    Onkyo nr609 from USA

    I don't think your transformer has anything to do with it. You say there's no sound from your speakers after being in standby. So does that mean the amp comes on but it just doesn't output anything to the speakers? If this is the case then it must be some sort of protection circuit on the...

    turntable advice

    How does the Cambridge 640p phono stage compare to others? Is it the same case as with their amplifiers: Really really good value for money?

    LF: Really good home cinema amp

    I'm going to sell my Pioneer VSX-AX4ASI that I bought from Musicman. I completely changed my mind on setting up a dolby setup after I bought it. I didn't even get to set it up .... I paid R3000 so will ask R3000. Not sure if its something you will be interested in but its a monster!!!! I'm...

    Why why why!!

    I bought my first real hifi from these guys when I was in the UK. Its just so easy to get good stuff there as your salary takes you so much further. Also very useful if they combine items that sound the best to them. Its probably not always the best but a really good starting point.

    Equalizers and room treatment

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I agree that room treatment must be the start to get it as best as possible. I haven't started with room treatments but I'm lucky that I have curtains on the side where my first reflection points are. But as I and many more have said before is that full blown...

    Linn LP12...

    Oh yes it was Francois. I was eyeing that one. I'm a turntable virgin but thinking of doing it with a bang. I hate the "If I knew what I know now I would have rather saved up and gone for the better one" sentence. "You only live once" is a good sentence on the other hand. I will keep my eyes...

    Linn LP12...

    That was quite roughly, but I get the idea....... Rudi I think you had one in the classifieds for around R10 000 if I remember correctly.

    Help - My Amp is broken

    I would probably think something blew or half blew on your power circuit. I would check the house supply too. Maybe you only getting 175V out of your mains or something. Its a bit of a longshot but there was a surge after all and maybe something is not so well at the power station near your...

    Equalizers and room treatment

    I'm out of the country at the moment so listening to music on my media player (Cowon) and Grado headphones. The Cowon media player is quite well known for having good equalizers and last night I played for hours changing them etc. What I found was that certain preset settings sound like setups...

    DSTV TO 2ND ROOM

    Yip this is what I do. I thought the normal RCA out (yellow video - with right and left audio) on my PVR would be better quality running it 20m but the RF out is much better for video. I installed both but using the RCA's for my media player now. The audio is probably half the volume on the RF ...

    New Music

    I listen to Tuks FM here in Pretoria. They have all the new rock and alternative music. Probably the only rock station in SA. On sundays they have "The Retro Riffs" between 12 and 2pm and that's pretty good. If you not from PTA then you can listen online to tuks FM for the Retro Riffs or other...

    General Consensus on South African built hi-fi equipment

    Also running VA amplification and very very happy. I found VA without knowing it was proudly SA made. Went to the website just to find out the amplifiers are manufactured 20km from my house. Very impressed!! I'm also in the electronics industry and technology in SA is up there with the rest and...
