    Review Corner 🛋️

    I am so glad you never tried it Johan, you may not have sold it. I checked with Shige from Yamamoto and yes, it is no problem with 2A3 and I must admit it sounds great with 2A3's. Some references from the net: https://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=set&m=53250...

    Acoustic Arts - Croak takeover

    Yesterday I was soldering with some Cardas silver solder I bought from G and was thinking to myself, I had better look after it because next time I need some I will have to import it. So, this is awesome news! I wish both you and Michelle all the best and I will support you in any way I can...

    The Brand Dewaudio

    I agree fully with your sentiments. I wish more people would appreciate Dewalt's skills and buy his wonderful equipment. It is virtually impossible to make a living out of our small audio market in SA but if enough support him perhaps we can keep Dewalt doing what he is best at. It would be a...

This post has been a monster moaning session about the olden days and how much better the forum was and while I agree it was different, a lot more technical than it is these days, however, ......

    Remembering Chris Templer

    I miss him already! He is responsible for influencing a lot decisions I made in speakers. He was a clever, generous and enthusiastic man. Always gave you a cup of tea and the big red throne.

    Exogal Comet and Ion - Using calculus to determine sound, not steps.

    I think that is a great company, I while back I wanted to build myself a HiFi stand, after research I decided to build a copy of the Solid Steel stand, obviously to my own drawings and this was the result. It cost more than I thought but well worth the effort. The legs are solid 316L 50 mm...

    Guillaume Lemaire

    I am beyond shocked and saddened. He sent me a long message on Saturday and my wife and I chatted about him. He sounded so cheerful and happy, terrible news. Rest in peace big guy. Thinking of his wife and children, they must be devastated, I wish them strength during these horrible times.

    Can it pump so high?

    I have an old pool pump transferring from my rain tanks to my underground storage, I used 50 mm flexible hose from the pump it is reasonably priced and then you can test before you install permanent piping. If you keep the pump a maximum of say 300 mm above the river and prime the pump it will...
