    JHB Cable Listening Experiment

    .....even with 10 Mio you cannot buy good taste, style or ethics. It remains "bling bling" only...and even the "gear at 20 Mio or more" might sound lousy - no matter what cables or frontend you use or how heavy your amps are. If you only consume - you are already lost. High End at this level is...

    JHB Cable Listening Experiment

    While this discussion became a "who can piss further" and who is having the longest" competition - I accept that due to my age I m glad if I dont drip and drop on my shoes and aging dicks do not getting prettier. Maybe my simple wisdom might inspire you not to waste your time, energy & money by...

    Cape Town High Fidelity Experience - 15 Oct 2022

    ...Stefan...whatever is too big or too heavy for you to carry back to "where there is no light and electricity" anymore... we can arrange nice demos in the Loft (I guess it ll take further 6 month that the Loft is ready to be on the market.... only a spontanous idea

    Cape Town High Fidelity Experience - 15 Oct 2022

    Oh what a surprise. I m not informed about this. Is it an Air event only? I can still offer some space in my Loft.... it will take a few more month to empty it and the space is great to demo. Only a suggestion from the side line. I ll save the date and hope I can be part of the event?

    Kef R3 & Rega Elicit-R

    The Elicit R is amp enough for the Kefs..... but might sound a bit on the "brighter or slightly harsher" side - IF the components around him do not match well. A Brio or Elex is more forgiving and the Elicit more demanding. Regas cables are extremly good for the money as well.... I will soon...

    Whats on the TT...

    I m (still) a great David Sylvian fan.... and had the pleasure to see him live in the early 80ies at the Philharmonie in Berlin. It was a magic concert... I m glad I have most Can and Holger Czukay albums in vinyl (from those years). The true story how CAN became a band was that Holger Czukay...

    New Turntable: Luphonic - Where function and design meet

    Its a monday...... one of these mondays - followed on a sunday with maybe too heavy food and too many drinks. You see something, you read a bit and you look at photos which do not making your day. Maybe nothing will make your day on such mondays. I still find the brandname ..lets call it funny...

    New Turntable: Luphonic - Where function and design meet

    Luphonic.... it starts with the brandname which sounds more like a chronic desease.....Doc: " Sorry..but you suffer from Luphonic and you may have only few month to live..." This will be a day fly which will not even find the smalles nische between the dominating brands as rega, project...

    The future of hifi in SA; is the industry running on empty or ?

    ....."there is nothing what you cant get somewhere a bit cheaper"....  you named Austria or Netherland with their relative low prices - but the real interesting sources to buy "really cheap" you seem still not knowing yet ;)    Maybe it is a little advantage to be "home" in Europes HiFi...

    The future of hifi in SA; is the industry running on empty or ?

    ..I would NOT take Austria as a Reference....in many cases austrian dealers getting supplied by the german Importer (as we supplied Austria with rega, Unison Research and others). More important is that Austria is a tiny little country where distances are short and all levels of logistics are...

    The future of hifi in SA; is the industry running on empty or ?

    grumpybear......yes you summed up some very valid points. Importing into SA is a very stressful adventure and I ve been more than once at a point to give up on this - only because everything is so unnessesary difficfult und extra expensive. Take this LOA ..its a nightmare and completely stupid...
