I used to hero "Die Swart Luiperd" - I might still have a few of the books around...

Hi Larry, You can contact Wayne at HFX Systems - they sell Ortofon cartridges - I got a OM 5 from them for a friend of mine - I was impressed with the cartridge. Regards Jandre

I can only agree with the above - I will not trade mine for anything - I hope the new Mantis owner will enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.

If it was a bit closer to Bloem - I would have been there  :'( - would have loved to hear the Trinity - Enjoy!

A fire alarm rang at 4 pm in a large office campus when almost all employees were present ( approx 5,000 people ). As per past fire-drill practices, the entire office was quickly evacuated within 3 minutes, and all employees gathered outside the complex in designated areas waiting for further...

@ Xenithon, I have a snakewood Mantis - they are works of art - and they sound stunning. @ Eniac - welcome to the club - hope you will enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.

VPI Scoutmaster with a Blue Angel Mantis cartridge and Valve Audio Whisper phonostage  ;D

Yes - He built the amps - my Valve Audio 802's still have the Black Dog label at the back. (I guess it is time to upgrade them  :) ) I also have a Black Dog hi-fi stand - yes Hein there are still of them out there  ;)

I guess there is a zero to many - or I can sell my Rega P5 for R30 000  ;D

Another manufacturer that deserves a mention is Mike Savvas - maker of the Genesis Triton inter-connects - you can get his details from Schalk Havenga - but perhaps you still have it - I think you reviewed a pair of the earlier version of the inter-connects a year or so ago. (I have to make...

Hi All, Just to say that I heard the new Genesis last night - the first version was stunning - but the new one something out of this world - all the usual audiophile jargon will not do it justice - it is total musical bliss. ;D

Do not forget about Andr? Hanekom - creator of the Blue Angel Mantis cartridge - also a brilliant product. http://www.blueangelaudio.com/

I must say that I have lived quite happily with my Sonor Capellas for the past 10 years. At the time I bought them I compared them to B&W's that were twice their price - the Capellas were much better - more natural - and mine definitely do not shout - they create a soundstage that is huge and...

Well - in my system it works magic  ;D

Hi Cleansound, Just like your amp is going to be - totally brilliant  - it is by far the best phonostage that I have listened to in my setup. Now I just still need one small piece - and my setup will be as South African as can be  ;D

Hi Octobersky, Thanx for the post - very interesting - especially if one prefers vinyl to CD's - like me  :D

Hi CS - my mother bought Mark's AudioAero - so I know how it sounds - I was just wondering how the two would compare. All good things come to those that wait  ;D

My thoughts exactly - he has to wait in line (or until I have my Whisper)

Hi All, Thanx for all the responses - any thoughts on AudioAero CD players? Thanx

Congratulations Schalk - that is great  :)
