    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    Interesting evening with many insights shared and firsthand experiences gained. One point made by Stefan (Air) was that streamers are a convenient (in the broad sense) music source.

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    A good audio day organised by the CTHFC. It gave us a new perspective on DIY. It has certainly come a long way from "backyard builds" often associated with this side of the audio hobby.

    Yamaha rx v459
