I for one don't like him. No problem with what he says, or what he believes... But I just don't like his voice. Find myself switching stations or putting on a cd as soon as he starts talking.

Friend of mine had her credit card cloned internally at Absa. Picked up her new card at a branch one afternoon. Checked statement next morning. The card was used at multiple shops since before she even picked it up... over R10k purchases. Furniture, cheap electronics, airtime, several take...

Exactly! Last night this thread, in all honesty, got me thinking. So I pulled out few LP's and a few CD's that I enjoy. So using the Wharfie 7.2 anniversary ed. and the Rotel amp... I decided to force myself NOT to try and compare the same recordings on CD vs Vinyl. But simply made a...

Uhm. Yes.  ;) So my closing statement, to the researcher and the journalist in question I would very much like to see the finished thesis but for now thanks for causing this massively entertaining thread on AVFSA. And remember: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

^^^ You are of course correct. If the thesis is not yet published, it is probably still to be peer reviewed...

You don't need one. I don't have one. I have TT's from the 60's, 70' and 80's The average Joe Soap does not own an expensive system full stop. Point is the researcher as per the OP played lossless or CD quality samples to 'Joe Soap' Who is used to 128bit Mp3's. Then he added 'simulated TT Pink...

Fun though...  :clap:

But by posting you are taking part... hehe. My comment was made tongue in cheek.  :tongue: Very interesting reading. Thanks for that. However. The crux of the debate, and as per Jozua's quoted research, in my personal most humble opinion, are the statements: 1. That CD or SACD advances in...

Further to my previous post. This would be an interesting test. In all seriousness though, in the interest of keeping things fair, I would suggest the CDP to be used without a DAC. Fair enough it can be the latest and greatest with all the modern technologically advanced bell's and whistles...

Now this thread has entertainment value... So this thread got a bit de-railed ... That said, I listen to both analogue and digital. Both have their merits. Although I do prefer analogue. And not because bad albums sound better on vinyl. Simply because a lot of good albums sound better on...

So I went over to Supergrand intending to get the V15 iv stylus he had. Took my iii stylus with. We had a look at it with his Loupe and it looked very good still. So we mounted it on his V15 iii cart and it sounded fantastic. It seems that (again, assuming my iii cart is still good, which it...

That he was! I am a dutchie.  8)  And to be honest apart from Koos dup, Coenie de Villiers and some alternative styles like Koos Kombuis and Johannes Kerkorrel, I really dislike most mainstream Afrikaans music (read: noise) But this album really does it for me. The lyrics, musicality, quality...

I dislike Afrikaans music in general. But found this in excellent condition in a pile of 'donated' vinyl. Not everyone's taste, but was surprisingly well worth the listen.

Handel Water Music suite Berlin Phil. Nice !

The one mounting hole completely stripped. Looks a bit kak with the one bolt... I will remove remaining thread from both holes and remount properly. But for now ...

Thanks everyone for the replies and thanks Supergrand for the longer screws! Pearl mounted on the original JVC headshell and sounding sweet !  :thumbs:

Must agree to an extent. Although I have had worse from CellC.. But doing business with Discovery, Liberty, Coronation etc. has been a pleasure. Outsurance was not too great but at least they tried. True that. . . uhm Kitchen fire? Did you have to eat whatever caused the fire afterward? ...

Well Aapsa just messed up again! I swear in the last 3 days I have spent more than 2 hours on the phone. And logged 2 complaints. Of which came nothing... Last call (just before 12pm) I was informed that the double debit order error I queried (internal absa loan acc nogal) does not show on the...

I stupidly ran out of petrol once. On the N1 just before Marlboro interchange. Taxi driver stopped and asked if he could help. Said he'd go fetch petrol for me. He said I can pay him for the petrol when he gets back. I was so surprised I didn't know how to respond... I waited for a while and...
