    Cape Town High Fidelity Experience - 15 Oct 2022

    Thanks all for a highly enjoyable event. Brought girlfriend along and she also really enjoyed the experience. What a great venue, and the gents who manned the rooms were all super nice and helpful. The Pylon Diamonds were the highlight for me. A/B tested with "Fever" by Elvis I preferred them...

    Cape Town High Fidelity Experience - 15 Oct 2022

    Hi @Air It would be great if playlists can be shared so we can give them a listen for a while at home before attending the event :cool: Hard to judge the difference sometimes when one is not familiar with the songs but being able to compare the rooms with ones reference system would be great!

    Dropped Speaker - Repairs Question

    So an unnamed family member dropped one of my bookshelves off its stand a while ago. The speaker (PSB Imagine XB) now has a slight white noise/scratchy sound coming from the tweeter on some frequencies (sounds like it's from the tweeter to my ears). What's my first point of call? Take to a...

    Oom Schalk

    @Schalk so glad to hear you're on the mend! You've been in my thoughts over the last week. Only dealt with you briefly over doing an HT bypass on my Predator, and what a gent you are! Take the needed time and come back with a bang! Groete, Francois

    Shipping from AliExpress to SA

    Hi all, Just wondering if there are 3rd party postage options or what guys are using on products from AliExpress with massive postage costs. Looking at an item which costs $40 but postage is $140  :thinking:

    iFi Zen Stream User Experience

    This ^^ Surely the biggest jump in SQ will be from a better DAC?

    iFi Zen Stream User Experience

    It's been done :) But a second test's feedback would be good. I'm considering upgrading the power supply on my node and saving for a Pontus II. https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,95751.30.html

    Iphone - Whatsapp backup issue

    I deleted Whatsapp yesterday during the outage and thought reinstalling it would perhaps fix the outage issue. In doing so I deleted my chat history, and my last iCloud update was Jan 2020. So, I've lost all my chats between then and now. Is there any other way of retrieving those messages?

    Bluesound Node 2i - Interesting observation

    One thing I don't get (and I might be missing something), is why would one need to use the Bluesound app for Tidal and/or Spotify when one can connect directly to the node through Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect who's interface is better anyway?

    Bluesound Node 2i - Interesting observation

    What is your system? :) The Node DAC (to my ears) sounds a lot better through my VA Predator than it did through my Denon 4500. I have yet to compare it to other DACs throught the Predator, wish we could do some gear testing through this forum with willing members, would be a fun exercise.

    Bluesound Node 2i - Interesting observation

    Lekker! I've yet to hear Maggies in real life, but they're supposed to sounds amazing through my VA Predator. Maybe one day :) Looking forward to your listening notes. Would be cool if you can share some of the songs you use and comments on those songs.
