You have done well.  :thumbs:

Nice Aaron, looking good. Hehe, so where did all the other kit go which was in that picture mere days ago?

The chair backs in the pictures are of the 2 visitor chairs at the opposite side of my desk. I am facing the speakers directly as normal and also sit centered for the best imaging.

Some good advice: don?t listen to chrisc . He dismisses any cable discussion with authority (and serious bias). Get hold of a decent set of speaker cables and decide for yourself - you can thank me later. If you are blessed with a decent set of ears, you will reap the benefits. Many...

Here is my current setup in my office, which is also where I do my primary music listening. This is the full music chain: FLAC files stored on my PC's SSD > JRiver Media Center 25 > Windows 10 on a ZOTAC ZBOX CI547 Nano silent pc (2TB SSD) > 5m USB Extension from USB3.1 port > Halide Designs...

I called the number just now (thanks) and chose option one. The lady that helped me asked me for the tracking number after I explained to her the problem I was experiencing. She then looked it up on their system and replied that my parcel has been cleared from customs just this morning and that...

I have the exact same issue with one that came through this past Friday evening  - no matter the platform, I tried everything. I replied to the email explaining the issue, but have heard nothing back as yet.

Sorry to be 'that guy', but the correct spelling is TERBODORE coffee. I have not tried the 'This is Africa' one yet, but may well try it the next time we order, thanks. We only buy online directly from Terbodore, here: https://www.terbodorecoffee.co.za/ Have been a Terbodore customer for many...

Congratulations on your iFi Zen purchases, I believe you will get lots of joy from it. It all comes down to what you hear (or don't hear) at your end-point, namely: your speakers or headphones. Unfortunately as possibly any audiophile will tell you, you need to compare to find what works best...

I totally agree Francois. The latest iPower X has really impressed me and I tested the 5V version that came with the Signature DAC on my chip amp. Nothing - no more interference noise. Pity there isn't a 18V version but 15V will also do. Just this afternoon I asked Amanda to confirm price and...

Do you have any issues running it off USB only? Why I'm asking is that I did not benefit from an external iPower 5V PS for the Zen Dac so I sold it again. I now have the Zen Dac Signature which comes with an upgraded version of the iPower (the iPower X) and decided to use it with the Zen Dac...

it makes sense, maybe I?ll go that route some day, but I only have passive speakers atm.

Thanks Timber_MG . :thinking: I did not expect such a positive reaction, but I'll take it  :Whoohoo: I posted this, since I can only imagine that all those janky wires (to quote Z) are other DIY'ers nightmare, same as mine. Here are the parts I purchased: This is the female connector for the...

I looked online to find a suitable power cord connector system with male/female that could work for any of my power tools. I have one Festool power tool with its own proprietary ?Plug-it? quick change system, but that would not work on other branded tools and anyway even if it could, the cost...

I registered at https://www.nationaloptout.org/ around 10 years ago and it works pretty ok. It will take you around 10 minutes to register and complete your details and also add all your numbers that you want excluded from any telemarketing. You can register directly here...

Francois just got in the new ifi ZEN Stream, announced here: https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,94986.0.html Manufacturer's site here: https://ifi-audio.com/products/zen-stream/ Looks like a very nice device for someone who just wants to 'plug and play'. I haven't gotten one yet, as I...

Eish mister G, you will be missed. We had a good laugh one day when he spelt his own name incorrectly. I addressed him as 'G' in my communications as it made things a lot easier. So G, may you rest in peace.

Oh thank god. R.I.P.

Around 4 years ago, ours dropped all the way to around 70 Volts and a lot of stuff did not work anymore, including LED lights. Amazingly, some stuff were still operating 'fine'. After I reported it, Eskom replaced the large transformer down the road. All good since then - touch wood.

Not sure what source you have for this statement. Mine is based on SARS's website: https://www.sars.gov.za/types-of-tax/transfer-duty/payment-rates/ From 23 Feb 2011 Transfer Duty is calculated the same for everyone, natural persons as well as entities like Trusts, Companies and Closed...
