Cool. Thanks mate! Not that loud really. Like normal home listening volume.

Hey folks, I'm trying to set up 4 ceiling speakers to save space, so I picked up a cheap amplifier 2nd hand and connected it with bare wires. After about 30 secs, it blew up! . There was a bit of smoke and a "pop" sound. Anyways, brought the amp back, told them it didn't work and got my money back so no worries there (even though it was my own fault because I discovered that that particular amp only supports 2 speakers and the impedance was wrong :$ ). My question is, can blowing an amp affect a mixer or the sound quality of it? I just got a brand new mixer (HAK 360), and I didn't test it out before trying to hook up the amp so I don't know what the default sound is supposed to be like. There a bit of feedback noise when plugging in my headphones. I don't remember it being that bad on my old PMC-05. I was just playing an mp3 from my computer through line on the mixer when it happened, so it shouldn't be able to affect the mixer when the sound is being output from PC to mixer to amp should it? Maybe a loose connection somewhere? I was using gold plated jack converter before for my headphones, but lost it, and am just using a regular one now. Could that just be the problem? Sorry, I'm just worried that I might have damaged it somehow as it was quite an expensive mixer, so please tell me it's not possible! Oh and if anyone can recommend a good cheap amp that supports 4 speakers I'd be very grateful! Thanks! Soren

Haha damn now you'll never believe me! Those are all the exact same in Danish! Salt, under, and flag would just be pronounced differently. I'll bring my passport to the pub ok! @Cambian: That sounds great! I'm in Mile End so not too far. I'd definitely be up for a session! And thanks for the warm welcome Steve and everyone else!

Do you hapen to be into docking at all? Only joking. If you fancy it a few of us will be at the Kenton in Hackney on Friday night. Two of us will be DJing. Haha! Hmm. Yeah why not. I live really close to Hackney so might as well pop by.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Soren. Originally from Denmark, but now living in London. I started scratching about 10 years ago, but lost interest quickly because I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere or developing at all. Didn't have any Internet back then for tutorials, my mixer was utter crap, and I couldn't figure out how people did all those crazy things so I ended up selling my decks about 2 years after I bought them. I missed them ever since though, and picked up a pair of Techs again about 2 years ago. It's so much easier to learn the techniques nowadays with all the video tutorials and forums etc., and I also got a proper scratch mixer this time around. Been practicing like mad the last 2 years and I'm constantly developing now, which is definitely adding to the fun factor . I also mix the odd time, and play a few small gigs here and there, but most of my time is spent cutting it up . I'm pure vinyl for the time being, but I'm strongly considering going digital and getting a DVS. I love vinyl, but it's getting hard/expensive to find what you want, so i figured I'd get the best of both worlds. I'm glad I found this place. Seems like a great forum with a lot of fellow scratch nerds. See you all around! Soren
