@Gilchrc, After checking that video, I realise that  DIY is not the same for all men. My whole property is not as big as the factory that those "DIY" speakers were "produced" in. I will humbly get on with building my Kingdoms as surreptitiously as possible for I fear that compared to that DIY...

@ Mistro, I am from an old school that believes that one is never too old to learn. I don't believe that you can't teach an old dog new tricks etc, So  please be so kind as to teach me how to appreciate "rap" because to me music is the thing that matters not my shortsightedness . Maybe one day...

There is no substitute for taste. For a generation of people who consider "Rap" as music, it's no wonder they sell so much. It's not melody they want ,it's beat and mindless verbal garbage. Note also how many "new" songs are hits that are actually the throw away versions of Bob Dylan,and his...

We are forgetting that a different cable is being used and we all KNOW that CABLES make a difference. Jozua is hearing the difference between the single ended cable and the XLR cable.  QED? No? Yes? Placebo?

Ghostie,  When that light goes on it usually means that the alternator is not charging. The light will go brighter as the engine revs up because that light shows current flow. So as the engine revs up it is using more current from the battery and will glow brighter. Now if the alternator is...

I only hear the hiss when Dave Brubeck and his friends stop playing the music and the recording engineer slides his control to the point where there is no longer any signal (or hiss)

@ Jazzy,  There is a place in Maple street just off Pomona street in Kempton Park that should be able to make you a board like that. They have an amazing variety of wood too,so I am sure that the leadwood you want will be available from them. Is this to be a plinth for your Goldmund ? Silly...

@ Jim Gore.  Where were you for the DIY get together this year. I for one was looking forward to seeing what you would produce with your very above average workmanship. The finish and repair of these Linn's is truly remarkable.

@ rodga, I am also in centurion and if the pieces of mdf are not long cuts, I may be able to help you. PM me and we can set up a meeting to see if I have the right stuff for your project. Regards,  Mike.

@ Valvesound, How many hours of listening and testing did you go through before you could be able to give such sound and good advice? All I can say is that I have heard some of your creations and have never heard as good a sound on a set of Quad 11's driven by your valve preamp once in my...

Thank you Shonver, I am now enlightened in what I wrongly perceived as a digital tone control. However, in spite of the magic this machine can do, I will still keep my system as simplistic as possible No disrespect to all the DSP people out there.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't DSP a digital version of the old "equaliser" tone control system that was looked down upon by real audiophiles not many years ago ? But now because it is digital, and new and fashionable to do "room correction" all real audiophiles are setting their tone...

Is Rudi going to be there???  Martin, you better get your measuring instruments out ....and make sure Francois and Johan are on standby if some muscle is needed.  I'm joking. However I understand that Martin has modified the bass section of the horns, making it better than the Infinity bass...

Ask Francois of this forum, he knows the prices of the parts you need. All I know is that it is not cheap to fix with originals but then again ,it is a Plinius. Installing the new bits is not really rocket science, so you could probably DIY for about two hours of your time. you may need some...

This may be a bit off topic, but Francois of this forum bought a load of Chinese transistors and after installing them in an amp he was trying to restore, batch after batch failed. He built a cluster of all these shot transistors which he now uses to keep evil spirits away from his house, like...

@ Skollie.  I was going to machine a set of brass screws to fit , but Francois happened by my house last night before I had the time to make the screws, but I think the new owner can get the correct screws from you, but for my money, a nice big brass domed screw would really put the finishing...

I am probably the exact opposite of that oak. I cant stop trying to get anyone to come and listen to the music in the listening room. I think Francois, Vinyljan, Supergrand,Adrian111 and Markc will back my statement, all of the above have been given extensive demonstrations of music at my house...

Not everyone has a desire to visit the Boksburg Flea Market, but last week my wife and friends persuaded me to go with them. Being an old man now, I find that I have to frequently visit the toilet for a pee. Now for this reason ,I know a lot about where to find a toilet in all the shopping...

I  agree with Roux 28 on this one. Any practical joke or prank  doesn't feature as amusing to me, especially if it involves my wife sitting helplessly on the side of the road, which in this country is nerve racking even for an unarmed male. Tom,I have always had the highest respect for you...

I have the greatest admiration and envy for Jim Gore, Not only has he shown his amazing ability in the design and building some of the most beautiful and wonderful sounding speakers, but he also has designed and built an amplifier of note. That's not all he can do, what I am trying to say is...
