    Harman-Kardon CL

    Bought a pair of these for the GF, style and build quality above sonic prowess, but they dont sound bad, just nothing exciting

    Heard through "The Grapevine"...

    +1 Sony has in general not produced a single product in years that I have found even remotely interesting. Their ****** HTiB systems have polluted so many ears and shops, there will still be brand presence here, but lets be honest we never got the good stuff in any case. The new hi-res music...

    Post Office

    Sort off, only a small portion of the staff were on strike, but they caused untold harm and inflicted fear on anyone brave enough to want to work. So it has taken the Post Office this long to get a urgent interdict preventing striking workers from approaching there premises and they now have...

    Any shortcuts I can take to get my parcel quicker?

    It must be Christmas for those at the Post Office who like ten finger discounts with all that chaos :-[

    Any shortcuts I can take to get my parcel quicker?

    This is what JIMC looks like apparently... You have to  :pray: that your item isnt at the bottom of that mess getting crushed and battered...

    Any shortcuts I can take to get my parcel quicker?

    For ***** and giggles I checked on the progress of my amp, almost fell of my chair, its been scanned in at Cape Town Intl Hub :faint: So I'm guessing they have run out of space at JIMC and have started shifting items elsewhere.... I wonder if I will ever see my amp in one piece once its toured...

    Intl Shipping

    Well the JIMC is not functioning, they take in intl mail but do nothing with it (Christmas time if you work there and like 10 finger discounts) Bloody useless, as there are many Employees still working so you would think the priority would be JIMC and the major hubs like Witspos.... but no JIMC...

    Intl Shipping

    Well atleast with DHL their high salaries are earned and they do the work asked of them, look at SAPO execs who get paid well (plus take huge amounts on the side) and still coudlnt give a flying  :ticked: about getting the job done.

    Intl Shipping

    I have found DHL to be very good, but they definitely come at a price. They have delivered on time every time so far (even with customs, though they have clearing agents) The nice thing with them is that they seem to have a great tracking process, as if you phone them they tell you exactly...

    Any shortcuts I can take to get my parcel quicker?

    Been trying for the past week or so, NO F*CKING ANSWER! Surely they could include a message saying we are closed till further notice instead of the message saying your call will answered. I can only imagine what that place must look like with 2+ weeks of international mail piling up, and given...

    Beats by Dre

    As abit of a headphone nut, here is my  :2c: The Beats, especially current series 2 are by no means poor headphones. You can easily get a more neutral, accurate and all round better headphone for 2/3 of the price without much of an issue. But lets be honest, the 13 year old is not planning on...

    My amp also vanished on arrival in SA on the 17th of September. No-one answers the phone at any post office number, so here we sit in the dark waiting for who knows what...

    DAC/HeadAmp upgrade

    Well if the post office would get their arse together I could get my Phonitor 2 and let you know how it sounds, I bought it mainly to drive as many different headphones as possible. I chose the Phonitor 2 as from what I have read it should be neutral and have enough grunt to push the T1's to...

    ^ spot on, you upset with your employer so you destroy my goods? You steal my goods and get fired, so your friends get upset with the "unfair" employer and burn my other goods in protest? :facepalm:

    Postal Services (or NOT)

    My poor Phonitor 2 is sitting in Germany still (small blessing I guess as atleast it isnt sitting in a depot here waiting to be kicked or burnt). Striking should not be a problem, the problem is the violence attached to striking in this country. For fear of violence even people who want to work...

    DAC/HeadAmp upgrade

    I agree completely with your sentiments regarding local guys not assisting. I have imported the last 3 major purchases myself due to the fact that MOST(not all) local guys don't give you the chance to demo, or even keep stock on hand. The only thing they apparently offer is warranty, which I...
