I have in the past two weeks received SMSes from both Bellville and Brackenfell post offices advising collection ready. Just a heads-up when having to pay for duties on collection: the lady at Bellville advised that non of the post offices can take payment by card tapping (NFS), only swiping...

I found an Android app called ParcelsApp that seems to work well as an all-round parcel tracker. I am currently tracking 4 items. It can track an international tracking code and even maintains the track when the tracking number changes to local. Cheap or free shipping is sent with a bulk...

For DIYers - especially those who solder infrequently - I would always recommend the Cardas Quad Eutectic solder. It just makes soldering that much easier. Proper silver solder is soldering alloy based on silver, and it requires much higher temperatures than our soldering irons can deliver...

You can say that again!

As an example of inconsistency of stereo soundstage and imaging, I offer Tuck & Patti – Love Warriors album. It was after I had refreshed my system (having neglected it for a while). As my first test track I chose Track 1 from this album, Love Warriors. I could not get a stable vocal image; it...

The artists care about music and expression. Producers push the next level, like producing a novel sound or effect. Often, there is an overlap, as in the above reference to Pink Floyd. There is the case with Quincy Jones asserting that Michael Jackson had to do as he was told, because Q & Co...

@Jozua_2019 I see what you did there. You'll never be able to sell this! :ROFLMAO:

This describes an excellent test of your acoustic setup. If, with a mono signal, the result is anything wide or placed off-centre, it indicates that your listening space is not acoustically symmetrical. Pragmatically speaking, though, very few systems achieve this or alternatively stated, it...

I agree with your post, except to say that even with the orchestral setup you described in your intro, capturing the image and soundstage for domestic reproduction is yet another challenge that is not trivial to achieve. This topic brings up one of my gripes that everything in the soundstage...

You don't show a pic, but I'm pretty sure the Luxman is supposed to have a heavy rubber mat, not velvet. Edit: Hmm... looks like it might be original, after all. Never seen one with it, though.

Lance is really the prince of hosts, and well-practiced at that. The music was sublime. Pity I missed the Supertramp! Thanks, Lance, for a memorable afternoon. It was nice chatting with fellow music lovers in that relaxing setting.

My thoughts exactly. The space is acoustically poor. Actually a failure of the architect to not factor in appropriate acoustic design. It is important to identify the point of failure if the school hopes to rectify the issue. Acoustic treatments that will effectively ameliorate the problem will...

And a cigar! :ROFLMAO: (I once bought a car from a cigar-smoking woman who had the most immaculate set of teeth).

Just a heads-up: in the comments section of this video, other users have expressed varying experiences and measurements of the same model, so YMMV.

I'll be there, Lance. Might be a tad late, as I am attending another event in the morning.

Bullies?

I believe that "Zero Ohm" is their product name, rather than spec. Sneaky, though. Some might say clever. Solen offers a "Perfect Lay" inductor, FWIW.

Numbers don't help, I'm sorry to say. Even a 35Hz low end can give you something. You really have to have some "lessons learned" under your belt before the numbers begin to be relatable, and then only subject to final implementation. You can start with a known good driver and make your design...

Thanks, Jozua. I have not finished it yet. Getting top gear second-hand is the main way I have been able to afford the hobby.
