    What a pity. I don't see myself coming here a lot anymore if that is the case. I only read the forum on my phone and I use tapatalk for that. I have been reading and interacting daily on the forum for many years, so this is a sad day.

    The best bargains, the most music for money products, opinions.

    This is spot on. Bargains don't mean cheap. If the enjoyment and value is subjectively more than what you spent it is a bargain. I do want to put forward the Rega Brio amplifier. It is a modern day classic that is a bargain in every way. It creates a problem, in that when you try and replace it...

    Ben (BJ) has stock of the Groove care inners. I think he delivered some to a store here in Gauteng. You can PM him for details.

    Full Range Speakers

    I built pensils with Mark audio Alpair 7.2s. Very nice speakers. Does a lot right. They got a lot of attention at the one DIY meet we had at Fran?ois. Still use them in my secondary system.

    Smart Plugs

    That looks great. Is there any way to use them locally without connecting the system to the cloud?

    Node 3rd Gen w External DAC

    Using a Holo Spring DAC. Coax or USB both work. To set up USB out on the Node you need the latest firmware and have to enable the USB output in the settings.

    Node 3rd Gen w External DAC

    Using an external DAC with my 3rd gen Node. Vast improvement in sound quality. I think the USB out on the Node might give the best results with DSD depending on the DAC.

    Room advice

    I think the speakers are well behaved, had no problems in other rooms with them. I have not thought about borrowing panels since I don't know anyone with panels I could borrow from. It makes a lot of sense of I can find some. Ceiling is large and combined with the tile floors probably a big...

    Let's be honest here ...

    I think one has to realize that not everything that is affordable is sub par and all expensive products are not equal. Synergy in your system is a big element. I have found in the last year that going up a step above budget did yield amazing results iny system. But home demo was key in my...

    Room advice

    Thanks I'll look into the panels mentioned. At soft and moderate volumes it sounds ok. If it gets louder the reflected sounds causes a lot of noise in the room. The windows further down the room are not covered.

    Room advice

    Thanks, Window have curtains and the door is physical, but also has curtains in front of it. There is Persian rug in the area you marked. The room is big but relatively narrow. I had a look at the products from oxland acoustics. It looks aesthetically acceptable but no idea on how effective...

    Room advice

    I need some advice on the process of treating my room to reduce reflections and other problems. The room is my lounge and the one side of it is a dedicated listening area. I do not have any measuring equipment and no experience with doing this. The first part of it would be to determine what I...
