    Battery powered audiophile

    Here I am. My house is totally of the grid, and I mean totally. Not only a full solar system that can generate up to 15 kW per day, but we also derive our water from the river and sewerage to a septic tank. So I am a battery run audiophile. No load shedding here. Mates laughed at me when I...

    Consonance Droplet CDP experiences?

    I too run all consonance gear. Use their calaf mkII intergrated, Very happy, and no issues thus far. The orfeo Cdp can be a bit picky on scratched discs, that's about it. Very good stuff. Agent was a nightmare, but as others have said, he seems to be out of the opera audio business.

    How to calculate power usage?

    Yup, I use one for my whole house and we are solar. They work well, better than the wireless one's that is inaccurate.

    Hello Claro

    I had a pair of Capella briefly on demo. I liked them, but they were rather lean, esp considering the dual 8inch drivers. I love the look, the pair I had were sprayed off white.

    B&W Maserati price revealed.

    I would hope most people who could afford to spend that on speakers without it touching sides, also spends a fair bit giving back to people who are less fortunate than themselves. It nice to have nice things, and I like nice things just like everyone else does, but I also have a strong sense of...

    LG 47 "LE8500

    Yes, defiantly off.  I just cannot understand how neither the slider control nor the energy saver setting have any effect. According to the manual I should be able to adjust the backlight via the pic menu, or set energy saver level I.e. Min max etc. but nothing! That also say in the Manuel one...

    LG 47 "LE8500

    Thanks for the help, I have tried turning energy saving off completely, but still I try to adjust the backlight via the menu slider, as with colour, brightness etc...the is no diff in the backlight from 0 - 100. Strange!! I think it's broken, that's the technical term I believe :-) nothing...

    LG 47 "LE8500

    What it is supposed to do IS dim the backlight. However, it does not, nor does the backlight slider work. So there is no way to reduce the backlight. This is the issue. Worth mentioning is that this TV is a"Full" led tv, meaning the whole display is lighted by led's, which is what gives it such...

    LG 47 "LE8500

    Thought I would take a chance. Cannot get the "energy saver" function/feature to work on this TV. I bought some time ago, around early 2011, but never needed the feature until recently, I have tried LG support, of course, that went no were, got the usual go to your menu blah blah response as to...

    DSTV is a joke

    + 1. I agree. Their content is rubbish. Repeats evey few hours etc. their decoders are crap, I have the first gen pvr, that came out in 2008 I think. It has been replaced 5 times at my expense, the R350 pay in and you get another re furbed pos, that lasts another year or so but still needs daily...

    Non-oversampling Digital filter-less DAC Concept

    I use a CDP that's has this linear approach. No filters etc. opera conconance Orfeo. I must tell you, it is very good. I had a linn Karik cdp at the time and a dac magic, and it was just so much better than them both. Hard to describe, I also put is up against a audiolab cd 82000  with the...

    Martin Logan!

    Yes agreed, and near field listening has benefits, such as no room interaction. Up close and personal can be good too. Life's short, live it up.

    Martin Logan!

    Thanks for all the system pics guys, here I are some pics of mine. Keep the pics coming. Also give a little blurb about your kit so other Logan users can see what's being paired. I use a Opera audio consonance Calaf integrated amp and a consonance Orfeo Cdp. My house is "off the grid", so I...

    Martin Logan!

    How did you like them? I had a pair of vista's. Sold them after purchasing a pair of summits. Maybe that's them, who knows. They need good strong amplifiers to get all the goose bump goodness.
