So many wise words ... About R5500 for 2 x 5m lengths of silver-plated ribbon cable. Not expensive I thought

High-end turntable maker VPI Industries has announced its first Forever Series turntable spinner. Instead of having to invest in a brand new system when something better inevitably comes along, the Model One's modular components can be upgraded. Thanks to a steady rise in sales in recent years...

At the recent audio show, Stereomusicality was using 3 types of flat ribbon speaker cable Is there any specific difference between cables contained in a round PVC housing and these?

Many of the Mercury Living Presence recordings that date from 1959 - 1961 have been reissued on SACD. Likewise RCA Red Seal. Its not a better recording, but the company re-issuing these recordings quite rightly realised that to simply issue a CD would degrade the original sound, hence a SACD...

Very good video. I liked the different approach of some of the exhibitors

I have quite a few ripped SACDs, nearly all done with a modified Pioneer Blu-Ray player. A friend in Milnerton ripped more than 200 over several years. He had an automated system with a Mac but it was a 2-stage affair and took several hours. DVD-Audio was not so successful. But he was...

My amp provides a USB out for any signal fed in. So I assume that I would get the 176.4 KHz 24 bit signal, or even a DSD64. Is that correct? Copying that on a computer is easy

Good morning An expo was held recently at the hotel in Newlands. The hotel provided a dedicated wi-fi signal throughout the hotel for the 3-day event Exhibitors found that it was unuseable for their purpose which was streaming music. A dedicated streamer uses a phone or iPad for control...

Yes, the hotel wi-fi did not allow for inter-device traffic. In other words, you cannot connect a streamer and have an iPad or phone manage it. The only way to achieve this is to whitelist the MAC addresses of all components. The hotel is not geared for this Next time we will have an...

I agree 100% with Achim's remarks. The big issue is cost. A full-time event organiser will require a hefty fee. I do know a Cape Town based event organiser who operates on a freelance basis. There were several organisational omissions we made when dealing with exhibitors and these need be...

Tidal have a Family Subscription. Much cheaper if you share. No restrictions

Oh well, we tried. But exhibitor training is not part of the service. I'd expect though that since the sole aim of exhibitors is to sell something or generate interest in their product, they would behave accordingly I have a good idea who it was "eyed you up and down". I'm amazed he remains...

I think that some of the exhibitors were becoming a bit jaded by the final day. Its quite tiring sitting or standing in your demo room for hours on end. I didn't experience this at all, but 99% of the exhibitors know who I am so its a different kind of engagement for me. There were some...
