I really like control via the tablet as naughty posted, but I still want the PC out of the room. There is a lan connection between the computer location and the 'cave'. How do I get the signal from the pc to the 'cave'? I have started reading up on the raspberry pi 2. I used to be able to...

Wow, again I'm blown away by the forums lively and well informed responses. Thanks everyone! I'm busy going through each response slowly. My thoughts at the moment are that I will set up a temporary solution. I'll use my old PC (asus motherboard, coax output, jriver) even though its about 5...

My question to the forum is what is the best platform to store and play music from? And I dont mean vinil, no offence dad, but this is a digital question.  I'm looking for a powerful music server that remains value for money. My thoughts at the moment are to search for a good but not...

I cannot remember the exact amount, it was somewhere between R600 and R800.  Cheaper than buying a new Oppo!

Thanks everyone, nuances of the term soundproofing noted.  This forum is really a treasure trove, every time I ask a question there is this wealth of information forthcoming.  And yes I just need to be able to keep the sound inside so I don't wake up the kids when Pink Floyd is making a noise...

Just to close out this question. I took the machine to homemation and they fixed it perfectly. Now the remote doesn't work :vsad: but I have been googling it and it looks like I will be able to program some specific programmable remotes. I'll probably start a new thread about that.

I'm looking for advice and a supplier of soundproofing curtains. My 'man cave' is coming on nicely, but the door is still open. The opening is too small for a door frame (especially for getting furniture down). I have considered many options and I think a curtain that has been designed for...

I have inherited an OPPO Blue Ray Disc player BDP-83. Problem is it doesnt work :walled:. It looks like the HDMI out port has failed. So I have two questions to the forum 1. Do you think its worth fixing? Its not new, so it may be worth saving the repair money for a newer player. 2. Do you know...

Sorry! Names are a particular weak point of mine  :-[ Watched Mockingjay (hope Ive got this right) on the Optoma last night. Absolutely awesome. width of the projection 3.7m. Thats is about the size of a 170 inch screen. Really impressive.

Just a bit of feedback. I had excellent service from AV Arts on this. Joel fetched and delivered my porjector in person. These guys know what they are doing and I recommend them to anyone.

Timber, I truly would like to know. I am keeping an open mind and  if I have learnt anything in two decades of engineering it is that you need to listen to the people that have already done whatever you are planning to do. Achim, Im actually pleased that you are not planning on hooking up the...

What a problem to have! Please let me know where and when.

So I'd like to write a short review in the zero1 audition. Firtstly thank you to Joel for having us and all the effort you went to to set everything up. I feel a bit like a wine critic that does not know the 'lingo', I am by no means a professional, simply a music lover. I went to the audition...

Hi Rodney, Absolutely, but I dont really know how. Ill tell you what I have in mind, maybe there is some value in that, I probably need to do quite a lot more. Essentially there are 6 flat surfaces to work on, four walls, the floor and roof. For the floor Im planning to comission a carpet...

Glad you like the sofa Achim. I think its actually pretty key to the enjoyment of the room, and that sofa is just perfect. Its from van der Berghs in Cape town.

So where do I start; the project involves both audio and visual components and I know these will interest different groups.... I'll just start with what I have in mind and hopefully the right people will see the thread. One of the first elements I want to get sorted out is the screen because...

Dont worry Achim, I was very impressed my conclusion was just different to what I expected it would be. Yeah, got ithe pics to work. As you can see from that pic the room is pretty rustic. Brick walls, off shutter concrete roof, parquet floor. Here is the screen/speaker side as well. Dont...

Hi Achim You may know that I have auditioned the zero1's and the Uno's already. My findings were completely cotrary to what I was expecting. I will give a detailed account of that review when I have time to do it justice. I would very much like to come and see you, I heard rumors of the Trio's...

More than AV advice, thanks! The room sits at a pretty constant 19 degrees in summer. Havent lived in the house long enough to see what happens in winter. At least it is completely dry (Its kind of what I do for a living). Do you think that will have an adverse effect on the AV equipment? I...
