    People with comorbidity.

    It's your choice IMO. You're not going to give anyone asthma, just as much as you cannot catch diabetes. How long can you NOT work and be paid ?.

    Looking for small but powerful speakers

    Firstly, passive ( normal ) speakers are not powerful at all, It's just what they can supposedly handle being fed from an amp. But you know that. You need to find some active speakers which are usually used in home and professional studios. M Audio, Yamaha, Samson make good speakers for the...

    Bluetooth Headphones

    How would you use Bluetooth ? A BT transmitter also needs an audio output from somewhere. Is there not a headphone output anywhere on the system ?

    Day 27

    I panelbeated my bakkie today. I reversed into a fire hydrant about a year ago and smashed the tail light and bent the side panel quite badly right where the tail light ( used to ) fit. It was quite therapeutic using any tool I could find. I doubt the neighbours found it therapeutic, but I did...

    Lock down paint chalenge advice needed

    I've had great results from Velvaglo. Oil based. Water based is terrible IMO. I gave it a try and it really didn't have the properties I expected. I last did my door frames, doors, kitchen cupboards and skirting boards about 10 years ago, and the only wear is on the skirting boards due to the...

    What have you forgotten

    I thought you couldn't buy smokes anywhere, or was this before lockdown ? My Estate ( 600+ houses ) has a private Facebook page which has become a wheeling and dealing area for everyone. Buying, selling, swapping etc. Certain people have connections with the " outside ", so supplies haven't...

    The Times They Are A-Changin'

    I'm also in the film industry. Commercial side. All our jobs are usually between 1 and 3 days long, so no confirmations down the line to put a claim in for. Jobs that were booked are postponed indefinitely. The future looks bleak TBH, and I'm seriously considering other options to make a living...

    Using a tablet as a playback source device

    If your tablet is in a protective shell and you're using the headphone jack as an output, make sure the jack to RCA cable fits with the cover on. it doesn't sound important, but these silly little things can be a PITA. The only one I found that fits mine was branded HAMA which has a very thin...

    Advice on where to study sound engineering

    Academy of Sound engineering. AFDA. If you want to do music, then your best bet is live venue or theatre mixing. Most studios survive on doing voice overs, mixing TV programmes and sound design for commercials. I've been a sound engineer for 30 years, and have never been involved in the music...

    DSTV / Netflix

    I presume your DSTV is plugged into HDMI 1 on the amp and Netflix box to HDMI 2 or something like that ?, and your HDMI out is to your TV ? You need to set the input settings on each source to match whats plugged in to it. If the amp has an AUTO setting, also try that, and it should sense what...

    Sansui AU-417 Stereo Amplifier

    It's a decent amp. No better or worse than other good Japanese branded amps of the 80's. Speaker choice depends on your listening area and how much you want to spend. Avoid so called " matching " speakers from that era. They were generally rubbish and only designed to match their rack systems...
