    Rokonet (made in Israel) ProSYS system is very good and reliable. Up and running for ages without false alarms.

    Best Speaker cable in the world

    I agree with Francois. There are one or two cables that sound better, but at a price (at least a quarter of a million rand for a 8 ft set !). Once you've found the synergy, they sound magic. Will never sell my pair.

    Who listens without sweet spots etc...

    For background music, one of the forum members previously recommended a wireless in the kitchen ("draadlosie in die kombuis")

    RIP

    George Michael died on Christmas Day at the age of 53. Just a few hours before a listened to a Christmas song CD that he produced. RIP

    Great results with solid-state preamp and valve power amplifier.

    It's all about finding the synergistic match involving the whole chain, including cables. My personal magical match currently is Halcro DM10 pre with VTL Siegfried 400 power (i.e. SS pre with tube power) driving the G1s.

    Beautiful dcs Vivaldi

    Not only looking beautiful. In a class of its own. Better than the closest competitor by a very wide margin. Also beats analogue in all aspects by a very big margin.

    Standmount Fest, Ming-Da, Perreaux VA product release [12 Nov 2016]

    I'll be there of course. You have more than enough amplifiers now for any size event. Maybe a big surprise, but nothing promised at this point in time.

    Let's vote: I need to decide on an AVR

    The more expensive ones will also be worth nothing in a couple of year's time. Save money now, go for the cheap option.

    I am bored.....Let's start a Cable thread

    Definitely time to go to bed; forgot to say that you'll only get a 8 ft set for that price, and they measure end of termination to end of termination

    I am bored.....Let's start a Cable thread

    K for Kimber Kable The Select series does wonders to your sound, at a price, but beware, imitations also doing the round. You are not going to be very happy paying R330 000 for a KS 6068 silver look-alike. Before dishing out that kind of money, verify serial numbers with Kimber head office.

    The Best System?

    I still have the Salon 2s and a set of Studio 1s to play around with in Room2 (that's where the other super-amplifiers reside). Right, the G1s my reference at the moment. Another very good system on the East Rand belonging to a medical doctor, unfortunately very private. A lot of similarity to...

    The Best System?

    Achim, I agree to what you say. My own approach to my personal best system: only the music, and nothing between the music and the listener. This means that I do not like a specific brand / house sound, I do not like any coloration to the music, and over the years I have tried to find that magic...
