Thanks for alerting us @Trompie67 . We were aware of the glitch since earlier this morning and fixed it but maybe there might be something we still miss. I have registered wit 3 different email addresses now and all worked well but then again I am not sure whether I registered for the CTHFE...

We are checking and working on it, will give feedback soon. But rest assured, you are welcome in JHB ;)

This glitch was fixed earlier this morning i think, when did you try to RSVP?

https://www.eventcreate.com/e/johannesburg-fringe-hifi The team that arranged the successful CTHFE2022 last year invite all to join us in what we plan to be an exciting day of music, conversations, meeting old friends and finding new ones whilst being entertained by fine HiFi systems and...

Holo Audio is known for its DACs, extreme build quality, and excellent sound, all with a high performance-to-price ratio. I am confident, based on my own experience and of feedback of those that had the exposure, that the much-discussed RED streamer will continue to build on Holo's reputation -...

Thanks, @johanhp. Valuable insights based on a comparison between competitive products. In a similar vein, here is also a comparative overview of 3 products, including the Holo RED.

To sweeten this incredible deal, we have decided to include a WiiM Pro(instead of the Mini). https://stereo-direct.co.za/products/fezz-audio-torus-5060-integrated-amplifier-silver-demo-unit

The OP's question is probably one of the most discussed topics over the years(together, of course, with cable debates ;)) but one that nonetheless has never led to any definitive answers. Linn used to say the source is most important, but of course, they would, as they made their name with...

News from our friends in Prague is the launch of a new speaker that will only be produced in a limited run of 50. The Virtuosa Anniversario project is the world’s first to use the latest generation of transducer technology, which allows music to be revealed to a degree never before possible...

This thread is running the risk of being high-jacked and spiralling into a dogfight. The OP didn't ask for a comparison between specific products or what is the best streamer etc. The original question had to do with the pros and cons of a separate streamer. However, here is an...

We have decided to include a WiiM Mini with the Fezz Torus as a package. This unit was well received at the CPHFE2022 and we believe that with the added WiiM the deal represents exceptional value. https://stereo-direct.co.za/products/fezz-audio-torus-5060-integrated-amplifier-silver-demo-unit...

Thanks, @pwatts, for providing a bit more informed perspective on the topic, which by the way I see it, is not whether the Red Holo is a Pi or not, or better or worse than a Pi, but rather what might be the benefits of a stand-alone digital streamer/server/transport. I have not compared all the...

Some very clever and experienced people are on the forum, so getting more views would be interesting. Still, from my own understanding and experience, I would say the business case for a stand-alone streamer could involve some of the following points: PCs and laptops, in general, are noisy, and...

The Moonriver continues to get excellent press, reviews, and feedback from shows like the Munich event. Here is one of the latest reviews. https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/moonriver-404-reference-more-is-more/ (On a more personal level, it has become my amp of choice, given our energy...

Some sound advice in general and the 1st point of @kinosfronimos in particular. I would add make sure you have a good handle on what you need vs what you want. The sweet spot is probably in between these 2. I think one must also look at interest cycles or, more generally, economic cycles. In...

A magic moment at sunset before settling down for a lovely evening at home.

Look at these stands. It creates the visual space I was talking about, but ocuping the same footprint(2d) Photo from the net. Mono & Stereo © 2023: SOLIDSTEEL SS SERIES SPEAKER STANDS

I agree with @Baseline line that the physical space that a stand-mount and floor-stander occupy is the same, but that is only if you look at it from a 2-dimensional view. Looking at space as architects and interior designers do in 3d, stand-mounts appear lighter in a room. The type of stands...
