    Why not try the real thing? The WT Simplex uses that arm and its a beaut of a turntable.

    Good/bad experience with hifi salesmen

    For me demos are a pleasure not a chore. We get to listen to some good music, share some good conversation, and hopefully I get to let people experience what good music can sound like. Now if you'll excuse me I have some Fleetwood Mac that needs turning over... :)

    Too Much of the Wrong Kind of Bass

    My R 1.50 (inflation has meant 10c isn't worth what it was) Many people don't know what good bass is, so how would they know what the wrong kind of bass is? My experience based on nearly two decades of being and audio reviewer is that most people like a slightly overblown and inarticulate...

    South Africa DTT : Anybody knows something?

    Tests have been running for months, so if you live in an area that's covered already you can watch DTT. I reviewed a TV over a year ago that had a DVBT2 tuner built in and with my aerial ( a Dual band one that was chosen as it would be able to pick up DTT) I could watch quite a few channels...

    Some sound advice required

    Oh really :) :) no bias there at all. None on my side too. (did I mention that we are the Rega distributors) I have mixed feelings about the Achromat. Sometimes they sound great and sometimes not. I would start with trying the original mat again. next would be another cart and a here I can...

    Help! Emotiva LPA-1 DC on Channel Output Terminal

    Hi Kamikazi I'm certainly not crying foul about self importing. If I've overpriced any of the gear we import and you really can get it cheaper by importing it yourself then I only have myself to blame. What I was pointing out was that if you look at most RESPONSIBLE importers, and I've put...

    Help! Emotiva LPA-1 DC on Channel Output Terminal

    At the risk of getting flamed. The affordable option of self import and no local back up has reared its ugly head.

    Anything BUT South African

    Places like Siemens VDO have entire engineering teams just working on the user interface of their car radios! And yet they still manage to get it horribly wrong most of the time.

    Anything BUT South African

    Just in case anyone thinks that it's all altruism and I'll support just any SA made gear, let me put things into perspective. My personal support of local products has been because they were: firstly extremely good (offered performance advantages over their rivals)  and secondly South African...

    Anything BUT South African

    If I go back around two decades when I was selling High End car audio (yes it does exist, our demo car had around R 100k wort of kit in it) and locally manufactured car amplifiers. When I started out with the amp manufacturer we were told that the amps were loud but sounded crap. We then built...

    New cartridge needed and installation thereof

    We currently have Rega Carbon, Bias2, and Exact cartridges in stock. I would look at an exact or even a TLC from Well Tempered labs for your RP6. Exact and TLC are a similar price. As the Rega distributors we have spare belts, mats, and a whole lot more spares in stock.

    WT(f) Joel!?!?!?!

    I've been keeping out of replying here as i wanted Mike to for his opinions without any marketing BS from me. What I will say is that the Versalex/LTD sells for R 58 900.00 which compares favourably with international prices, we have them in stock and we have Charisma carts in stock as well. ...
