    High end speakers

    Listened to both the 802D (paired with marantz/ Mcintosh) and epicon 8 (paired with electrocompaniet/ oppo). If memory serves me right, I preferred the epicon 8 sound. It goes without saying that you should audition your selection.

    Bad experience

    more like it... the silly loss means nothing to me. it?s that last ounce of gentlemanliness that isn?t there, even in the response above.

    Bad experience

    there?s nothing adult about what you are saying win555 ? As an adult Hi-Fi audiophile, you have made your smart gain and as the crying kid I made a silly loss. That?s cheers to you!  NOW GIVE IT A REST ?ADULT HI-FI AUDIOPHILE?

    Bad experience

    I see this topic has been discussed to death. I fall into the category that members should not profit from items bought here ? Gumtree, AVSA, OLX, whatever is for that. On other hand you have individuals that won?t resist a chance to make a fast buck. Certain things you just can?t regulate. We...

    Bad experience

    Didn?t I say he?s got the right to sell at whatever price he deems fit? And exactly on what basis are you labelling me a hypocrite? If you don't have a meaningful response, rather say nothing ? but labelling someone a hypocrite without a credible basis is uncalled for.

    Bad experience

    October 2014 I sold an item to a forum member. We agreed on the final price after I refused his request for an additional discount ? the lad claimed he travelled quite far from Pretoria. He auditioned and checked the condition of the unit. We concluded the transaction amicably, and he even...

    Cambridge Audio 751BD

    both sensible arguments; bluray is going the way of cd and the 751BD deserves a dedicated ht ? in fact more like your setup naughty. i know my way around digitizing discs but I don?t like fiddling with computers?tough call. i?m banking on the rand hitting R15 quite soon and all of a sudden R10k...

    Cambridge Audio 751BD

    not sure if should I sell my Cambridge Audio 751BD player? i have limited bluray discs (mostly box sets) and I don?t have plans to implement a home cinema system to extract its full potential. at the same time I worry that I may need it in future (hoarder mentality); a replacement (the 752BD)...

    Awesome speakers AudioMule! That SF cabinet is pure class. You must upgrade that AV stand ? it does not do your gear justice. How big is your listening room (m2) and how far are the speakers from the rear wall and side walls? Do they come with bungs to control LF?s?

    Post Office

    Hard to believe but I had a positive experience recently with EMS/ Post Office. I bought my first item on eBay from a chap in R?merberg, Germany. The parcel took 2 weeks from despatch in Germany to land in SA. There were some delays with the Post Office due to the strike. After phoning around at...

    Digital streamer optimised for audio playback

    So I haven't done much in between except get an audioquest USB cable. Tried selling the m1 dac with no luck. Auditioned the primare np30 at Sky Audio listening rooms - they used kef blades and acoustic arts monoblocks and pre amp; went home overwhelmed. So tonight I switched from laptop running...

    What Are Your Musical Influences?

    The first piece music I owned was discarded cassettes of Phil Collins. That was back in 1990 or so. And I have always loved his music. Then came Studio Mix, the first version. They played varied early late 80s and early 90s hits by the likes of Sade, Roxette, Anita Baker, U2, Ace of Base, etc...

    Thirteen Hof .........Johannesburg

    Exciting stuff indeed!!! And by the way good choice of location. It aint Sandton (never liked it ? maybe cos I can?t afford it) but it is an interesting part of town. Hey with the Radium Beer Hall close by  :dop:, it will easier to compare live music to playback through those Gryphon amps and...
