Recently bought a Jan Garberek In Praise of Dreams CD. Its jazz but learning more towards scandinavian chill music, with hints of classic. Initially I was put off but more listening opened my mind to it. I also got Black Uhuru Liberation Anthem double disc. Its 70s/80s but the quality of the...

My only comment is use th iPod to store your tunes in lossless format (ALAC) and get something like Wadia.  Check out link: http://stereos.about.com/od/accessoriesheadphones/fr/Wadia-170i-Transport-Ipod-Dock-With-Bryston-Bda-1-Dac.htm

judging by the number of members on this forum and 2nd hand advertisers on AVSA, this COULD work...the sandton venue while nice and all, im sure its pretty expensive...there must be better alternatives like schools, churches, etc  ;D ...an entrance fee is a must, some proceeds will go towards...

can sound quality on the cheap sony bdp be improved by using a DAC if using RCA connections into stereo amp?  just curious and i wonder if any DAC offer RCA in/out...

really tough times. they hosted it at level 2 of the centre (probably cheaper than ground level)...very few products on offer (incl fridges!). worst observation: 1 exhibitor demo'ing jamo r909 high end speakers + parasound amps there. they needed a proper listening room. i really miss the hifi...

i see there's quite a lot of network music players being launched overseas: players like cambridge audio np30, yamaha np s2000, musical fidelity m1 iclic, nad c446, etc. all intended to banish cd's, and stream audio in various ways off the net. any thoughts on this? anyone using such devices and...

sorry to hijack the thread but it is still possible to connect the sub via speaker level connections right? running speaker cables from stereo amp to sub and from sub to speakers or running cables from the speaker's 2nd set binding posts (with the bridger in place) to the sub.

its all about the music listened via decent gear thats simple to use and looks good (secondary consideration)...its expensive though like all other finer things in life! glenfiddich 18yr old simply tastes better than klippies...

I fell for the bi-wire voodoo; i gave up trying to discern audio differences and now i just love the look of my speakers will all connections used  ;D not sure about the comment on upgrading speakers first...i listened to my mine using a high current stereo amp and they opened up a lot (normally...

NAD (wont mention name). The guys in Vereeniging have accepted a home audition request... 8) 

why is it difficult to get a home audition for hifi gear? called a distributor of a UK equipment to check prices and availability. i was told the equipment i'm interested in is not available in the country and it will have to the imported (with me paying for the importation costs!!!). they then...

Late reply. I use B&W CM7 which were replaced by the CM8. The CM7 bass is good but not wow. The go loud cleanly if fed decent power (listened to them driven by the 200w/8ohms rotel 1582 power amp). In a narrow and long room they sound great. I use the bungs to control the bass out the rear...

Thanks Guys for your help. At Fdlsys I will try the tape outs. I cant place the sub at the front due to space contraints unless I get rid of the AV rack. I don't have a dedicated listening room unfortunately (hopefully someday). The current sub placement works pretty well for music and movies...
