    Cleaning vinyl

    What Happpened To The Elusive Soundstage?

    It seems to me that the soundstage is a very elusive"thing". One could possibly compare it to the so called G-spot which is equally elusive and those who havn't experienced it don't really miss it and those who have are at least full of praise and excitement...

    Customs Duty

    Thanks David for the exhaustive reply. Just to make sure of one important point: Although items below a value of R500 are duty free VAT is still payable ?? So, the couriers swallowing the DUTY to speed things up actually avoid VAT as well ?

    Customs Duty

    What is the situation actually with CUSTOMS DUTY PAYABLE ???? It appears that even the smallest consignment from Overseas is held by Customs and they take their cut-even for items costing 15 Pounds or 15 Dollars--irrespective of what it is...... Do occasional imports by private persons are...

    Of course my story of the girlfriend - maybe desirable - was not true. 1. I am too old to have a girlfriend 2. I am happily married for the second time after my first wife's passing in 2012 Just to prevent the birth of a wrong opinion........

    SUB to AMP connection

    I received a reply from NAD Customer Service re; SUB connection to a NAD C352. I don't se any reason WHY that should not be applicable to all other cases connecting a PRE AMP OUT to a single RCA equipped SUB.

    SUB to AMP connection

    Hi...Many thanks , that article and video hit the problem full on the head. As beggars can't be choosers , I put lots of trust in his article and ordered a Y-array (resistorized) with 3 male RCA's. The price was $38 plus shipping. I trust in the creator and the SUMMING cable.
