    What do you wish you knew when you started this journey?

    Winner. For me, it was wasting time and money on AV when all I'm actually interested in is listening to music.

    Wristwatch,any love?

    Thanks, that's the green Orient Kamasu. Pic from the internet, it's a VERY dark green. I've foolishly since sold it, but I'm thinking of getting an Orient Mako to modify.

    Wristwatch,any love?

    Probably some of the most understated watches. They’re everything the Seiko 5 should have been.

    Wristwatch,any love?

    I suspect it’s like knife collecting where n+1 is the correct amount you need to own, except this could become very expensive very quickly. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    NAD 3020 as a pre-amplifier - is it any good?

    Was the first amp I've bought with my own money - I can still remember saving up all my pocket money until I EVENTUALLY had enough, then my dad took me to HiFi installations in Pretoria to go buy it. I think it was R1000 on the dot.

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    Seems like a great price. I've paid not much less for the same(Deye + Dyness), but excluding the panels. I've asked about Hubble, he said they're not using them anymore because of support issues. Installation is a huge cost in relation to the rest(around R16k iirc incl COC), and there are some...

    Car insurance question

    I’m not an expert but it sound like they’d simply claim betterment. Your car didn’t have new wheels. Had a similar case many years ago where I was involved in a fender bender and one headlight had to be replaced and I was left with one shiny new headlight and one dull, old one. The best I...

    Iconic products - those gems that passed through your life

    Forgot to mention, I've messed up again after that. :D My dad had a Proton AM455 Pro with the Schalk Havenga/HiFi Installations audiophile upgrade. When he started getting into home theater he bought a HK AV amp and swapped me the Proton for my Nad which he gifted to his sister. Then when he...

    Iconic products - those gems that passed through your life

    For me, it's the Pioneer SX34B valve integrated receiver. It was handed down to my dad from his dad and then given to me around grade 11 together with a hand-me-down Technics CD player, Pioneer PL12 turntable, and some old AR speakers. This was my first hifi and I thought it was old crap, so as...
