    Budget Ratio Speakers/Sub

    Hey all, I?d love to add a sub just to enhance the bottom of end of my system and I also believe that it would even out the occasional harsh top note. I really don?t have immense budget and would probably look at used ones but I need a target model or two. I can hear a 40hz tone easily on my...

    Do they ?zoom? in and out in audio mixing and mastering?

    As the title says, do they zoom into solos in some mixes? It really messes with imaging when suddenly the whole drum kit is spread across the soundstage. Also, anyone find a piano much harder to pinpoint in the image, maybe because of its size? Thanks!

    WhatHifi Favourite Speakers of All Time

    Pinch of Salt. Funny how the B&W 602s3 they mentioned in the list doesn?t feature in their list of best B&W products of all time.

    Disturbed by a Podacst

    Unless someone can hopefully point me in a refreshingly new direction, I have run out of decent audiophile podcasts to listen to. They all seem to arrive, interview Andrew Jones, the Dirac Frenchman, maybe the Schiit people and then last episode July 2019! The one that has hung around is called...

    Noticing vs Hearing

    Hi Folks, Would you say there?s a difference in noticing something in a recording played on better equipment than hearing it. What I?m getting at is how reviewers rave when they hear something that they claim they?ve never heard before. Most common examples are Michael Jackson clicking his...

    Who here can make speaker cables ?

    Hi It's easy. Buy the cable, buy the best banana plugs you cab find and there you go. If you're in Gauteng speak to Max at 012-997-2345 or 072-289-8402, he imports Mogami. The best bananas around in my experience are the inakustic. Try HFX 011-907-9092 or Sky Audio +27 (0)12 665 2932 Watch...

    Remote control Of iPad - Help please !

    I started out with an RPi but found it a bit unrefined. I got a hat dac for it but it was laggy and as I said, rough. Perhaps if I could find a hat with an optical out I would retry it but the locals don?t import them and think you cuckoo when you look for one. I then tried the Yamaha wxA10 but...

    Cables or Coat hangers?

    As the original poster, I am able to say that, to me, the change in my humble system from Lynxx 1.5mm to Chord Clearway was immediately audible to me and my non-audiophile daughter.
