    Film Memorabilia / Action Figures

    Often some of the nicer HT rooms and set ups have collections of Action Figures (some of which are breath taking i.t.o realism). Does anyone on the forum have collections of movie replicas or higher- end action figures?

    Question for the Traders ?

    Im not a trader but from the general increases i have seen on some products already we are in for a rough ride (i forsee me having to go second hand if ever i want to upgade). The issue remains though that once the price goes up it wont come back down (even if the Rand magically recovered...

    generally the electronis repairs will take abit longer, but they tend to do good work (not always cheap, but they offer a warranty should something go wrong)

    New Wharfdale Jade Series

    yeah wharfedale is pretty damn good, possibly the best value for money speakers out there. the evo series is a favourite of mine. very good sound and brilliant quality. saw a vid the other day of a factory tour, very impressive facility that produces some great products, quad, castle, audiolab...

    Best amp you have listened to? I need a new one.

    cyrus rocked my socks off, very real sound. i would recommend a good cyrus mono x 300,its got power but most of all it has precision. really good stuff but also pretty expensive. otherwise mark levinson is also superb. but yeah price/performance id go for cyrus, great detail from those...

    Stereo system questions

    ive got both a stereo and ht set up, and both have their merits. if you want the best possible quality then use a cd player to play cd's, similarly priced cd players outperform their dvd player counterparts in terms of cd reproduction. as for run in time it depends on the amp, but you should...
