    Entry level music system.

    This looks like the type of thing I need, stereo, Airplay, Bluetooth, wifi etc. both digital and analog inputs and 160W per channel. Above the budget though. https://www.audicoonline.co.za/onkyo/Onkyo-TX8270?sort=p.price&order=ASC

    Entry level music system.

    I like to do proper research before I buy anything. I've learned quite a lot about "consumer" audio in the last day or 2, did a lot of reading etc. So what I can say now after my original post, after all your suggestions and all my reading. * The AV recievers like the Marantz SR-5011 look very...

    Entry level music system.

    Working threw all the links posted and really appreciate all advice so far. As for room size, around 6 x 6m with double volume ceiling, it currently has a couple of couches and a small bar with the TV in a big wood cabinet. I plan to eventually get a smaller TV stand or something and throw out...

    Entry level music system.

    Another quick one for you guys, I know this is kind of "how long is a piece of string" question, but just want a general idea. Whether looking at surround or stereo, more or less at what Wattage should I look at, how much is enough or decent or whatever, 50W per channel, 100W per channel, 150W...

    Entry level music system.

    Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm leaning more towards stereo to be honest, since I don't buy DVD's, Blueray etc. As for looking at the Marantz options and others, can you recommend a couple of online sellers in SA with a big range where I can get a scope on what's available and pricing?

    Entry level music system.

    Hi all I'm quite new to this side of the audio world and need some recommendations. I want to get some decent kit for my man cave, I have a TV in it, but I'm not much of a TV or movie guy, so I guess surround sound isn't that important, but music is, I love music, I love good music. I mostly...

    Want to start out with vinyl, need your advice.

    Hi-Phibian, I'll definatly talk to you in the new year, I'll maybe even have to come around. In the meanwhile, is it possible for you to give me some ballpark pricing on different options? You now know more or less what I'm looking at.

    Want to start out with vinyl, need your advice.

    Anything can be stuffed up, what I actually ment was in terms of sound quality, is there a difference in your opinion between direct and belt?

    Want to start out with vinyl, need your advice.

    Thanks, quick look at the Technics SL10 and it looks quite nice. May I dare to ask though, what's the opinion on direct drive vs belt drive?

    Want to start out with vinyl, need your advice.

    Hi all I remember a few stints in my early childhood when my dad hooked up his old turntable, but he was never really in to it so it got placed back in to the cupboard after something broke and forgotten there. Later on I got more and more in to audio up to the point where I?m currently working...

    Reel to Reel

    Hi all, old thred I know. I have 2 Revox R2R machines which I baught from a oomie 5 or so years ago. Both are B77 I think but they are not 100% similar so the one is probably a MK1 and the other a MK2, if I remember correctly both are semi working in terms of playback, but there are something...
