Ahhh. Thanks for explaining. Do you not risk alienating potential new users that way?

Hmmm, further to the above, refreshed the thread and suddenly there we no ads...........

I like the new look and the move to more modern tech and the improved ease of use, but while I appreciate the ads are now there to help fund the site, sometime they heavily detract from the user experience. Case in point below where I could literally only see 1 post which to me at least is OTT -...

Sorry to wake up a bit of an old thread, but did you ever get this done @marantz123 ? Really curious about cost and performance? I sometimes have big angle grinders and pencil grinders that my guys knacker, but I've never found anywhere that it is cost effective to rewind. My experience with...

G'Day All, Can anyone advise where I might get mounting brackets in SA for small speakers that have provision for a 1/4" UNC mounting screw on the back (in this case Monitor Audio Monitor 50s)? I'm aware that Monitor Audio do quite a nice little unit themselves, but it is not really suited to...

Same issue here. Performance is erratic. Generally not an issue with hifi, but common on mqa. Always assumed it is related to the volume of data required for mqa, but still nowhere near the capacity of my 100mbps fibre and still nowhere near a Netflix 4k stream which will run 2x on my fibre...

Yep - too little too late. I didn't realise it was was an oldish thread. Glad you got sorted and the render looks good. I see the manufactured part had a few minor revisions/simplifications from the render  :)

Pretty nifty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omgbhGirTtY is also pretty cool - playing a fan

Very nice if you happy to pay the 'want it now tax' that goes with the latest and greatest. Since there is almost no 8k content available, probably better to wait for the price point to come down and the tech to get more polished. I always love the marketing pics that give to show you how...

Some tracks I can hears the difference, some I can't - In my experience, it depends on the the type of music, but to be sure, when you do, it isn't always a vast difference either. In my car 320kbps MP3 is fine - I haven't tried side by side testing but when playing a CD vs mp3s I've not...

Couple of questions: 1. Is your youngster using the full Autodesk manufacturing suite? If so, he should have 3DSmax - If he can use this, it would be better. 3DSmax supports GPU rendering, Inventor does not. (...

Although that is somewhat moot now I understand better, lot of the network streamers stream from a home network too i.e. NAS as well the internet. If the the Devialet is getting an upgrade soon (I assume this is firmware fix of some sort?) is it just not better to hang on a short while rather...

TP-Link N600? I assume the N600 refers to 300mbps each 2.4GHz and 5GHz (802.11n only) from a quick google of TP-Link models as opposed to an actual model number? Perhaps you give the actual model number? I would look a simple/cheap extender, but it will only offer 2.4GHz band - check the...

I confess I haven't read your previous threads, but given you have a NAS, isn't a networked DAC aka Network streamer a simpler solution? Pros: One box made for music Smaller foot print Possibly lower cost than USB DAC and laptop especially if you are planning more than a rudimentary laptop...

santoshlv426 Re 'I think you missed the point. Afrikaans music is very good.' - I did - reread and see my error. I was defending something that clearly didn't need it. That said, I don't think a lot of it is 'wow!' but it is going forward Interesting you making the comments you do. I thought...

A thought on Afrikaans music: In a culture that is much more sport than music orientated and a country which has a relatively low average income (making music equipment relatively expensive), it is a bit unfair to expect music that is at anywhere near the level of music coming to us...

I think the commercial focus of musical 'creativity' (and I use that word with a touch of reservation) has changed. 30+ years ago (especially 40+), there was more focus on the the artist creativity because you had limited tools (read instruments as well as engineering) at your disposal. Now...

Genelecs are good Another consideration is a Mackie HR824mk2. Not sure if you will get one in a single speaker that it appears you/your friend want

Had a look this morning - seems it will limp by for a while, but in the long term, I would expect the diaphragm to eventually fail again the same area. Have ordered the driver I found in the UK and get it sent to a relative over there. Still need to work out how to get it here without costing a...

Turns out its not Dunlop, not that it matter much, I suppose Managed to get the torn part of the cone fixed OK-ish - tuns out it was torn in fashion there was overlap, so I could simply glue together again. I have less faith in my repair of the diaphragm split. Going to let it dry, have a look...
