Thank you for the feedback folks, it is appreciated :thumbs: Nirvana, I have only 1 pair of speakers that I am testing on - my Coral-based horns. Previously mentioned speakers in older posts are (1) the Sonor Audio Sirius, which are on the market at Audio Exchange and (2) the Acoustic Research...

Sorry folks, keep on forgetting to buy a cable  :facepalm:  I need to take some closeups of cables, CD players etc.  But, will keep the integrated a secret. Hmmmm...ok, a little whetting of the appetite goes a long way -  the only thing I will reveal for now is that she hails from a European...

Dankie Andre  :thumbs:

2 July 2021, about 05h00 Turned on and listened to 'Bosveld Stereo, die stasie met n hart van goud'.  Well, there we go again, definitely volume level discrepancies between left and right speakers at the very soft volume levels.  Will swap left to right this weekend and check if challenge moves...

1 July 2021, about 05h30 I was looking forward to the first morning of the ?rejuvenated? Classic 102.7.  Now being referred to as ?Hot 102.7?.  Didn't mind tuning into 91.9 and 93.8 on occasion, but a snide comment with reference to the average age of the listener compared to the age of classic...

30 June 2021, just after 04h00 First listening impressions using the tuner tuned into Classic 102.7 at extremely low volume level. Immediately notice a challenge ? the soundstage is compromised by a neat hole in the centre causing voices to diffuse and I can determine exactly where the...

A new thread and not in the vintage section.  Wonder why... Something New, with no hint of Blue Well, I can tell you that a new integrated amplifier arrived on my doorstep on 29 June 2021, kindly delivered by Stefan of Airmusic.  I wasn't at home to say thank you and shake his hand for...

Thanks to the demise of Classic 102.7, I have mothballed my tuners and replaced them with an old Dell laptop running Linux Mint and Firefox, a newly acquired DAC and happily stream jazz during the day. Many channels to choose from, but for now, the browser is 'tuned into' Smooth Jazz hosted in...

First time I meet the legend face-to-face, this turntable newbie walks in with a Linn Axis. G has a look and says "Aaahh, a K9 cartridge, a bit of a dog this one"... Can't quite figure out why he is dissing my machine... Going to miss his wit.

RIP G, your legacy will live on in the many cables and turntables that have passed through your hands.

Ugliest speaker?  Not by a long shot in my book. Disclaimer - these are my eyes talking. The only part of the design that presents itself as awkward are the bezels around the drivers - the "shocked look" effect.  A previous post likened them to "minions". If these were mine, I would lose the...

Bella Signora  :cleansound: She is art...that can be used. May you have many, many hours of pleasant listening.

Rather than continue the design debate in a thread that is going to disappear down the pages of the General Discussion Board, I thought it prudent to resurrect it right here, where the value of our 'local-is-lekker' products are being discussed. Please folks, I am doing this not to pee on...

Hi Naboo, I know of 2 companies: Audionote UK - last I saw they were still prototyping, pic of the prototypes in Peter Qvortrup's home.  Not sure if they made it into production. Shindo - both their speakers, Lafite and Latour, use field coil drivers.  Stefan at Airmusic can provide you with...

Joel, horses for courses and different tastes reign supreme.  I respect that. My classic differs from your classic and that's perfectly fine - we are all unique and our tastes differ.  Would be a boring world if we all had the same tastes. Schalk, not at this stage.  But do wish you and all...

Joel, you appear to have a passion for the local is lekker manufacturing companies and I applaud you for wanting to drive the quality of our offerings to the next level.  My next set of critiquing is a lot closer to home, but I am not attacking any individual, merely offering a personal...

Our 2 record player companies?

Have previously owned a VA Predator. Currently own Sonor Audio Sirius, but on the market to find a new home. Have a proudly made in SA AV shelf, homemade. Interconnects also made in sunny SA, based on Doug Schroeders research and recommendations and incorporating a helix earth from a cable that...

It's not just about how easily one can find a website, SEO techniques are well known at this stage, Sonor is indeed easy.  However, more importantly is - the information contained therein. Roy's site makes no mention of his new babies, why not? I'm happy that someone is addressing marketing...

Joel, let's assume that I have no idea what the brands you are referring to are about. What's the first thing I do in this connected world?  Yip, I reach out to a search engine and go search for their website, or "google it" as some would say.  Their homepage is possibly my first impression of...
