Rip Mark. Thanks for all the 5fm memories.

Untill a few years ago I would have said that myself. I have been able to overlook his egotistical ramblings for years, but trying to erase the other members of PF ( David in particular) from history and his support for the type of tyranic regime that I thought he was opposed to is not on and he...

I'm intrigued by this. Care to explain a bit more to those ignoramuses amongst us.

First one I heard was a KSA80 and then a number of newer models over the years. At the moment I'm happily listening to my "baby" KAV300i until such time as an FPB comes along.

For me it has always been Apogee and Krell.

Yes it is.

I have two memorable systems that have left a permanent impression and have served as reference for me of what is possible. In the mid 2000's I heard the Martin Logan Statement speakers driven by Audio Research Ref 610 monoblocks. Awesome transparency and huge soundstage combined with seemingly...

If my experience at a hi fi gathering I attended is anything to go by, I think this is all a waste of time. We first need to establish a baseline as to what constitutes good sound before we argue about the audible (or not) differences between cables, otherwise it is all a bit pointless. At this...

I like the way that they spin in randomly. I'm sure the internet connection would suck if this was real! This guy has a whole host of these fake Starlink videos on Youtube.

Mantech is your friend. Try https://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=15M2327 Or https://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=14M6287 Or https://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=72M1405 could all work.

Original and Mk II AE1 and Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento. Oh and, if you didn't mind the lack of bass, the pair of ProAc Tablettes that I owned 25+ years ago.

Maybe speak to @ghostinthemachine

What amplifier is it? Reason I ask is that Bryston guarantee's them for 20 years, and believe me they will give good service for at least as long as that. I had a 4BSST and it also had a little transformer hum. I would say likely nothing to worry about. Popping sound is likely coming from a dc...

In my opinion the bottleneck is the toslink transmitter and receiver that is prone to jitter and have insufficient bandwidth to transmit 192KHz + audio. Whether the cable is plastic or glass is not really the issue. In the late 80's and early 90's some of the high end (predominantly US) DAC...

I was adding context to @allan320's post. Mods please remove if not appropriate for the thread.

On their website Reliable claims to be a subsidiary of We Build Property, as does lectronhome.com - a website that I am convinced is a scam. When you order from them they supply an inferior and much cheaper item with no interest in refunding their customers. Good luck trying to get a refund.

Thanks, yes I know Cameraworld well and have bought from them before. Its just that I was after this particular lens and not many available on the second hand market.

I ordered a Nikon AF-P 70-300mm FX VR lens from them at R4999.99. After ordering and paying, a negative review was posted by someone on Hellopeter. On the 7th business day (the last day that they were supposed to send my order) I threatened them with further action. Shortly after I received a...

I placed an order with Raru at the end of 2020. When I cancelled my order after waiting almost a year for my order I had to wait another 6 weeks for a refund. They will never see another order/cent from me. Buyer beware!

Just a warning to fellow forum members to be extremely careful in dealing with lectronhome.com, aka Lectron Home or Lectron Home of Camera's. They are operating a scam while using Payfast and Paygate to steal your money. Neither company would be particularly interested in getting your money...
