    Fix bakkie or sell as is ?

    I agree whole heartedly with Vleisman. Fix the cylinder head gasket, don't meddle with the rings, bearings or any thing else, and sell it. Whoever buys this bakkie is getting a very good vehicle, provided it isn't rusting somewhere.

    I was joking  about "if you have to ask. "  I am one of those people who cannot afford a Gryphon. Even this "budget" model.

    Average amplifier power

    In my opinion " There is always justification for more amplification" If 10 watts was good enough, why would manufacturers make more powerful amps? If you take the time to listen to a very powerful amp, you would hear a big difference in every way, soundstage,stereo imaging, headroom, and all...

    What Artists Get Wrong With Their Vinyl Releases

    Here I have to agree with Rotten One Very few sound engineers are real music lovers, they do a job ,record the music , get the job done ,go home drink beer and watch Judge Judy on TV using the TV speakers. I dont think that real well recorded music is worth the time it takes for them. Finally...

    What Artists Get Wrong With Their Vinyl Releases

    Why is it such an issue to have 20 minutes or less per side of an LP? Why not cut the time per side and give the groove all the space it needs to make music more realistic. I want good sound , I dont  need to know that I have an extra two minutes of compromised music instead of two minutes...

    Active Speakers - can you do better?

    Bear in mind that having an active crossover means that you need a separate amplifier for every driver in the speaker. In other words, three way speaker needs three amplifiers or for a stereo three way speaker system ,three stereo amps. I imagine that having so many amps dedicated to a...

    Why is there (amost) no bass on some recordings?

    I had the same shock when I found a very scarce copy of Uriah Heep live 1976. I always remembered that the bass player . with his very distinct sound being featured quite prominently, but on this cd  it was as if the bass was throttled to almost non existant levels. Very disappointing and...

    Valve / hybrid amps

    One can obtain high power tube amps , but they are expensive. There were a few Manley tube amps available for about R120,000 with a power rating of about 600 Watts per mono block. But then again the price of a Krell FPB 700 ,which is about the same power rating sells for about the same price...
