    Synergy: Fallacy or a real factor?

    synergy with the mood or state of mind of the listener becomes a strong occasional factor also. Fine line between art form or an emotional journey. “When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you undestand the lyrics.”

    Looking for car detailer JHB / South

    I am a little apprehensive to do it myself, not having the expertise, space or even things like filtered water. Cringe at mucking it up and a little OCD to cleaning by using friction. PPF and ceramic coatings seems way to keep it looking best if new but then also not an inexpensive way to keep...

    Recommendations for Plex/Roon server

    A LattePanda SIgma could also work, have one running Ubuntu and it offers great features and performance. Depending on personal OS preferences, docker containers could also work. TrueNas may also be an option. The ROON install if wanting ROCK may force use of running it on ESXi and not for...

    Holo Audio Serene Class A pre-amp

    A Serene owner before the review, also a Goldpoint "SA1X" passive attenuator (it being compared to) and the feature of having 2 sets of XLR outputs is great for driving 2 pairs of power amplifiers. It does give great indication of what the preamp module in the DAC's / Spring 3 would add (if...

    Stand alone streamers

    The Fiio R7 will probably meet top of Entry Level, has everything except I2S connectivity and is ROON ready. Its feature set I reckon puts in Mid as it can be powered by a seperate DC power source is ones choosing. I use one with Ian Canada's LifePO4 supply. A external DAC can also be...

    There seems to already be a few attempts and WhatsApp groups already? Strong personalities and hard core brand/product ambassadors do tend to sometimes get tangled up on WhatsApp groups or when strong views on politics, religion and so on is expressed. This surely can make the need for group...

    SARS! Now requiring MSDS for electronic components!

    Impedance matching

    To answer initial question, generally not a concern as most manufacturers stay within historic hifi values. Typical input impedance much greater with tube gear due to voltages involved. Power amp input sensitivity (level needed to reach full power) and level possible (how much gain) would be...

    Impedance matching

    In which context? With regards to example of a pre-amp to power-amp or tube amp having multiple output taps and a speaker. Source to amp are typically fixed input impedance where speaker impedance is a changing value depending on cross over complexity and frequency.
