I was wondering whether there?s a solution to my problem. I recently moved my NAD dvd player from my bedroom system to the main system in the living room.  I also have an LG Hard drive/DVD recorder in the main system. I discovered that the remotes for both the units - the NAD and the LG...

Mike M echoed my sentiment quite aptly. As I said, my post was spurred by another post on the emotional impact of music can have. I suppose we?re all in it for different motives. For me, sound equipment is a means to an end, the end being a greater emotional connection to the music being...

A thought just occurred to me, stirred by Enigma_2k4?s earlier post on Sound and it's ability to make you feel euphoric I find myself more and more concerned with how my system sounds these days rather than just sitting down and enjoying the music. It seems the more I am able to afford some of...

I've always wondered the same thing. Many recordings, including ones that audiophiles treasure, are produced using pro-equipment. By ?pro? (and any other pro-equipment like headphones, cables, etc.) I'm referring to equipment used in studios by recording engineers and the like, not the junk...

I remember many years ago when I watched The Lion King for the first time in Dolby Digital theater ? I was blown away by the sound. I even went back and watched the movie about 5 more times just for the sound. That was in 1994. It seems to that these days commercial movie theaters do not...

I got suckered into buying an MVix thinking that it could play my cd collection ripped into WAV files.  I can't for the life of me understand why this thing cannot play WAV files.

My last couple of interactions with them were not pleasant.  For my last purchase their courier company sent my package to a wrong address (Nelspruit instead of Pretoria). Soundz didn't seemed all too concerned about it and I basically left it to me to sort the whole mess out with their courier...

Does anyone know where one can buy a decent sound card locally? The only supplier I know of is Soundz.co.za and I don't want to do business with them any longer. Something with a SPDIF output and MIDI I/O. Any recommendations?

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the best recording heard in the past year. Mine is "Beyond Standard", an album by Hiromi released on the Telarc label. The recording is first rate and the performance is absolutely awesome, especially the rendition of "Caravan".

I'm using a CRT TV, so hooking up the PC to it is out. I intend using a 17 LCD monitor in the mean time until I get an LCD TV. Unfortunately I'm in Pretoria. Might be coming to PE in a couple of weeks though. How did you hook up your audio to the Yamaha - analogue or digital? What sound card are...

I already have most of the necessary parts lying around, except for the sound card and case. I was basically curious to see how viable it would be. For noise reduction, I thought of applying some DIY and tricks  I read about on the net - such as applying Dynamat, lubricating fan bearings, for...

Thanks for the response. I almost bought the Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS last week for what I thought was a decent price (R900), but was discouraged after reading about numerous accounts of problems caused by unstable drivers and lack of support by Creative. I did consider the X-Fi card but I...

Hi all Been lurking around the forum for the past year or so but never posted anything until now. I?ve been thinking of putting together an audio-dedicated pc to incorporate into my sound system. This is what I have in mind: - a low-end-ish  P3 based pc with a video on-board motherboard -...
