    S.A. HiFi Show

    Would love to experience one of those days. I attended one back when it was held at the Sandton Sun hotel, I was very young and went with my uncle, didn't know what the fuss was all about.

    Any minidisc fans out there

    Hi Just wondering if anyone on this forum is into minidisc. I was getting into it years ago until we were burgled and the bugger ran off with my Sony MZ-R35... So i may have some blanks (and some other discs that were recorded to only once) you may be interested in.

    Help with camera question

    Apologies for complicating things, just take note when selecting camera body and lenses, to be aware that camera bodies have different CCD sizes, so either a crop sensor or a full-frame sensor. The size of the sensor has an impact on the, should I say, the 'perceived' focal length of a lens...

    Help with camera question

    How old is your young aspiring photographer? If he/she is very young, perhaps it may be a good idea just to keep using the Pentax. Assuming it is in working condition, it has all you need to learn the basics of photography from a technical standpoint. It has the scene modes, automatic...

    McIntosh MC2105 & C26

    Its pretty decent, I remember playing it really loud to the tunes of Dr. Alban, Culture beat... 90's dance music and loved watching those VU meters, and today, still plays nice but with a different genre of music.

    Lying unused the in the garage for a couple years... Last time I used it was when I was a teen who didn't know much about audio, with huge technics speakers blaring the beginning and flight scenes Top Gun played via laserdisc. Still working to this day... watching the VU meters when playing...
