    IFI NEO Stream

    I’m utterly irritated the price on Pro Signature is $3300. And no normal Pro. I so hope they start filling the gap from NEO at R17500 to pro! And honestly. Wish the pro was full size unit. I am writing to them about it. Can’t plug 14 different things into a 16x3cm space. 😡 Sound. Fff awesome. True

    I see we already have an update thread, than you! In short, they removed a tumor below his "mantelvlies". He went in for another operation today. I received a message from him this morning. He was offering me an incredible deal on something very personal to him to help pay for the operation...

    Schalk (Valve Audio) fund

    As I said in the General section, Schalk is in SERIOUS condition and needed another operation today (Sunday). I have managed to deposit more than 50% of the operation costs. His medical is completely depleted. Reason for the post: Schalk is a legend on the forum and has ALWAYS gone the extra...

    RIP

    I was showing some friends the restoration Oom Johan did on the Sansui AU111. I would say its the BEST, neatest and most amazing work I EVER seen. Old School, labelling, tie-ups with thin binding rope, ever corner in the same pattern. Took him months. His mind was like his work, exquisite. A...

    The future of hifi in SA; is the industry running on empty or ?

    I agree, some of the prices are stupid. I myself have LOTS of questions about soe prices. Stuff I wanted to buy for myself :-) But look at for instance Achim's prices on Gryphon! There is NO way you will get it cheaper from overseas. I have seen e-Piphany's prices on some kit too, BELOW...

    The future of hifi in SA; is the industry running on empty or ?

    I have tried to keep my selling price to dealers and clients as good as possible. Margins from my suppliers range from 30% to 50%....how I would loooove a 70% margin. What do I do about it ? Example:Take 50% on iFi products. I sell to dealers at 35% off, I make 15%. The dealer marks up 20-25% -...
