I've also lately had a bit of interest in a good set of speakers for desktop use. I spend a lot of time in my home office and my headphones are just not exciting me enough (and unless the ac is running, they are just too hot). My first thought have been to try active studio monitors as they...

It is in moments of emotional anguish like this that we can rely on KK to bring a beacon of hope along with old cows. I can even hear the song playing right now on my inner gramaphone: Should I stay or should I go, should I stay or should I go now... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Swifts are great little cars. Nice to drive around corners too. [emoji108] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I have to admit that I'm not convinced from an aesthetic pov about the Vivids. From every other pov though, I am. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

In my life I've discovered no more than a dozen or 2 artists that I really like and fewer that I really connect with. The AI playlists may help me find a few more I like, but that is the best I hope for. As to music being a loner activity, I guess that depends on your personality as much as...

I like the Juke. Its getting a bit long in the tooth now, having been on the market quite long though. But generally I seem to like cars like that. Far as possible from a VW/Audi/Merc/BMW with their amorphous multi-year look. Porsche is probably worst for that, but they are redeemed by the...

Go Jap. Mazda 3 should do well. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

They have a factory on the East Rand, at least they did by end 2016. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The more philosophical question may be if you can actually ever own music. [emoji3] Music companies have, for nearly ever,  played the role of streaming services, dictating what is available and, through distribution channels, limited access. High costs of physical media further limits...

Audio is certainly subjective...if you love the B&W house sound, nothing can compare. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Too good to miss. Will there be lamb, or just mutton? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Is Lesco or Crabtree made in SA? I know Crabtree has local manufacturing and is generally really good quality.

Funny old world - seems the Guptas gets blamed for everything. Gupta comes up whenever you have ANC cader deployment in action. The root cause is not the Guptas or Bell-Potinger or Eskom or corrupt officials. It's not even the ANC - they didn't put themselves in power for 25 years and counting...

I was also very happy to get out of wooden window frame maintenance. The problem with the varnish is that its much harder to redo if it was left for too long. My best results seemed to be with varnish that got oiled twice a year. Still a pain though. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

What use is the thick contacts when the actual electrical cable is only as thin as it is? For old and worn plugs, there may be a case that limited contact will somewhat be negated in high current situations, but should we really be drawing 16A from a domestic wall socket? I don't have an issue...

You're being too practical. :) The bigger tiles looks much more modern. From a practical pov, I suppose they will be easier to clean as well. The little tiles are just not cool any more.

Proves once again that I'm right to keep firm control of the bluetooth speaker at any braai.  ;D

I'm loving Sannie Fox on Youtube.  :groovy:

We have friends who live in Toronto. It certainly took them a while to get used to the cold. Their reaction to snow was very close to the joke where someone went from wonder to hate in 1 week of living with it. Seems a good safe place, if you don't mind the nanny mentality. Got to say...

I live in Australia and we get pushed a bit harder for cash. The Google family deal costs me AUD18. Tidal lossless for the family is going to be around AUD36 and Deezer doesn't offer a family HIFI option here. The single sub hifi option is AUD24. As I said though - with the gear I run - there...
