I'd hazard that it depends on one's standards, perhaps? For the average person who just listens to their favourite style of music on that system on weekends and occasionally, I'd think it would sound pretty decent. For a serious music afficionado who expects very high quality levels from their...

I did the same thing over December and wanted to start off by getting decent releases of some well known works (Handel's Water Music, Orff's Carmina Burana, Holst's "Planets", etc). I started off by reading many, many reviews of locally available releases and haven't been disappointed. I did...

I know of "Salon Music" in Brooklyn Mall (in Pretoria, sorry). They specialize in purely classical music though and may be able to point you to something closer to Jhb http://www.brooklynmall.co.za/shop.htm?shopMGID=38417

This, for the majority of HTPC requirements.

I'm in the 30-60 /day group, when I get a chance to pop in the phones and shut off the disturptions (disturbing disruptions) for a while

True dat. I was happily surprised at the sound compared to some live shows I've listened to before. My jaw dropped at the way Flea and Anthony carried on that long. Simply being able to experience a band of their caliber in-person, and in such fine form, gave me goosebumps. Hearing many familiar...

Not a huge RHCP fan, but I own Californication, enjoyed Kiddes's "Scar Tissue" biography (wotta read) and like their sound. So, the concert? It rawked my boat, seriously. Die Antwoord rawked my boat also. I enjoyed every minute of their show and loved everyfrickinglastsecond of the RHCP. Anthony...

That's a huge music-listening-room/computer-corner area. Huge!

Somewhere in the mess that is "handshaking" and timing of events, modern digital gear seems to trip itself up.

1 more here joining the Haddaway choir: "Please don't go, please don't goooooo" O0 Without useful, practical contributions from long-standing members, the site will shrivel up and blow away in the wind!

Definitely experiencing this with our Samsung 46EH6030 telly. Previously had a 24" LCD monitor with no issues on the power-up. Now the new telly doesn't detect the HTPC, UNLESS we 1st start up the HTPC, then the Marantz AVR (and allow the amp to complete the startup cycle) and finally the telly...

Which parts of Gauteng does this person service? We may be calling on a plumber in Pta East

There's really one main cause for the murder - the sick actions of the perpetrator. Thinking along those lines would leave one in a little puddle of guilt over every possible bad thing that may have happened as an "indirect result" of one's actions or inaction. Intentional, direct effects of...

This. When I was shopping for speakers late last year, I visited 1 place in Cresta and 4 in Pretoria, only to be disappointed by the experience. Sounds Great still had the facilities to have an enjoyable listening experience, but otherwise, the stores will packed with a few boxes with no way to...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Audiozone doesn't exist any more, as they've been swallowed/amalgamated/wotever by Surebrands (see link above and the Audiozone home page). Sadly the prices you've linked to are out-dated. I called the Audiozone number last year to hear from Joe himself...

Agreed. They're available from Surebrands for less: http://audio.surebrands.co.za/index.php?route=product/product&path=646_690&product_id=3380

FWIF, here's a list of parts I used for our HTPC 18 months ago. It's primary use is streaming video and music and runs Openelec: - Zotac H67-ITX Wifi - Intel I3-2100T - 2x2Gb DDR3 - 1.5Tb Seagate Green 5900RPM HDD. Slower RPM = very quiet operation with no impact on streaming data. - 650W...

To add to your list: - Imax: Hubble 3D - Cave of Forgotten Dreams (Blu-ray 3D) Since buying the 46EH6030 (!), I've been hunting for good quality 3D blurays to own. I'm not keen on owning stacks of disks that clutter up the place and with affordable uncapped ADSL it's hardly worth buying DVD's...

Hahaha!  :BWAHAHAH: That's pretty funny and yet with a note of pure truth as well

Nice to see quite a few 'whiskey' fans about. My all-time favourite "go-to" is regular "Tullamore Dew", it's a sweeter, easy-drinking whiskey that works really well splashed on the rocks, or mixed, or even in a coffee. I bought the 10yr old and found it slightly harsher. I've tried a few other...
