Couldn't agree more with the sentiments expressed about Emotiva. I've had an XPA-5 for some years now without any problem, until last friday evening. I'm only using two of the five channels at the moment and while playing some music at quite low levels one channel went into protection mode...

Went there last night to catch a different set at the Market Theatre. The sound was unbearably loud, especially the drums. It was virtually impossible to hear the piano and bass, especially during the loud moments. Pity because the music was quite good. Didn't bother to finish the last group's...

I unfortunately don't have one of those small laptops that use these types of drives. I tried a few data recovery places in Gauteng for assistance but they charge an arm and a leg to essentially just copy a few gigs of Word & Excel files and the Outlook pst file. The drive is fine, I just need...

Ok, went to HD Cabling and what they had won't work. I need something like this: Any ideas where I can find it? Importing one is just going to take too long.

Also considered that, but I don't have access of a netbook. Only have a laptop with the normal SATA connection. Great. Exactly what I need. And they are 20 minutes away. Thanks fellas

I'm afraid not. Not in this size. Went to three Matrix stores yesterday. None of them had it. Same with other pc shops I checked with. It seems like quite a hard to find item.

A family member accidentally ran over her laptop bag with her car and literally crushed her laptop to bits (yes, true story). Fortunately it seems the hard drive got through unscathed. It looks like this. It's a tiny 1.8 inch drive using a micro SATA interface. I didn't even know of it...

Oh yes. Hadn't thought of that. I'll do so. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you. I'll give him a call.

  Got two of these on ebay last year. Tested them and both when they were delivered and they worked fine. Mothballed them for months until I put together a DIY sub project. Now one doesn't work. Goes on but no sound comes through. I took it to two repair guys and both said they couldn't fix...

Been on a mission myself to explore more local jazz artists. Here are some I've been listening to recently.      

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Locked the car and went into a McDonalds. I happened to look outside at my car while waiting for the food and saw someone sitting on the driver's seat rummaging through the laptop bag. I quickly pressed the remote key and locked-in the person...

Interesting that the guy says he bought the drivers and the crossover from B&W directly. I wonder what he said to convince them.

If it is not late, you may want to look at this: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html I'm not sure if it is similar to the Avermedia recorder you mention. It has the capability to capture Dolby Digital streams. It doesn't handle DTS though,  but that shouldn't be too much of...

I got a pair of Yamaha EPH-100 in-ear phones for about R800 a few months ago at a forum member's recommendation. Amazing sound from these little things. Espeacially when I use them with my small USB powered NuForce amplifier. Easily the most value for money I have ever got from an audio...

No problem really, just a thought. As others have replied, the ideal centre channel speaker should be the same as the main speakers and placed in the same upright position and height as the mains. This is not a problem if one is using a projector (where the centre speaker can be placed behind...

I did in fact do a bit of reading on comb filtering. Most of the explanations were admittedly too technical for my understanding. Comb filtering seems to be the reason for one not to go with multiple centre speakers. There are some views though that comb filtering is not detrimental to accurate...

I often find that some centre channel speakers don?t adequately ?project? their sound as well as the main left/right speakers. I suppose this could be due to factors such as positioning or differences in the sonic character of the centre channel speaker when compared to the left & right channel...

I have to say, as a potential buyer, I find ?feelers? coy and indecisive. To me, they seem to suggest that the seller is not sure whether they want to sell or not. If one really wants to sell, putting in ?feeler? in the ad is unnecessary. After all, sellers do reserve the right to withdraw the...

The "Potholes" signs annoys me. Fix the damn things and stop warning about them
