    Emotiva UMC-1 replacement

    I replaced my UMC1 with a Yamaha RX-A880, cheapest new AVR with pre-outs I could find. Very happy with the result.

    Dolby Atmos 4 height speakers?

    I suspect the question is: "If you could add two speakers (in an Atmos endowed system), would you add them on top or at the back?" I'd assume there is sufficient space. I'm also interested to hear member's opinion on making that choice.

    Used Volvo's: safe to buy?

    A couple of years ago I bought a 2008(?) S40 2.4 manual - bargain price (R60k), great cosmetic condition, FSH. From there I had it serviced by Revolve (Bellville) - cost around R40k p.a. to keep the darn thing running. Servicing was not overly expensive, I just had to replace virtually every...

    Please help me combine AV and stereo.

    HT passthrough is the only way to go - works like a charm. You will be very satisfied. I run Ayre Acoustics with cheap Yamaha AVR, all in the same space, all doing what they do best.

    Ethernet cables

    Such an exciting read, please don't stop or move the thread. So what ethernet cable should I buy to run between my $20 router and my Lumin D2? I'm currently using the yellow freebie that came with the router.

    Shuoer S12 Planar IEM - Anyone got em?

    Love to hear what you think of them. My 7Hz Timeless is sadly on it's way back to Linsoul - faulty left earpiece. I cannot wait to get them back. We liked them so much, my wife promptly ordered herself the $100 7Hz Salnotes. Half the price - 92% as nice. Her first purchase of anything remotely...

    AVR in Stereo Only - which is best

    With my limited experience, I've only ever owned one such product: Vincent SV382. Was not all that great a surround processor, but I though it would easily take on most stereo integrated amplifiers. Recently sold mine, as I had no use for it. I miss it every day. It was probably 96% as enjoyable...

    Budget wireless earphone options for cell phones

    List would be incomplete if you don't at least include something from the oBravo catalogue. https://www.audioconcierge.co.uk/portfolio/obravo-ra-c-cu-earphones/

    Sony WF-1000XM4

    A bit late, but I would not mind hearing if others experience the same... I had the XM3 and sold them after one or two uses. - Never felt comfortable for long, no matter how I fitted them. I absolutely love In Ears, had some excellent Sennheisers in the past - these sounded fantastic and I could...

    Lan to Wifi

    I got one of these - works like a charm - hidden on the back wall behind the Hi-Fi - don't even know it is there. Feeds Lumin D2 - no complaints. Now I just need a R5,000 Ethernet cable....  :winkwink...

    Whose Buying These ? Spare Change Anyone?

    If you are considering the purchase, perhaps check with juventino. I think he still wants to clear some Epiphany store credit.  :rubhands: https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,96017.0.html

    Onkyo 609 and Yamaha 1040

    Sell it. Perhaps a little off topic, but why stop there? Empty all the cupboards and gradually sell the stuff that you think you are keeping as back-up spares or might use again some day. You'd be amazed what people will buy on Facetube Marketplace. Don't expect to turn a profit. R1,000 cash for...

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    I'd be surprised if this is not your fix/issue. In my case it was a silly button on the magic remote - in a drawer, not used. No indication on-screen that it was selected. Their Tru-Motion seems to get better with newer generations. Good luck Charl

    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    Perhaps you flipped the 3D setting to ON? I accidentally did this with my LG and you get what looks like a blurr that seems a little worse on the outer edges. 3D OFF and everything should snap back into focus.

    Thanks guys, Looks like this is a recommended solution... for R500. Sounds like many have had success with this. https://www.takealot.com/tp-link-wa801n-300mbps-wireless-ap-support-passive-poe-2-fixed-a/PLID69524067

    Wireless Bridge

    Hello, - I am looking for advice on a topic covered before. Most posts I found are slightly older and wireless streaming seem more popular than ever. Some fresh ideas or devices perhaps? Or old ones - old tricks are the best tricks.  :) I need to connect a streamer (Ethernet only) to my home...

    I'd consider changing the direction the chairs are facing... (unless those are your rear speakers). ;)
