    Lindemann

    Interesting view and I see reason in what you say, however about ten years ago I dumped 80% of my CDs and haven't found myself missing them. The other 20% I typically only listen to in the car and they are CDs that are not available on streaming services. I have around 500 LPs and haven't...

    Materials for inexpensive speaker isolation

    I purchased these several years back and have been satisfied with them. Made for vibration of heavy machinery so I'm sure it does the trick for speakers. Anti-vibration pads

    I found enjoyment and satisfaction in my journey with high-quality cables! For many audiophiles, the pursuit of sonic excellence and the exploration of different equipment and configurations are integral parts of the hobby.

    How much do cables matter?

    Paul from PS Audio on one of his YouTube videos this week, stated that if you cant really heard a difference in different cables its possible that your speakers are not resolving enough.

    Whats the value of your ears?

    I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have two pairs of different sounding speakers. Obviously they should both sound good to your ears but as said by others your preferences change and having different sounding speakers helps appreciate their differences. In my experience to a point also prevents...

    Advice on LAN/Ethernet cable

    I can hear slight differences but even with the uber expensive one that I have the difference is insignificant. Out of the normal consumer grade cables I found the CAT8 from Ugreen to be quite good. Its a 24AWG cable and is cheap as chips. Takealot has several different lengths.

    New Tidal HiRes (Max tracks) vs Roon (@CD level)?

    I'd be interested to hear what members experience when they say that they prefer Tidal over Roon. I tested using Tidal Connect and Roon into an IFI Stream going into a Lampizator DAC. I do hear differences but to my ears Tidal seems to be have less mid range slam and colour, which I especially...

    Shoutout to Audio Tweak

    Been a few queries regarding the details of the upgrade so here we go: 1. Replaced the power cable with a Teflon coated cable; Teflon is known for its shielding and damping properties. 2. Replaced the speaker cable with a Duelund cable which is highly respected for the "organic" sounding cables...

    Shoutout to Audio Tweak

    I would just like to give a huge shout out to Ramsey at @Audio Tweak for the work done to my audio system. Some may have seen my comments on the ODAM thread where one of my Valve Audio Exclames was upgraded. The amplifier is truly amazing, and for those that are happy with their Valve Audio...

    What makes Sonor Audio speakers special!, the first in a series of videos narrated by the man himself Roy Witelson.

    Awesome video! Having experienced a taste of Sonor Audio at the Audio Show in Johannesburg a little while ago, I was truly impressed with what talent we have available locally.
