Ever since the beginning of time, record companies always hid the side number in a sea of type so you had to study the label to see if it was side 1/a or 2/b. Why? Wasn't  that all we wanted to see? ;) ;)

WOW!!! Thank you!!!!

Hi All, Firstly, how low need a sub go for music in a 2.1 system? 30Hz, 27,Hz, 20Hz???!!! Also, there are two specs quoted with some subs, Freq Response and Freq Range. What's the difference and which are we to look at? Finally, anyone have a "super low budget but good enough to fill in some...

Hi All, Does anyone have experience and/or opinion on the ASW300 sub from B&W? How it would do to round off a set of standmounters (685 s2). Thanks!!!

I was introduced to HiFi in 1987 when my (now, then new gf) wife played Money for Nothing for me on her dad?s system, then a Technics CD player, Quad pre and power amp and B&W DM6?s in Stellenbosch. My father in law now lives in Cape Town and we live in Jo?burg and I haven?t got to see him...

Thanks all!!

100% correct. it has input for L + R separately but there's a point of an old RCA stuck in the left socket and i don't know how to extract it. It's in deep. The pre-amp in a Rotel RC-995

I decided to try out my tiny Yamaha old home-theater sub with my stereo system just to add a bit of warmth to the bass. My preamp has two outputs for each channel. Because the sub only has one functioning RCA input, I used a cable that combined the left and right outputs from my preamp and...

I've found over the last few weeks that there's something really cool about trolling second hand record shops and buying a few here and there and going home and playing them end to end through he house. so lekker!

As the title says, Thanks

Did anyone try the Audioengine b-fi as a source only? Half the price of the Zen Stream, very little about it on the web but it had a toslink out and bearing in mind Stephen Stone's opinion, it's a more refined experience that RPi and no yearly Roon subscription. Available locally from Ultra...

Hi All, Any suggestions where to go today to browse for LP's? Markets, charity shops, reasonable record stores? in Gauteng? Thanks

That?s it. Just putting it out there. My vinyl rig is very modest (Rotel RP-830 bought for R20 on an auction and Ortifon 320 cartridge) and I?ve bought a few albums here and there from markets and the like. Put some on tonight and just brilliant. To think this technology from 1870 it?s able to...

Hi all, Any vinyl fairs on today? Thanks

I heard a Korean Flashing Light Box at cash convertors a while ago and it wasn't dreadful.

I remember visiting Daan Jacobs in his "Lab" at RS when he was working in designing or modifying his MOSFET monoblocs and he used that CD for listening. He told me it was because it had the lowest output so was safest to work with. The original Mango Groove album was also a "low-talker" but one...

Wish I was looking to buy. I just want to hear how they sound after watching a really interesting YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Ja9BJn0lMxI

Hi All, My (active) pre-amp's output V is 1V whilst my DAC's is 2V. I always thought that a pre-amp boosts the signal and gives more volume but now that I see that it's output is lower than all but Phono, why have an active pre-amp at all? Doesn't a passive one give a much shorter, cleaner...

Like the title. Anywhere to hear Harbeths in Jo?burg? I?ve read so much about them.

Are main speakers meant to be playing during a sub-woofer crawl? Thanks
