And it is a 1.5 liter !!!

The Chinese will skewer these guys. Even a Jeep Gladiator - similarly priced - seems a better buy to me. Or A Jeep Grand Cherokee. You must really want it. If it was R700k - I it would be untouchable despite poor spec.

See the door below - it is from a 1983 Hilux. The Landruiser (in 2024) has the exact same handle. There are members here who weren't born back then. No R&D costs. I am quite baffled.

I am not really buying - but I am considering buying my very last car that will outlast me. Some Chinese cars give you 1 million kilometers (instead of asking R1million 😁) and some give as much as 10 years warranty. So, in terms of reliability - I don't think there is much of a difference...

Folks - my GWM Steed 5 is truly banged up and the itch is always there but I am NOT planning to buy a car. I am only asking because I am looking at the price of this car and it seems I can get two Chinese (I own a GWM so I am very familiar with Chinese) with far better equipment for the price...

Local site launched today - searching for audio shows they have a looong way to go.

I like to think Yamaha knew about all the issues associated with power supply and have included circuitry to deal with all of that built into the unit. They don't recommend a power conditioner for best results. So, I never considered it - but as an experiment - I would give it a go given...

In my previous life, some of my colleagues went to Qatar to negotiate a deal. In the room, the locals would talk to each other in Arabic, debate until they conclude then switch to English for our guys. Our guys switched to Afrikaans with each other until they reach a landing, right in front of...

I sometimes wonder why: Warrenty instead of Warranty Harmon Kardon instead of Harman Kardon Base instead of Bass (mispronounced perhaps)

I have one DSD album and placebo makes it sound better than FLAC. I cannot speak for those with proper gear though. They will be able to get the best out of the format - mine is pretty meh.

You might have heard, Wiim Ultra is coming. Time for an upgrade.

Maybe the SVS can take more punishment but bang for buck, that Klipsch is absolutely untouchable. Having listened to the smaller 12 inch which can go down to 16Hz !! I can just imagine what the 14 inch would do, let alone the 16 inch. @BiZKiT play this song on these subs...

Folks Am I missing something? R69.99 + R50 = R69.99. This is a headscratcher.

Sounds like that. Do enjoy it - although I don't really know the various acronyms but I assume it's areas where Qobuz is not available.. They have reserved a domain in RSA - so maybe they are planning to launch some time in the future.

There is also the issue of stuttering and VPN. Not sure if others have solved it. But some who have managed to get Qobuz running have found buffering issues with the stream regardless of their bandwidth, unless they use a VPN everytime they want to access the service.

I must have used Tidal's cost in dollars - your numbers look like the right numbers.

Converted to rand, Qobuz costs R379. The new pricing by Tidal - I am interested to see if the subscriber base of Tidal will be affected over time.

Kinda makes a bit pointless now to pay so much when Tidal has FLAC and a bigger library.

I can confirm that unplugging devices doesn't cut it. Back when I still used a DSTV decoder and a dish, lightning travelled down the dish to the decoder and friend everything connected via HDMI, all unplugged.

The chromecast app doesn't have the feature. But I do recall there was an issue with chromecast volume setting under developer options. I think it was designed like headphones (the limit to prevent ear damage) and you had to go in and increase it manually -especially if you connect chromecast...
