I’m also a supporter. Very helpful and quick responses to inquiries. Four purchases from them so far. No doubt more to come in future.

I googled the dCS reply from their senior executive. The journalist who did the article was provided with numerous opportunities to communicate with dCS. And had a dCS employee chew his ear during the saga. Not the senior executive. The dCS employee was sanctioned by the dCS executive and...

Also consider the power supplies to the room. At least have a separate circuit for audio equipment (CD, DAC and TT. Also pre amp). Power amp on another circuit. Keep the high current and low current loads apart. If possible. Put in lots of sockets. I have 8 in the back of my hifi cupboard...

There are many components that combine to produce the output of an amplifier. Start with "power rating". Why the inverted commas? In the sixties, power ratings in the USA had to be regulated. This was necessary because unscrupulous amplifier ratings became widespread driven by marketing...

nice thread

I find these discussions most informative. My bias is on the repairs, not so much on the pros and cons of various local retail outlets. I have found the technical details provided in this thread to be very interesting. Electronics parts reliability is a complex challenge. Most manufacturers...

And I have 3 of the ifi Audio products new from them. Also a new Origin Live arm. So I have spent a decent chunk of change with them. I have found Audio Exchange works well for me. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Their communication has been excellent in their dealings with me...

A great summary in the original post. We have been down the same route recently and I'm still to complete some parts of my own solar journey. We had an elderly master electrician fit ours. I wanted somebody who knew electrics (the bit that can kill you), rather than a pure solar fundi. In...

Correction- I bought both amps used. Not new as stated in my first post. Old age!

In replacement of tubes you are meant to use tubes with the same number or equivalent tubes. Google is your friend. The helpful advice given above should be all that you need. I’m on my second tube device (both are amplifiers). My experience is that tubes from different manufacturers have...

Charles From amp to speakers- distance? Cable thickness? And the feed to your amp. Could your house wiring be sharing with any other high current loads? And I trust that your amp is plugged directly into wall outlet- no adapter or the like? Next steps would be to borrow an amp with a bass...

In my corporate days we learned the hard way to perform due diligence. The good guys on this site are courteous and transparent. They seem to get good feedback - surely because they deserve it.

So what is to be done? Do I out him? I kept his communication to me. It’s written down. No no. This guy has a website which states he is a dealer. But missing critical information. Which he adamantly denied sharing. My advice is to tread carefully when you’re planning to source from businesses...

Thanks to all I had an unsavoury experience with one of these guys- tried to bully me into a valve upgrade for R5000. And wouldn’t reveal the source nor manufacturer's name. I subsequently had contact with a previous owner of the amp. And he had also had issues with the same guy. Sadly for the...

I’m trying to find somebody to do some work on my Jolida hybrid amplifier- in Western Cape. Any suggestions welcome

Bored so I’m roaming the net. And then I found a site with lots of reviews - hardware and music. Trackingangle.com Some interesting contributors- one Mr J J French- founding member of twisted sister and audiophile. Some great music reviews to assist me to find new streaming material. Lots of...

My condolences to his family and all his friends here and elsewhere. I only knew him here. He was very kind and helpful with some of my queries. I hope he's enjoying some great music now.

So the Sovteks arrived from Tonetubes. Been in for a good few days now. To my ears the bass and mids are spot on. Tons of rhythm - keeps the toes tapping. There is a very nice smooth sound in the mids-zero harshness. Treble is down in the balance compared to before. It’s still there- just less...

New Sovtek LPS installed midday. Sounding sweet and I’m already very happy. LKJ Bass Culture sounds precise and I’m in the mood to listen for hours. Maybe some vinyl later too.
