Bernard, you know I also like the Rotel you have there  :thumbs: if you do not want to spend a lot of money, you can purchase a small stereo chip-amp which will run happily from a 5V power bank and run for days on a single charge. It should cost no more than a few hundred Rands if you already...

haha, yes that is true that not many hifi?s will work duringload shedding. I made a plan though which I?m happy with. There are many modern amps that will happily work off a trolley UPS, even high end amp like the 100W Bel Canto mono amps I recently used. I now use a low power ?chip amp? and...

I?m going to have a go at this from a different angle. If you like speakers as I?m sure you do, I would not necessarily go all gung-ho into head-fi and sell all your hifi stuff. I actually did that and went back to speakers. I still have headphones, but not the expensive ones that I had tried...

Maybe so theoretically, but I have found (quite by accident) that it sounds exceptionally good. YMMV Maybe try it and we talk again  :2thumbs:

Since you are stacking the two components, a very short cable from a reputable cable manufacturer could work wonders, but something like AQ Sky is super pricey (an IC cable which I hold in very high regard). If you do not want to spend a lot on a cable (and since you stack), you may want to...

Nice review and thanks for sharing. I love my ZEN DAC. Its really excellent as a standalone dac. I prefer the FIXED output setting using it as a source for my speaker system. If I may make a suggestion, I would advise you to upgrade the cable that comes with the ZEN DAC. Its not bad per s...

Phew, just made it in time. Hope you have a great last 30mins of your BD and a wondeful year ahead Eric.

Haha, thanks naughty . Your meal does sound very nice, but way to healthy for your ?last meal?.

Thanks Family_Dog there is quite a few of us around.  :shh:

I would like to thank Curlycat for his kind gift to me, namely his last of the beautiful headphone stands which he designed and created himself. I bought the 1st two (which I got at a discount if I remember correctly) and then he decided to send me the last one for free. I?m very happy with the...

Thanks so much Curlycat and thanks also for the awesome birthday present, it looks right at home with the other 2 stands I got from you. The one you gifted me has the Philips SHP895 hanging from if. I found good use for the short one too 😷😜

Convection ovens are a great extra to have in the kitchen. We have had an air fryer for more than a year now and it ads a new dimension to what can be done quick and easy. Warming pasties, crumbed chicken and fish straight from the freezer, chips, samoosas, mushrooms, etc. We use it a lot more...

Thanks fredeb its today. Made a snoek just now which turned out damn nice. Ooh, I?m also a huge fan of Karoo skaap tjops. Else namakwaland skaap tjops also great. Here?s that snoek

Haha Pax not to worry to much. What prompted my Post is that I received this here personally selected BD hamper from my thoughtful better half last night. I only had one Salami stick from this last night since it was after dinner, but if it was my ?last meal?, I would have happily finished the...

and maybe a 2l Coke to wash it all down. The genuine one, not the Diet, Lite or Zero.

Since I asked the question, I?ll go 1st. Mine would probably not be very extravagant or sophisticated. I think a kg of salami sticks will do it for me. No flossing afterward either 🤣🥴😵

Ok I was wondering, say you had somehow gotten yourself into a situation where you had to order your ?last meal? and you could order anything and not worry about your arteries and what your doctor said the last time you went for that uncomfortable checkup. What would you order? (Mods, please...

Mark, I have 2 of these bad boys and can really recommend it, the Plantronics Voyager UC B825 https://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Voyager-Bluetooth-202652-01-Cancelling/dp/B013F4LJTI It is bluetooth, but some kits come with the Windows USB Bluetooth dongle. The dongle isn?t needed if you are...

Sorry, I?ve changed my mind on my Piega Premium 5 speakers. They are staying  :Whoohoo:

Yes, it is the very same 2 speakers. Francois is kindly helping me market them. They are currently with me in St Helena Bay though.
