    Terminating speaker cable - avoid using solder??

    I terminate with the grub screw making sure its a good contact and then fill that connector with some silver solder (you can use normal solder too). I feel much happier afterwards knowing that cable strands won't break off when it gets a an odd pull. Then some gluey heatshrink for a strain...

    Alternatives to iPods these days?

    Cowon, Cowon, Cowon. Not sure about capacities but they have card slots. The sound quality is the best I've heard from any player and you can play with their pre-loaded EQ presets or make your own to suit your headphones. FLAC support too. Have seen many faces turn all "oh **** that sounds good"...

    Gyro SE with RB300 arm quite interesting

    Hello guys The Gyro SE has been around for a couple of years but after reading a bit it seems like it is one of the best value for money turntables you can buy new out there. I can't really afford one but if I had R22 000 spare I would probably go for it. This is quite a lot of money for a...

    looking for some in ears for gym/running

    One of my all time favorite headphones is still the Sennheiser PX100's. I don't think they will do too well in a gym because of the sponge cushions. I went for the http://www.audiowarehouse.co.za/product_info.php/sennheiser-ocx685i-sports-headphones-p-891 in the end. Thanks for all the input guys.

    looking for some in ears for gym/running

    No not looking for noise cancelling. Anything between about R500 - R800 will do. Or hold on, those CX 680's look nice! maybe I should give noise cancelling a go. I just remember hearing the first noise cancelling headphones years ago and they made the music sound terrible. I'm sure the quality...
