    Yamaha amp repair, Pretoria

    Hey I know about these guys!  One of them was interested in buying the HK Citations I had for sale from the previous owner for parts.  They're around the corner from my place, thanks, I'll give them a message as well!

    Yamaha amp repair, Pretoria

    Thanks, I sent them a message.  If there's anyone else who also know someone, I'd really appreciate it.  This days with music at 10% only on the left channel is killing me.

    Yamaha amp repair, Pretoria

    Hi guys, So my Yamaha amp went again and replacing it is expensive.  Is there anyone you can recommend to take a look at the amp for me in Pretoria/Centurion to decide if it's worth fixing, and also, what it would cost to fix?

    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    What voltage does it run on?  And where are you located?  It seems like an option, at least?

    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    The amp I've been running now do around 40W per channel.  I don't need anything more.  Even something a bit weaker will suffice, to be honest.  Really hoping for something to just replace mine with.  Currently I just switch on the amp/receiver and it works.  Headphones get plugged in on the...

    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    Is an amp like that even viable?  I've had one of those kits before.  In fact, I've done a few kits, never with any real success, to be honest.

    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    OK, this is now 3 years later and these speakers are seeing less and less use.  Due to my work I'm using headphones for the most part, and the other day the amplifier I used these on have given up the ghost yet again.  This seems to be the third time.  This time, the right channel dropped 95% of...

    Harman Kardon Citation Towers - issues

    OK, so a few hours of good listening to these, and I'm confident that whatever issue it had, no longer exists.  They're working just fine. However, due to financial constraints I can't keep them, and due to the young kids in the house I don't want them to sit around waiting for little fingers...

    Harman Kardon Citation Towers - issues

    I expected more volume, to be honest, considering they pack 200W of power each, with a 25mm tweeter, 2 x 4" mids and 1 x 8" subwoofer in each.  That's not saying though that it's quiet - not at all.  At some volume the whole house listens along, but that's not my goal for them anyway so I'm...

    Harman Kardon Citation Towers - issues

    OK so I got these back to my place last night.  All 40kg, 1,2m high, modern-grey-cloth-covered of it. I switched them on, connected my phone via Bluetooth, played music and every 30 seconds or so it cuts out, almost like it sounds when you get a notification on your phone while listening to...

    Harman Kardon Citation Towers - issues

    Thanks.  I looked at their support page there, but they literally state "factory reset" and that's about it.  Either they don't list additional solutions, or I'm to daft to look for it.  Both is a possibility and I'm not ashamed to admit to either one :D That's why I asked here.  I know we have...

    Harman Kardon Citation Towers - issues

    Hi guys, long time no see!  Been a really really tough time so far, but I'm posting here with new hope on a new product! So I recently got my hands on a pair of Harman Kardon Tower speakers.  Well, I'm getting my hands on them this afternoon.  According to the owner, they are working fine, but...

    Bentley Acoustics and my experience with them..

    Having been at Vaugh's place more than once, I can also vouch for his willingness to help.  Without his help I'd be listening to music on a Samsung soundbar still, I'm sure.

    So what, Zimbabwe is going to stop exporting refugees?

    The Whisky thread

    If you want peat at R400, you can do a lot worse than Laphroaig Select.  Yes it's a bit watered and a bit weaker, but it's probably the best peat you'll find in the price point.

    Joke for the day

    With some, you're really not missing much.  Like elephant and hippo.  Both is very...meh.

    Your rig

    Exactly, yes.  Good call.

    Your rig

    More RAM + SSD is a good idea, so you can kill the page file on your SSD.  Page files put unnecessary read/write cycles on your SSDs.
