    Does LAN speed impact on picture quality

    Definitely! When streaming over Netflix (and sites like Youtube) the network algorithm takes client (i.e. you, the user) line speed into account and tries to serve you the highest quality video it can without buffering. If your network speed increases, Netflix detects that it can start serving...

    Murky Surround Sound

    I should clarify that I'm pretty happy with the sound now, except for possibly a slightly too loud centre channel, but I appreciate the help!

    Murky Surround Sound

    Directly below the TV. I still need to experiment some, +8 might have been overkill.

    Murky Surround Sound

    Thanks for everyone's inputs, I really appreciate it. I hate it when people ask questions without finally getting back with the eventual resolution, so I guess I need to bite the bullet 😁 I finally narrowed the problem down to 2 issues: Firstly, the TV audio settings were just plain wrong...

    Are Edifer as good as people say ?

    I've owned two of their products now. Back in 2020 I bought these for use as desktop speakers: S880DB I was incredibly underwhelmed. The sound seemed highly detailed, but there was an almost complete lack of bass and a brightness that got painful after a short while. I returned this and upgraded...

    DAC Options for VA + Bentley

    I'm very happy with my Dragonfly Red. What I really like is the portability factor. I can easily take it along in my laptop bag when leaving home for use with my headphones, which saves me from having to deal with the ham sandwich Dell uses for onboard sound. Those more experienced than me would...

    Introductions Thread

    Hi everyone! Discovered this forum by accident after looking for a NAD repairer in Cape Town and now I feel like I made an expensive mistake 😅 My current hi-fi gear is limited to a donated NAD-T751 with a pair of Mission 701's and an Wharfedale 10" sub. I recently discovered that the audio...

    NAD and other amp repairs in Cape Town

    Newbie here! Wanted to give a shout-out to Rendon Greeff mentioned above. The man managed to restore my malfunctioning NAD T-751 to it's former... err... adequacy... this week. Fast, good communication through-out, worth the cost at double the price.
