    Suggestions for a stereo Bluetooth adapter for PC

    for these types of devices i find find that fiio typically gives quite good results. however, it seems that cplan currently only have the bta-30 pro in stock, which may be a little bit overkill as it also a receiver & dac: bta 30 pro ugreen are generally pretty good quality. perhaps this may...

    What was the last Film you watched?

    busy watching this movie. a fascinating look into the life of a great & really talented singer / songwriter. highly recommended if you're into that type of music. [edit] having finished watching the movie, let me add - it has given me a new appreciation of her music, & is one of the best music...

    Headphone DAC

    i see that the ifi nano black label has a battery, with a claimed 10hr life. i think this is an important feature - my experience with some units with no battery is that they can suck your phone battery dead in s very short time.

    Are audiophiles unmusical?

    for me the poster child of musicality is probably rick beato. has a natural talent & ear, understands the theory, can play well, and explain well. can pick a song, or even a part of a song to pieces, remain passionate about the music, & explain & transfer that passion & enthusiasm to most...

    Vocal ranges of the greatest singers

    not quite my style, but rather talented for sure. as with so many of these types of lists, the focus is on well known artists, but i suspect that there are quite a few lesser known artists who could slot into the list quite high up. like happy rhodes:

    listening to audio designed to test your system, & listening to music for pleasure are 2 different activities. i guess that in general people have differing mixes of these 2 activities, with some outliers being pretty much at the extremes. personally i have no issue with anyone who is focused on...

    Personal information available to institutions

    sounds like the standard credit check info. it is rather extensive, & detailed. sometimes not so accurate either - especially when comparing the info from multiple agencies. (i used to be a pension fund trustee which involved assessment of pension fund loans - we used to get reports from 3...

    Do you power condition?

    sometimes i really miss the old heavy handed mods... but i have reported this content - let's see how it goes. i know the op "apologised" for this statement, but given the general content & tone of his posts on this & other topics i would suggest booting him, or, failing that, just ignoring it.

    Looking for a good accountant

    it may be worth your while to have separate bookkeepers & accountants with split responsibilities. there is no point in paying an expensive account at a much higher rate to do straightforward retail environment vat returns, bookkeeping, reporting, cash flows, etc.. even tax returns if there are...

    R1 million for Landcruiser 76

    my limited experience with construction type projects in africa, none of which were mining, is that the vehicles are typically turned over to the customer / end user at the end of the project, & that the customer will therefore specify what they perceive as suiting them. in my case it has...

    So what does the new planned NHS hold in for us?

    yep. discovery sent a mail saying relax as well. unfortunately while the "implementation" may take a decade or more, the raising of the money will start a lot sooner. as will the looting.

    Do you power condition?

    i recently went for power conditioning for the 1st time. i really do think that i hear a difference, but i haven't done any sort of a / b type comparison. the difference, to my ears, is not just background noise, it affects the clarity of the audio.

    Frequently Misspelled audiophile terms

    as much as i enjoy making fun of them, i do feel sorry for anyone learning english as a second language. what a mishmash - words with dual meanings, exceptions to every rule, & words that sound the same but mean different things (base / bass). (& yes i do know that there is a word that means...

    i use ugreen 3.5 to 3.5 in my car. they do break eventually, but they do have a hard life. presumably the rca to 3.5mm would be similarly decent: ugreen @ takealot
