    Velleman pre amp - Anyone heard of it?

    Anyone had any experience of a Velleman pre amp? Belgian company that seems to make interesting looking valve amps. One for sale here in the fair cape..... https://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=9202

    Help with media player for non smart tv

    I use a Chromecast Ultra, and it streams Google (incl Youtube), Netflix, DStv, Deezer and Tidal. My only complaint is that with Netflix. It sometimes loads to 99% and stops. You have go out and try again. It has never buffered though, probably due to the ethernet connection?

    GECO AUDIO - vanguard power amp

    I have not read the thread properly (been busy elsewhere), but have scrolled back to see the pics.... absolutely lovely. Big heatsinks and toroidals, clearly handmade, enough to create major envy in even a technical cretin such as myself!

    Any ideas for a "side hustle"? I'm bored.

    Last I was in Parys, Afrikaans seemed the most warmly received. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

    It's the diversity we need

    Joke for the day

    I did it the other day on the calculator belonging to one of the cost controller ladies.... Is that HR calling?

    Classified section segregation - Good or Bad policy?

    Why would the pricing be any different for a secondhand piece of kit between a private seller and a trader (or whatever)? Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

    Classified section segregation - Good or Bad policy?

    But why would you want to exclude commercial members (or whatever) ? If you're looking for something to buy, does it matter who's selling it? Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

    Classified section segregation - Good or Bad policy?

    One needs to look at it from the buyers point of view. If you are looking for kit, does it matter who's selling it? If the price is right you will take it. You are much more likely to to miss something when it's split into three sections. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

    Advice on amp and head unit

    Just to add to the above, try and get a more powerful amp for the CM9's. I've tried them with smaller integrated amps and they don't cope with those speakers. Typically you want 100wpc or more. There are exceptions obviously... For instance Nad's are typically underrated in terms of power...

    Are french cars still shunned?

    I had a Kwid as a hire car a few weeks ago, terrible build quality and nasty by comparison to most others. Handling felt a bit dodge as well. Did not have one gauge o the dash, LCD speed and lights only. I often drive basic hire cars, so for the money I would recommend a demo/secondhand VW...

    RIP

    Apart from the great music, he was a great South African. A very brave man in a scary time. I hope it's not true, SA news is dodge at best.

    B&W 685

    I'm not sure where that denon sits in the range, but I've got a low end 540bt, and it's power output is pathetic compared to a basic marantz, yamaha or nad stereo amp. I've had a set of 685s on these. I only use it for TV, and it's fine for this. The higher range AVRs are obviously better...

    Nothing will rock your world more then bad news about your kids...

    It sounds weird, but it's actually almost better that this manifests itself when they are so young from our family experience. My wife's cousins son had the same at about two, and he's almost five now, and very happy and healthy. A dose of insulin for him is so normal he is unaware of it...
