Just had my first experience with an LP that had been split into to vinyls. That’s an average 2.5 songs per side. They must be listed with other ridiculous HiFi practices/equipment that cross the line where any sonic benefits are wholly crushed by the inconvenience that they are ridiculous...

Hi, I’m visiting a relative in Cape Town shortly who wants me to run a REW measurement on his system. Should he want to apply filters, is there anything available that could be used? The chain is Uniti Atom into Manley Stingray II into Nautilus 801’s. Something like a miniDsp or the like? Thanks.

Haha 😂

My 2c: -exponential diminishing returns once you pass Japanese flashing lights; -the fewer displays the better; -speaker position is crucial; -vinyl’s sound quality is miraculous; -streamers can be cheap and good with the right DAC; -speaker cables matter; -the bigger the amp the better; -hifi...

Anyone running their systems off inverters? Is it even possible? I always say that if we need to run away, South African men could get jobs as pool-guys because we all have had to deal with a pool at one stage or another. Now I think SA is going to become the Class D centre of the world. Also...

What does this forum have against Bentley Speakers? Why does this appear on the Joke of the Day Thread? 😂

Hi all, Here is my latest experience with WiiM mini: Post in thread 'Wiim Mini Streamer' https://www.avforums.co.za/threads/wiim-mini-streamer.102664/post-1126105

There have been a few times when I’ve upgraded kit and heard an unquestionable difference for the better. When I went from Lynx 1.5mm speaker cable to Chord Clearwater-(even my daughter who’s not into this at all said wow), when I got my speaker position right. The latest is the new MQA added...

I had the Audioengine B-Fi, a better version than the B1 (B1 is Bluetooth, B-Fi is Wifi), not bad but limited to 44.1/16 if that's an issue, but I changed to the Wiim Mini and much prefer it. That is with an external DAC. If you plan to use the built in DAC, the B-Fi may be better.

Anyone please? Thanks

Showing errors. Thanks

Is your router close by and working during load shedding? I was getting a buzz from the right speaker in my system and a Rotel RA-05 and it turned out to be the "Wi-Fi over ac" access point.

There are two answers that I have encountered, one human-physiological and one spiritual. On the physical side there is an article in the Mogami cable catalogue where it states: "the transmission system from ear to brain is two-dimensional, and operation is done at orthotomic surface; further...

Hi all, I recently toed my speakers in and then balanced my Sub using REW to get the response as flat as possible. This included altering the sub's phase. I then applied some filters from REW and the music sparkled and the 3d effect popped compared to when I was facing them straight out of the...

Brilliant!!!!

Yes, at 192/24.

Congratulations!!!! Brilliant news!!! I have one and it’s insane with an external DAC. I’m still not convinced that you’ll get better from a more expensive product. It’s bit perfect. (I know!!!! The clock and noise etc…) but it has insane detail. Check out this review where all he seems to be...

Hi, I am already using the streamer into a DAC and even though the manual EQ is not available yet, there are presets I can apply and they do work in the digital Toslink out connection. My question is how the EQ is applied, in other words, there are two possible ways that I, as a non-engineer or...

PS: To those who are able to answer the above, please tell me where I can go to learn all about DAC's and streams etc... too. Thanks
