    Hi-Fi Mafia

    This topic is now going in circles. Things were said in a very naive fashion and any attempts at backsies are being (rightly) rebuked. Think we all agree that some brands in SA are very highly priced compared to international, just so happens thats it not the two brands mentioned early on...

    Out of curiosity, what did the dealer say to you after 12 months of non delivery?

    Hi-Fi Mafia

    I have found that the brands with smaller footprints are able to offer very keen pricing, but those bigger brands like Denon and Marantz just seem to be so inflated. If its blamed on the cost of doing business, like having to have storage, warehouses, service centres, i would love to see the SA...

    Hi-Fi Mafia

    The motor vehicle market in SA is quickly showing sign of correction in new cars. Witness the number of established brands dealership closing. Unfortunately this leaves the second hand market, wide open to manipulation. Most SA consumers don't help themselves as well, with cars being seen as the...

    Hi-Fi Mafia

    I am curious. Have you never had any occasion to price something from Achim? If you have, have you not found it to your liking or ……? My experience, even prior to purchasing is that it would be nigh on impossible to meaningfully beat Achims pricing locally.

    Hi-Fi Mafia

    i have so many questions, because while i certainly dont understand brand value as well as a chief marketing officer, surely the questions asked above are self explanatory Are you upset that high brands who have spent hundreds to be able to charge thousands ( scale as you wish) are doing so...

    Valve audio expertise required

    With a lack of options available to you in EL, i am certain the exclame purchase you enquired at 21k about might be a good start. It should also be easy to resell (might need some time), should you feel the need to do. There might also be other member in EL not active here that could assist...

    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    KenMasters, what you are saying now is a bit different to to what you said earlier. I can copy and paste but on my phone, but you alluded to other components not having an influence on sound, but know you suggest that its possible? I dont agree with the word ******** being thrown around as a...

    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    So if i am understanding correctly, there is a camp that firmly believes that a pair of speakers sounds the same regardless of source and amplification? Ok, maybe not source. Is there any sort of peer reviewed paper(s) to validate this ? Or some other reputable source.
