More information as to why this problem exists with the layout of your house would be helpful. From the minimal information given so far, I assume the basis of the issue is the availability of power points. If so, I would rather put the hifi and speakers closer together and run a long power...

Does it really matter? There are flat cables and there are conventional round cables. The commonsense thing to do, is to try the different cables in your system and choose whichever you prefer. Other people's opinions are of no consequence as you are the one who will pay for the cables and you...

The 8% pertains to Saturday's attendance figures. What was the total attendance over the 3 days compared to last years?

There are many factors playing into the low turnout and advertising is probably the least of those. Even though there was as much or possibly slightly more advertising this year compared with last year, the visitor numbers declined by just over half. As it turns out, Cape Town was hosting the...

I visited the expo yesterday (Saturday 26th) between 10:45am and 14:30pm. It was a perfect, sunny Cape Town summers day and the expo generally speaking, was a big step up from last year. All of the exhibitors put a lot of effort into setting up their rooms for not only optimum sound...

The stable of local "proudly South African" audio manufacturers is steadily growing. By now, we forumites will be familiar with Valve Audio, Mars Tube Amps, Sonor speakers trading under the name "Sounds Natural", Bentley speakers and a lesser-known speaker brand (at least to me), Fourier...

What a beautiful location in which to enjoy the Cape Town HiFi Expo. Conveniently located with easy access and stunning views inside the Expo as well as outside in the immediate environment.

Anyone who like me owns a Technics SL-7 or SL-10 amongst various other decks, already have a deck which could be stood upright if so desired and they happen to be much better looking than the one in the opening post. The vertical turntable concept is not new and added to that, the linear...

That is not anywhere near the upper limit, it is in the INSANE zone. A pair of SL1200 decks usually have an asking price of around R20k-R25k and that includes cartridges and styli. A single deck generally has an asking price of around R7500 to R9k and again, that includes a cartridge and stylus...

I note that there is a radio interview lined up on Fine Music Radio 101.3 FM but, no mention of approaching KFM 94.5 FM who happen to be the biggest regional radio station in Cape Town and always happy to promote all music related and for that matter, all community related events. They will...

When it comes to many of the modern dance forms, I frankly don't give a sh*t as it is self-indulgent crap. As for the photograph, if it is not self-evident and requires an explanation for the viewer to understand what is supposed to be conveyed, then it is usually what the creator would consider...

It should be simple enough for the dealers to create a short 3 to 5 minute, good quality video which can be done with practically any cellphone these days. A simple introduction of who they are (so and so from XYZ Audio etc) inviting everyone to the expo to experience their gear. A quick look...

@achim, I really do empathize with the frustration you must feel dealing in the local market. Whilst Cape Town is a beautiful place to live, the financial exchange rate is the most negative aspect influencing lackluster sales. Also, when dealing with locals who have minimal overseas travel...

It would really help if the individuals names were posted with the photos as anyone who has not met these folk in person will still not know who they are. Since I attended last year's event, I know it is Achim in the main pic, I recognize the chap in the bottom left photo only due to the PS...

Any electronic supply store will carry those. RS Electronics, Mantech, Yebo Electronics etc. If you don't have a store near you, then try getting the fuses from any technician in your area who does repairs.

This is not "natural" extinction with the exception of the deforestation for agriculture and other economic reasons. The current wide-spread destruction of forests and agricultural land is a deliberate program driven by the American defense-force outfit known as Darpa who were also behind the...

I will not waste my time presenting research to non-believers. Do your own research if you are truly interested in the topic. Suffice to say that as Nicola Tesla confirmed, the universe is all about sound, frequency and vibration. So just as the correct mantra (repetitive sound / vibration) can...

A very interesting documentary on the history of NAD.

Various factors affect your ability to achieve the desired result. These include the appropriate size speaker for the room size matched with the optimum amplification to drive the speaker optimally. If the system is correctly matched, it results in loading the room correctly and you should be...
