    how to pay fines in kzn?

    Its a balls up procedure, I had one going to Kokstad, had to pay it directly to the court, so you will have to have the summons number and then find the relevant court and contact them to get bank details....

    Denon AH D7200 Review

    I have the previous versions, and although most of the world disagreed with me, I love them. They are one of only three headphones that have remained in my collection and remain my go to for bass with detail, so maybe it is time to get the new version, plus its nice to see they haven't been...

    Budget R8k HT

    They do, but generally I prefer the sound of Yammie cheopo speakers, and the reliability of Onkyo amps is still tainted by their history of fried boards...

    Knee-jerk cost increases

    And this is why the local market is shrinking. I should not be able to import an item (including the relevant customs and freight costs) for less than what a local importer is offering it. How can it be that I paid a freight company, SARS,  a different Govt's VAT (doesn't apply to all...

    Is there place for one more loudspeaker line in SA and if yes, which brand?

    From my experience there seems to be a very big gap locally between the rubbish sold at Makro, Game and Hifi Corruption and the entry level systems from B&W, NAD, Monitor Audio etc. If we want this industry to grow we need to catch them when they young and hook them on early. My first proper...

    Is there place for one more loudspeaker line in SA and if yes, which brand?

    Well I still think the IAG brands (Wharfedale, Castle, Quad, Mission) deliver the best value for money that can be found commercially. Locally we have very limited lines available and therefore no real support. The new Quads and Wharfedales look sublime. They have a habit of being priced...

    How much is an upgrade worth?

    Well the 75k is for new gear, and is therefore never going to yield the best bang for buck performance. Second hand deals on this here forum will give you some of the best value for money anywhere. It also obviously comes down to preference (what do you crave most, midrange, reference level...

    Leave a rating!

    I think this would be great to implement as a rule, all members involved in transactions must within 2 weeks of concluding the deal provide a rating. I think that would prevent some of the less than honest dealings on this forum. No idea how this would be enforced, but would be nice  ;D

    Calling all Margate'ers

    The above being mostly true, Port Shepstone has had a number of business growing and is steadily becoming a decent hub. The biggest expansion on the South Coast is the new highway that will stretch through the transkei (already under construction). Once this project is complete expect new...

    2016 SF Extrema mini restoration project

    Ideally I would like to do the violin string SF design for these, not the standard grille cloth type. But not sure if I will even get round to it anytime soon

    2016 SF Extrema mini restoration project

    Unfortunately no grilles, they actually on the to do list (want to see how good the 3d printing can be), along with some new speaker terminals on the rear (though the current ones are okay, the one speaker has a mismatched pair on the LF section) would like some nice WBT platinum on the rear if...

    2016 SF Extrema mini restoration project

    I landed up prying these babies from Swindlehurstguy about 3 months ago. They are well looked after for 20 year old speakers, but the stands were in poor shape (rust, blotchy paint etc) and the one tweeter had a decent sized crease on the one edge. Swindlehurstguy had spent some hours polishing...
