yea especially if they are going low cost. In all honesty, if a unit failed, replace the whole unit as opposed to any kind of repair work. At that price point it would cost you an unfeasible amount to repair even if local backup was available

I had a similar experience trying to make beer. It has proved to be far more expensive and far less successful than a store bought beer, there is, however, a rather big caveat. The learning process of how beer is made, and the understanding the process behind its manufacture (even though I am...

not sure about locally, but I couple of years ago I bought a cheap Chinese made t amp, from a company called s.m.s.l on ebay. works like a charm, cost in the region of R600 and delivers a decent sound

haha was literally about to post the same article I don't know much about lossless vs mp3 etc (which is what this is comparing I think) What I would say is that system makes a big difference. I know personally from order of magnitude if I listen to something on headphones through my computers...

What's worth keeping in mind is most of the older stuff <1985 (and even some pretty iconic stuff after that) was recorded on tape through an analogue desk and processed through something similar. Most of these will have been digitally remastered, and without starting flame war, many would say...

I?m fairly new to the hifi game, after a few years of playing and appreciating music I decided to delve into the hifi hobby. At the moment my system is focused around an Arcam a28 running into a set of Dali Ikon 6?s (the Mk 1?s). I chose the Dali?s as they are known for being quite ?excitable...
