Yoh! At least my bond isn't with Aapsa. Haven't really considered Investec. Interesting. Moved your savings only or all transactional accounts?

That is an important consideration. My ABSA accounts earn 0% on positive balances.  >:( That said I have other investment acc's for saving with Prudential and Coronation. . . I have been considering FNB for a while... Capitec is also an option as I am not interested in a credit card acc.  But...

I've lost that loving feeling towards ABSA. And the ex gratia payment offer, though nice enough, feels like a bribe. in their words: "Kindly confirm whether you accept the bank?s ex gratia offer of R* in full and final settlement of this matter." Kinda like: "Ok we gonna give you some dosh...

Hi all, I bank with ABSA. Have done for a loooong time. Recently made some changes adding / removing accounts and ABSA was to 'switch' debit orders... Which they completely, and not unexpectedly, bungled up...  long story... But Their call centre is consistently useless. Putting me through to...

Thanks for the replies all! I think I will get the NOS VN45HE from Supergrand for now and see how I like the sound with the V15iii cart mounted back on the Dual... I can look at a Jico SAS later... The HE generic as per Waterhond also looks like a good idea. I can't justify the cost of the...

Thanks for posting this. I have a Z1 EB cartridge from a JVC QL-Y5F I bought a while back. I have read good and bad reviews about the cartridge, but some of the bad reviews might have been due to bum generic stylus... as was the case with Alternativeroute on his QL-Y5F. Currently trying to get...

Hisense.co.za states warranty is 3yr + 1yr extra on product registration.

I have a Sinotech 42" LCD and must admit backlight bleed is becoming an issue now. It is still within the 5 yr warranty so will try my luck this week. In retrospect I regret not having gone for a HiSense... That said, a friend has the 55" Hisense LED 3D (probably the same as what you refer to...

Thanks for the replies. Mafioso, I saw pictures of that black wood affair on vinylengine.... Looks stunning ! The one I have is the LM model. Custom made for Dual, and it has little plastic clips on the top to fit onto the Dual headshell. So that could make it hard to fit to another headshell...

Hi all, Looking for a cartridge or stylus that will match well with the light arm on my Dual 721 TT. It has a Shure v15iii cartridge with original fine-line, VN35E stylus. Stylus is worn. I like this TT, as it is super quiet and works perfectly. I did some research, and the following options...

PM incoming.  ;D

Thanks, I will keep looking. Ja the JVC's main body is solid alloy, quite nice. The problem comes in with the top fitting with the lift arm. It is plastic, and in my case the one mounting screw hole is pretty much stripped. Darn. I had a look at the Sumiko headshell from Hi-Phibian. Very nice...

Just a note to Hi-Phibian to say thanks for the cleaning solution. Had some fun on the weekend. I am about ? way through my LP?s. I used 3 new microfibre cloths, one to rest the record on, one ?wet? to clean the solution off, and one dry to clear up the remainder. I have not used distilled...

So did I, Funny that... Mozart's Horn concertos has a very interesting history. The horn in those days did not have valves (natural horn) and was tuned to a major scale before a performance by installing a 'crook' (varying the pipe length). Players could essentially only play the 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

Last night I had this on the TT... Lucky find in a batch of about 100 or so LP's I got from a family friend... Barry Tuckwell sports a magnificent soup-strainer on the cover pic...  ;D

Well actually, yes, the Scientologists are using the DMM machines they bought... From an article on analogueplanet.com ... "One organization is very much into DMM and that would be The Church of Scientology. It has bought up every DMM lathe it can find and uses them to transfer founder L. Ron...
