    Damn....

    They are also saying her skull was crushed by a cricket bat or something so looks like it was premeditated murder gone wrong, she was in her nightie so they were in bed.  Here is my guess at what happened.  They had a fight, I think cops were called and they calmed the situation down, cops leave...

    Recommendations for DAC/network player

    The DAC my brother ordered only arrived today, its sounds quite impressive to me but having to order it online from overseas might be a bit expensive for you.  He ordered it from http://www.quartzacoustic.com/ in case you are interested.  Price with shipping and better vacuum tube was just under...

    Recommendations for DAC/network player

    My brother ordered the Aune T1 24bit USB DAC Tube Headphone Amp, it will be delivered tomorrow.  It's supposed to be quite good so will let you know how good it is, his headphones he is using are the V-Moda M-100 which sounded great so will be interesting to see just how much better they'll sound.

    Future of 3D TV

    3D will have its time but that is still a way out.  People will enjoy it when no glasses are needed and it seems like it is/actually is projecting out of the screen with good viewing angles and positions.

    ADSL vs HSDPA/HSUPA

    Depends on what you want to use it for, for heavy downloading and gaming go with uncapped ADSL but if you just send a few emails and browse a few sites then go with whatever is more cost effective.  ADSL will be more reliable stable connection and like others have said lower latency so browsing...

    Help with choosing AVR

    They don't seem to make the more affordable models like they used to, I'll have to make sure I get a good warranty in case I get unlucky.  Can any of you guys recommend good AV stores in the johannesburg area so I can go listen to a few more toys before I make my mind up?

    Help with choosing AVR

    I've had Onkyo in the past and had no problems but haven't tested any of their more recent models so a bit worried with so many people complaining about reliability and the HDMI issues as well.

    Help with choosing AVR

    The speakers I'm thinking of getting are the following from polk audio: TSi-400 floorstanding speakers, CS10 center speaker, TSi-100 bookshelf speakers and the PSW125 subwoofer.  The shop selling the speakers recommended the Onkyo TX-NR616 for R9000, did some research online and quite a few...

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    I've had my plasma TV, a Samsung PS51E550, for a short while now and I'd thought I would let you guys know how things are going.  For the price it is a brilliant TV, I've managed to calibrate it so the picture is beautiful, especially at night.  I've been watching lots of HD movies and really...

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    Thanks for the advice, it seems like a better deal as well as it is slightly cheaper.  I think I'll go pick up the E550 next week, the store is only 100 meters from my house which is convenient.

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    Managed to find the specs, http://www.panasonic.co.za/viera-television/viera-plasma-television/panasonic-th-p50u30q-full-hd-plasma-tv.asp  I noticed the moving resolution is 900 vs 750 for the Samsung, I'm assuming that will be better for sports.

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    Anyone have any detailed specs on the Panasonic TH-50U30Q?  Which would be better, that or the Samsung E550?  Searching Google doesn't turn much up on the Panasonic, I guess you have to know where to look.  I'm going to make my decision end of the month.

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    I got a quote for the Panasonic UT50 for around R13900 exc VAT, is that a decent price and is the Panasonic worth it over the Samsung 51 inch e550?

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    I'd rather pay the extra money for the full HD, not interested in 3D either.

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    Not planning on moving but I just seem to move all over the place, 3 different countries in the last two years.  I really want to settle back down here in SA but life will take you where it pleases sometimes.

    Lcd, Led or Plasma

    I'm interested in purchasing a plasma for around R10 000, which would you well informed individuals recommend I go for?  I like the Panasonic plasmas but they are quite pricey, not sure how long I'll be in SA so I don't really want to drop major cash on a TV just yet...
