    Choices in upgrading a music room.

    I second that 200%. Roy is LEGEND in SA industry for his acoustic doors. Radio stations, Universities and many many others use his product as no other can match what he has achieved. :thumbs:

    RIP Genesis

    Not out of disrespect that I have not yet contributed here. I am merely at a loss for words, That one of the finest friends I've ever had is just, GONE. Mike was the type of friend that you did not have to see every weekend, nor be on the phone for every second day. Whenever you picked up the...

    Aluminium cutting, finishing, and anodising

    Aluminum panels fine with powder coating. There shall always be some spot where they hang it from a hook but mostly not too bad. I usually had a little "tail" cut on a rear corner or unobtrusive spot which it could be hung from. Post powder coat I would just snip it off and cover up with a dab...

    Aluminium cutting, finishing, and anodising

    I had Piet do two front panels for me which came out fantastic, cost a fair price as Ceracote is not exactly cheap. He however said that this was not really his territory, as doing guns to the delight of peeps all over is his passion. He is well respected even in the States. So I started...

    Aluminium cutting, finishing, and anodising

    True, that's why I have chosen the Ceracote route. Once a piece is ruined during anodizing, you might as well junk it. The surface layer actually modifies slightly due to the current and then it becomes a nightmare. Reworking never gets it to be virgin anymore. Ceracote not liked universally though.

    cartridge thoughts

    That is what I love about the v d Hul carts, no over damping at all. Crystal clear, perhaps Johan can agree / shoot down my thoughts? After all my hearing is shot, 70+

    cartridge thoughts

    I can vouch for AJ van den Hul, the Crimson and Colibri series. Currently running the Crimson Black as well as the Colibri Grand Cru. Fantastic resolution of every sliver of detail without being in your face. Had previously the Colibri XGP, Crimson Red (now with Agaton) and a previous version of...

    The Stereo Music Show 18 -20 June Carnival City Conference Centre Rio Rooms

    Yes old J did, got it eventually as well. Then he agonized about having it finished/anodized. I offered to do a Ceracote destruct on it and he never came back... probably scared I'd make it look like a VA. All in jest Josua, I like you too much and knowing your heart intimately I'd never do it...
