AlienLama, i suspect there may be a few active musicians here, like me, lurking. Of course the sadly missed fdlsys was one. I’m a handy guitarist and I’ve dabbled in double bass, piano, and woodwinds. Lately I have been getting back to the chromatic harmonica as a sort of poor man’s Toots...

Thank you, Lance for having us around. Great company, great music and magnificent sound quality. I particularly enjoyed our chat about music and, related to that, the discussion about the sonic differences between the two amp setups. Suffice it to say that either way I enjoyed sitting at arm’s...

Lance holds forth on the intricacies of turntable design while we wait for the coals to develop.

Brian Bester all set up and raring to go…

AUDIO EXPO TAKES CENTRE STAGE AT THE NEWLANDS SUN HOTEL FROM 15-17 SEPTEMBER 2023 Get set for the home entertainment event of the year: the Cape Town Audio Expo. On at the Newlands Sun Hotel from September 15 to 17, the Expo promises to be a must-see gathering for music and video fans...

The evaluation tracks Chris refers to above comprise the original and its processed version for comparison. There is a range of genres; several are audiophile favourites, old, new, mono, stereo, vinyl rips and more. Total file size is 20 G, not 20 Mb.

If you mean mine, Quad 405-2.

I see you have made progress, but for what it’s worth I bought LS3/5A front grilles from Falcon and their communication and shipping process were excellent. I dealt directly with Jerry Bloomfield.

The unit you mention comfortably copes with standard two- to two-and-a-half-hour load shedding, we found. Price is reduced, too, i see. Check your required voltages - you may be able to get away with a cheaper model that has fixed outputs; this one?s adjustable.

Thank you for this. I?ll be seeking out more Mokave. Irrespective of the sound quality, this recording spoke to me straight away, even listening via Apple Music on my phone. I started with the album?s opening track, which sounded oddly familiar, particularly the bass playing and general feel...

More or less evenly and within seconds. Switch on amp, select ear speakers, settle back in comfortable chair, select music? that?s as long as it takes.

Nicely done, KK. SR-5 Gold user here. Quite likely 40 years old and still phenomenal.

As Jozua said, what a pleasure to be able to get together again in the same room after a lockdown-induced layoff. Perhaps the listening faculties were a bit rusty, but the red wine may have helped oil the discourse. Our evening kicked off with an introduction to Devialet and the patented hybrid...

Mostly cash. Some dealers do have SnapScan.

Ah. Air, thank you for clarifying. And thank you for kicking off this discussion. Gavinbirss makes important contributions to the conversation: 1. The medium matters. 2. The content creator matters. 3. Strategic buy-in matters. It?s a conversation we have, from time to time, at the Cape Town...

Having myself been active for the best part of three decades in the world in which Deon made his living (automotive and tech media), this is a subject close to my heart. I do wonder, though, if a starting point of ?serving the industry? can be reconciled with the point of view hammered into me...

A rare individual, a real gent and a generous sharer of himself. It?s a sad day indeed.

Unfortunately, I read some of the comments first, so expectation bias may have kicked in. For the, er, record, when comparing, I discarded recording 2. Recording 1: surface noise more evident and wider across the soundstage. Voice sounds a little breathy and, for want of a better...
