When i was in Canada a year or two ago I visited the Lenbrook group (who own NAD) and had a chat to some of their engineers. What they pretty much said was that they have to throw in a whole lot of features that no one ever uses and pay licence fees for them, or risk losing out in the spec list...

The test was never meant to , nor was it billed as a blind listening session. The fact remains that there were people from both extremes. Cable believers tended to hear differences (one or two with 100 % accuracy) and some people heard no difference at all for 100 % of the tests. Should the...

This takes me back to a cable test I did at AVSA a while ago. two identical CD players were  used and identical CD's were used. Both players were connected into a pre amp, with the only difference being that different RCA cables were used. One remote controlled both CD players  and switching...

So Savage, what do you say? One time offer that expires in a day.

In theory USB to uDSD should sound better. This as HDMI does inherently have high (again a relative term) Jitter. With the jitter reduction in the uDSD you should get better sound. Take a uDSD as an early bird and if it's better you score, and if it isnt I'll give you your money back. Either...

DK have you checked what sound settings youre using on the TV The Samsung TV I have in for review has a few settings that vary from bad to worse. I ended up applying my own eq setting to get vocals sounding decent.

you get multi plugs and you get multi plugs. Sometimes the internal wiring is scary. As a rule of thumb i put highest current draw devices closest to the cable going in to the multiplug. This way hopefully maximum current is available to your amp.

It shows just how bad my connection is that there is little difference between full speed and capped. Speed being relative of course.

I asked Nuprime yesterday what would be better for adjusting volume on a uDSD. Using the headphone out into an amp and using the volume control, or digital or analogue out and using source volume(eg volume control in foobar) They recommend using line out and foobar volume.

After school holidays and reviewing a Smart TV (daddy i want to watch Youtube on the TV) I reached my monthly cap. Telkom tells me that speed has been reduced. Cant say ive really noticed much of a difference though. Gotta love Telkom

The problem with this debate is that sides are chosen and no one is willing to take a chance and peek over the fence to see what the others think. I think (as with many other cable debates) people often forget that we are talking about more than mere cables. There are bits at either end that...

I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. One of the early birds got a faulty amp. It powers up but gets hot and soon shuts down. I've already replaced it and hopefully this wont happen again. NuPrime responded within an hour or so of my telling them about the amp. This was there response...

I know someone who has some. I could probably arrange a listen.

If you have no luck I can ask our clearing agents to have a look for you.

Couriers will be collecting the Cape Town NuPrimes in the morning. I have Rodneys and Andre's detail, who else do in need to send down to in the Cape? (my little one is still sick so I haven't had enough sleep to have the energy to look through my mail)

i think a story that illustrates the Thirteen thinking is the one on how Achim and I got together. it was a wet and rainy night, the alley was dark and the promise of something was in the air.    (Oops, wrong story, that was me and my ex wife) The real story is this. With nearly a decade and a...

Any one that has dealt with either Achim and will know that we are not simply about pushing as many boxes out the door as possible. We want everyone who buys one of out products to enjoy a musical experience. We also want people to get maximum value out of their products. Only part of this...

This damn little amp is really starting to p me off. I have things to do. It's a lovely young ladies birthday and I should have gone out to buy her a gift a few hours ago. Yet here I am listening to flipping music. As smooth and detailed as the IDA8 sounds, it can be brutal on poor recordings...

R 15 850.00 and Now.

Ok maybe one more :)
