    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    There are two pieces of music I would not mind hearing; Cameron Carpenter "If you could read my mind" And a perhaps unusual remix of "Hoist the Colours" but the Schrotthagen Remix. It's a bit noisy but an interesting version from The Wellermen Thank you. These should pass your filters...

    Audio Extractor / Arc

    I don't have one but have helped people install them. You get the stereo pair and of course the volume is controlled by the TV's remote. So if you don't want any of the surround-sound signals that HDMI provides, it will work Make sure you can disable (or divert) TV sound from the TV...

    Is it a sculpture or is it an amp? Behold the underside of Emil's valve amplifier, which he completed specially for today's meeting late last night There was an original purpose of this meeting, and this was to evaluate the Fourier Acoustics Baobab speakers, but as soon as our member...

    The Air Vivace speakers - new to South Africa

    Well, I sat there for 45 minutes, listening to music selected by Stefan, which included tracks I hear at home I think I have a fairly good system at home with a LUMIN U2, dual Devialets and ML Electrostats. The Vivace speakers, coupled with a valve amp, performed very well in many musical...
