    Thanks, I’ll give him a call, however the last time he repaired an amp for me, he had said he wasn’t so good with digital type things like AVr’s and the like Anyway worth a try

    DAC repair

    Can anyone recommend someone that can assist with DAC repair? I have a wonderful sounding TeddyPardo DAC that is making an audible crackling/distortion noise through the speakers across all inputs (tested on multiple systems and in different locations, so am sure it’s the DAC & not noise within...

    Dont fall for this scam!

    100% without a doubt, but not at the expense of becoming a homemation shill… you can punt whatever brand product you want to, but what also starts to happen is if you call every brand amazing and then every brand trash, people tend to start asking questions is all. There is a reason I...

    Dont fall for this scam!

    I suppose at least you’re “honest in saying not buying gray your paying for the distributors agents “overheads…staff, warehousing etc (not profit)” and then of course distributors “there’s more margin there” Thanks, clear now. Funny I find it how your content is basically nothing more now than...

    Your holy grail LP album

    I have 5 records really as my last “white whales”, anything else on my discogs want list is pure want and almost irrelevant if I never get them. If I ever get these 5 I’d consider myself never needing another record to add to my collection: 1. Alison Krauss + Union Station’s, 2001, new...

    SL1200 Turntable are they worth it

    I suppose I should’ve likely asked “what is the upper limit for you” as some people have different price / value ceilings. Personally I agree with comments above R20k is a lot of ask for a single (seemingly immaculate) sl1200. I love the technics tt, but I wouldn’t pay R20k for a 1200, I’d pay...

    Replacement Ear Pads

    there is technically no Sony South Africa (other than for TV’s & cameras) Sony as in audio is distributed by an agent is SA that holds few parts and are useless at the best of times, they don’t even carry replacement parts like batteries for current WH-1000Xm3 models

    Gallo or Virgin Records SA - Did anyone work for them (or know someone who did)

    I’d reach out to Benji moodie at vinyl junkie . He is an encyclopedia of all things LP being a stalwart in the industry and having worked at many of the labels

    Valve Audio Predator - Speaker Pairing

    I suppose it also depends on how OCD you are…I agree that at certain times there may be a possible miss on attention to the finest detail that perhaps exists in more scaled production lined manufactured speakers that employ dozens of people to manage the robots (and of course every pair that is...

    Valve Audio Predator - Speaker Pairing

    Have you owned a pair of them? Having owned the Fr150 bookshelves (which were amazing, I still miss them to this day), a pair of 120’s which were musical & sounded phenomenal, to having upgraded them to a pair of the 250’s which I currently own are truly sublime (there are a number of members...

    How to ditch DSTV but still watch the rugby?

    I doubt the brains at multichoice will ever skin the cat right in the favour of the consumer. They have the monopoly, if every person could choose, 80% will choose sports only. But the “extended sports” in this article will already cost more than premium currently costs at R699. Why would I pay...

    How to ditch DSTV but still watch the rugby?

    No legal way round it. You can subscribe to DStv stream for R699 a month (will work same as Netflix sub) will only allow 1 stream at a time (not multiple devices at same time) Essentially you then look at it as a pay per view (that’s how I look at it) so when the rugby is on if I get to watch...

    Recommend me a pair of in ear headphones

    Since this thread went up I’ve come back to the pair of Xm4’s which were replaced by Sony Europe. I love the sound of the xm4. But I can back with a pair xm5’s aswell. So the Xm4’s along with the Jabras are up for sale If they don’t sell I’ll happily listen to the Sonys until they cease
