rigmarole. Sonos will let me play music from the built-in 
iPhone app but not other apps such as NatureSpace which has really nice 
nature/relaxation tracks. A lot of Apple and Microsoft products don't integrate 
well - deliberately so in order to force you to stay with one company. And what 
a carry-on it can be getting music onto an iPhone from a PC these days! As for 
HDMI, it's great when it works, but it has a little thing built in called 
High-bandwidth Digital Copyright Protection (HDCP) which you will find will 
stop you doing some of the things you mentioned: like you can listen, but you 
certainly can't record and definitely not copy. And because of that, it refuses 
to play certain media such as Blu-ray if it detects you are using equipment not 
certified for HDCP. So frankly, life could be a lot simpler if it wasn't for 
the jealousy and rivalry of some big corporations.

I'd just love, like yourself, to keep it simple, but it simply isn't going to

Good quality audio from computers, TV's and interfacing that with AV units or 
amps has historically resulted in multiple complexities and it's only people 
like us who may know a little about these things that gain the benefits.

One day you will with no understanding whatsoever  about technology , be able 
to play audio from any device through your home system, without even thinking 
about it.

I really couldn't tell you what was the best method of drawing all these 
threads together and with every year, it's getting even more complicated.

Wouldn't it be nice to buy a good computer with high quality sound and you 
could simply download audio from Itunes or otherwise, listen to it and edit it 
and post it again without any effort whatsoever!

Hi Andy,
That's a thought which I'll have to ponder some more. I know desktop
speakers for PC are nearly always rubbish but the ones Dane linked to are an
exception. But a separate amp or receiver for my PC is a possibility.

My PC is in a den too as my wife banned PCs from the living room so instead
I've got a high end set up in the Livingroom similar to yours minus the PC.

Believe it or not in my PC room/den I used to have 2 PCs with 2 sound cards
each going through a sound mixer and then output through an amplifier and
stereo speakers. That was in the days when I used to broadcast on internet
radio. The 2nd PC was a backup for when things went wrong with my main
machine which sometimes happened. Anyway, I've simplified things since then
getting rid of redundant equipment. I now have one of the few self-amplified
5.1 systems that can plug into a sound card without an amplifier. I also use
a splitter to a little transmitter that lets me use the old-style wireless
headphones and portable speakers so I can have audio from my PC in other
rooms. The Logitec Z5500 5.1 speakers sound reasonable for their price and
age but as they're quite elderly I want something better.

Hi!

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a
good while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not
how your local radio station wants it - then take a good look at the
modern Spotify.

I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it before
today but the changes are numerous and these changes have really given
me something to think about regarding the other Music services I'm
subscribed to, it might very well be that you'll find that Spotify will
provide your each and every need for your music listening habits.
particularly if you're a Spotify Premium user.

I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found accessibility
to be first class.

Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through a
Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.

Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify from
the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then opened the
Spotify App from Undok and used the Connect icon at the bottom of the
screen to locate the radio, the music started playing through it when I
double-tapped the "Play" icon.

Hi Hank
Yeah it's a very nice card, and they've even come out with newer models and 
Asus has one as well that really kicks the lama's ass. Grin
We're just getting used to these cheep noisy realtec cards which are build in 
to almost every new pc these days.
But wen you listen to a real hifi sound card you can easely tell the difference.
No it's primarily the DA converters that are better suited for audio then the 
ones on the mother board.

Best regards

Hi Brian.

Yes, I was listening this morning to a Blind Cool Tech archive concerning the 
Mac Demo 14, which was recorded in 2011, by a guy called Mike Arrigo. I just 
loved listening to this guy speak and that of course was almost five years ago.

I've no doubt that If Mike has an up to date tutorial on the new imac Retina, 
with some hard work, I'll learn the key-strokes  This morning, I was also in 
contact with an organisation in Glasgow who have an open door policy to 
learning all Apple products.  Aparently, all you do is walk in the front door 
and you'll get a chance to feel and check-out the item of your choice, which in 
my situation is a desk-top Mac.

So I'm getting pretty excitted now about finding out more.  Much more excited 
than toing attending  a Windows 10 demo, So my mind is clearly made up, just 
need a little more cash now.

Perhaps but you must understand that learning about Mac OS and VoiceOver is
only the beginning.

If you had no experience with windows, you would accept  that the awkward
way things are done in MAC OS  is normal but with a little experience of
windows you will find yourself trying to work out the mind set of those who
devised the OS and VoiceOver.

However, given your experience in windows you may find that something like
audio editing  has a steep learning curve.  Yes, I know that Garage Band,
Amadeus Pro and Twisted Wave are very good audio editing programs for
sighted people but for a blind person they can be very frustrating.

The question you should be asking yourself is: is there anything that I
would want to do that can only be done on a Mac and, if so, is it important
enough for you to justify the outlay, considering that most of the things
you might want to do are possible through your I Phone.

Anyhow, excuse me while I duck around the back to avoid the arrows and
flames of the Apple fans!

I love everything audio concerning my computer.  I've music,
described movies and talking books and I use programmes such as
Goldwave to record streaming music.  I also love burning the odd CD
for a friend and recently, I've purchased a Zoom H6 digital recorder
for even more interesting audio work.

Many of my friends, who are not blind are telling me to buy the new
Imac Retina and plug that into my AV and sound system.

Any members use Imac for this sort ofstuff and is there any support
for a new comer like myself about.

Any advice would be very much appriciated.

Very best wishes.
Andy.

There is no way to set level in the Iphone.

Also voiceover will be in the way.

You would have to go around about and use itunes on your computer to

I’m not saying VLC is the best player either, its all down to preference of

true.

I did buy Winamp Pro, that’s how much I liked Winamp at one time however that 
was quite some time ago and since that time Winamp became very bloated and I 
started having crashes when I tried to play video, not just on one machine 
either and I discovered the incidents of Winamp crashing weren’t isolated so 
time to go looking for other players.

I also enjoy using Windows Media Player and a lot of people I’m sure will say 
that this player is straight forward.

And don’t tell me that Winamp has features that no other player does because 
that’s just not true.

And finally I’ve not tried the latest Winamp for Windows though I have 
downloaded the Mac and Android versions so may look at those a little later on, 
anyone here tried the Windows version yet? Perhaps you mightn’t be so wrapped 
in Winamp once its installed on your Windows system so I’ll be most eager to 
hear the.

Re: Apple Airport Extreme

If you’re happy with what you’re using then fine and if it works for you then 
all well and good.

All I’m saying is that - if you have the choice and you’re looking for 
something new or to upgrade to something good - then the Airport Extreme - as a 
new Router - is not worth considering given what else is available and I stick 
by that view.

Yes, the setup is easy but just because the Airport Extreme has an easy setup 
doesn’t mean its performance is the best.

Actually let the truth be told, all the Asus Wi-Fi Routers I’ve ever used also 
have a very easy setup wizard which will have you up and running in around 2 
minutes so if Asus has an easy setup wizard then I’m willing to bet that other 
brands do too.

With the Asus Routers you don’t need to download any special utility for 
windows, the minute your computer is connected to your Router the wizard will 
show up if the Router hasn’t already been configured.

I did some further research on the Apple AirPort Extreme and unfortunately I 
was absolutely right regarding the price of the thing.

In Australia it can be purchased for $299 and the Asus RTAC3200 in Australia is $349 
so I need not say any more on the subject , the Asus obviously being a

The Airdroid App has to be first installed on the systems it will be used with

When all Apps are logged into your Airdroid account the devices find each other

You can take calls, send/receive SMS messages, browse files on your Phone etc

Added to this is a web page so you can do a lot of that control remotely.

The only problem I’ve found with Airdrop is that its behaviour varies depending

Re: RTX Dualphone: Good For Skype And more

[Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona]

will this work with sip?
if not what cordless phone or usb hand set would you recommend?
Hank


On 10/24/2015 5:25 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote:

Hi!

I’ve had the RTX Dualphone for well over a month now so that’s given me plenty 
of time both to use and explore the system, find its strengths and weaknesses 
which I present for your evaluation and comment.

I use 3 different cordless phone systems in my house and I do wish that all the 
features and functionality of all three systems could be combined into one but 
the fact is this won’t ever happen given that the price of such a system would 
be one very few people would be willing to pay.

The RTX Dualphone is the system I most often use as it gives me connectivity 
between two Skype accounts and my PSTN line as well as a few bonuses I’ve found 
along the way.

The first is that the Dualphone works very well with Hearing Instruments 
whether you wish to connect them externally through the 3.5MM headset jack or 
use the T-Coil of your instruments if applicable, the sound is very loud and 
has quite a wide dynamic range, something to be expected I guess given the 
phone is to be used with Skype but such a dynamic range makes a great deal of 
difference when talking to people via a standard landline call which the 
Dualphone handles quite nicely.

The layout of the phone is simple enough, to soft keys left and right of a 
navigator key with, a call end end key above a standard numeric key pad.

The Soft Keys change their function depending on what mode you’re in but I 
found these changes easy to remember once I’d read the layout of the menu 
structure and so forth which is clearly outlined in the manual, as yet I 
haven’t experimented as to whether the number buttons will act as shortcuts in 
the menu system.

Setting the Dualphone out of the box is the hard part as this device doesn’t 
come with a HTML Interface so setup will have to be done with someone who can 
see the screen but the steps are in a logical order and easy for anyone to 
follow.

The Dualphone first asks for information about the country it is to be used in 
along with a matching country code.  The code determine the structure of 
outgoing numbers when using a Skype account or PSTN line.

The Phone then prompts for a Skype Username and password and its here that I 
found things get a bit tricky.  The password is easy enough to enter using the 
key pad however the password must be 10 characters or less in length and I 
didn’t see any reference to this in the manual, I only found out about this by 
trial and error.

Once all the user data is entered and saved the phone logs into Skype though 
you can choose if the phone automatically does this upon startup.

Making calls using my “Skype-Out” number was easily done by dialling the number 
on the key pad and pressing the “Call” button.  By default the Phone prompts 
the user which line to use for dealing, the “Skype”-out or “PSTN” number, 
“Skype-Out” is highlighted as the default so pressing of the left soft key has 
the phone use Skype for dialling, you can change the default behaviour in the 
settings menu of the phone so that you’re not prompted and the phone just uses 
Skype or PSTN at the touch of the button.

I also discovered that if the “Call” button is held down in “Standby” mode the 
phone by default will use the PSTN line for dialling which is handy to know for 
emergency situations.

One of the small annoyances with this phone is that you obviously don’t know 
which of your contacts is online at any time so dialling them directly using 
letters on the key pad really isn’t an option but this is trivial for me as I 
bought the phone really to be able to answer calls at those times when I was 
away from my computer and this is easily done by pressing the “Call” key as you 
would with any other cordless phone when you hear a call come in.

At this point the left Soft Key acts as a toggle between the speakerphone - 
which is quite reasonable - and the earpiece.

An Apple compatible headset can be connected to the Dualphone thus allowing the 
use of an external microphone built into the headset and the use of the “End” 
button found on the inline control to answer/end calls on the phone.

Ring Tones can be selected to personalise the phone for both incoming Skype and 
PSTN calls.

The phone has a good range of tone selections as well as flexible tone 
configuration options such as turing on notification tones to alert you of 
changing Skype conditions such as contacts coming online, a missed call, a 
voicemail left etc.

I can scroll through the contacts though this is really an exercise in memory 
more than anything else, I don’t have many contacts so I’m able to remember in 
which order they appear in my contacts list given that it is sorted in 
alphabetical order.  The Contacts list can be further customised depending on 
what contacts you wish to view such as just online or all contacts.

with the backup of the list called "rotatio" to play when another playlist
is not playing, before the next scheduled one begins.

There is a learning curve, you have to read a lot about either Shoutcast

or

Icecast, but once you master it, you can run your station from

pre-recorded

files as I do.  You would still need Station Playlist Studio  if you or

one

of your presenters wants to do a live program.

Hello Hank:

I also used Station Playlist Studio years ago, but haven't for years.  I
think you need it only to transmit live, from your own home or office,  not
to transmit pre-recorded programs, which is what I do, from the remote
Shoutcast server.

Hello I know 99.9 percent of blind folks use station playlist products.
I was also a user of that product.
I needed my license codes resent to me, and down load links reissued
they have a yearly support that you pay for a year and then you get all
updates and any releases for that year that your subscription is active.
at this time I can not pay for the subscription how ever I had a
physical hard drive die and needed my codes and download links resent to
me so I can get everything back online.
I purchased stationplaylist products back in 2002
and have been a loyal customer sense then
am looking for alternitive radio automation software that works with

RE: station playlist download links and license info?
Hi Hank,

Unfortunately a subscription is required before we can provide download
links or spend time searching for lost registration details, I'm sorry.
Here is

Hello Hank:

No, I don't use Centova Cast either, I create my playlists directly in
Shoutcast 2.  I installed Shoutcast 2, but you could use Icecast 2 instead
if you prefer, actually there is a version of that called Icecast KH  that
allows you to stream in AACP and be reproduced by Flash Player.

What I did was to set up a VPS and installed Shoutcast, then wrote some PHP
scripts, but you do not actually need scripts, what you need is to read up
on the structer of the streamer software, be it Shoutcast or Icecast, upload
the audio files to the appropiate folder for each playlist and create the
calendar file that the server needs to run each playlist at a certain time,
with the backup of the list called "rotatio" to play when another playlist
is not playing, before the next scheduled one begins.

Hi!

Quite some time ago I wrote to the list bemoaning the fact that a good Desktop 
phone seemed incredibly hard to find, at the time my 12 year old Panasonic 
desktop phone had died.

Another list member suggested that I lookup the range of Polycom products, a 
most useful suggestion though I found something that - whilst it wasn’t exactly 
what I had in mind - it nevertheless will be of great benefit, I’m talking 
about the Polycom Skype Hands Free conference speakerphone, I received it this 
morning, its now set up on my desktop and is better than I ever thought 
possible.

The first thing that struck me about this phone was how small it was, it could 
fit easily into a jacket pocket and even comes with a carry pouch so its 
completely portable.

The phone plugs into a USB port on a computer, has 2 microphones on the bottom 
and a speaker at the top.

The USB stores away rolled up under the desktop stand the phone rests on.

On the front of the phone are various buttons including volume up/down, a 
button to answerer/end calls and programmable buttons that can launch various 
applications or tasks, you can turn your webcam on for example.

Whilst the Polycom Skype phone is at home on a desk with a desktop computer I can’t 
help feeling - given the size of the device - how handy it would be for the user of a 
Notebook who is in the road, often in such cases Notebook speakers and microphones 
just don’t cut it when you need to use them for such things as Skype, the Polycom 
Skype Conference phone will do the trick in say a hotel room, the specifications 
state that the phone will pickup the voices of 4 people in a room, haven’t had the 
chance to try that yet .

express soft phone help

[Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona]

Hello on the express softphone
1 when the trial of the pro  features expire how do you get it to revert 
to the free version?
all it keeps saying is that the trial has expired and I have to purcahse 
the product to continue to use it it doesn't revert to the free version.
2.  on my voip provider the registration time that it needs to register 
to the provider needs to be 360 seconds there is no way in express 
softphone to change this is there a hidden way that I am not seeing to 
do this?

these 2 issues are not letting me use express softphone with my provider

i use it all the time. here are the instructions.
you go in to the preesets tab of the configuration, and
choose radio, then press the load button, then locate the close button
at the bottom of the screen and left click it, then in cross fading
tab, move the signal analyze thing down to negative 15, and in the fade
on stop skip, check the box that says flush the buffer, then in the
advanced tab, uncheck the box that says cross fade tracks longer than,

I know how to get hold of royalty-free music for magazines, podcasts

You have options by the million here, if you have a computer running Windows 7 
then you could use that as a server or add extra functionality with software

You can use a dedicated server such as a WD My Cloud or a rooter with the 
option to enable a DLNA/UPNP server with the connection of a hard drive and so 
it goes on.

Media House is an Android App which literally allows you to browse any DLNA

For example, you could browse the media recorded on your Fetch TV Set Top Box 
and stream the recordings you’ve made to your Smart Television.

Media House is the first App I’ve seen that takes the DLNA concept and puts it 
in reverse.

For example, run Media House on your Android device and you’ll see all the 
media on your Android device on your computer, Play Station, Smart Television 
or computer with a compatible DLNA Media Player such as Windows Media Player or 
VLC installed, this would allow you to stream music straight from your Android 
Device to a player, stereo system, in fact anything which is DLNA compatible.

Media House is freely available so certainly worth a look.
