    Just a quick thought, everyone is now talking about moderation - The mods. I don't think thats a problem though.  I still think when it comes to a newbie, the more senior forumite needs to identify that and not get in an argument with fellow members as this now results in the newbie been a...

    Hoaxed? No. I'm not big into the whole "copy paste" and all that.  I read this topic and it came across to me that a few people seemed to have a certain opinion.  I don't follow all the posts so I don't even know what most the references are for.  What I was just pointing out, especially that I...

    As a newbie, I can honestly say that this is by no means a very welcoming forum.  I actually found alot of the first replies to be rather rude. I am a member on a few forums and have been for some eight years plus.  I have learnt to avoid the "keyboard warriors". But seriously, the chaps need...

    Oprah Lance Armstrong Interview.

    Well, I just won a thousand rand bet.  I always believed he had cheated. But on serious note, I have more respect for him now that he has confessed.  Yes, alittle late, but still confessed.  He has lost what was most important to him ( Seven titles ) Lets see what becomes of the man now. Lets...

    I ended up getting the Klipsch. Try Audio Excellence as well, they have quite a few brands. Nicely stacked next to one another, so it makes it rather interesting when trying to compare. I looked at the Polk, but didn't know at  the time where I could demo them.

    lichtenburg raceway track days - 18 & 19 january

    I still think one could make some good money in this province.  I have been to Roy Hesketh a few times but its just to rough and eats your tyres. Zwartkops is nice as well, but what a schlep for us in KZN to trek all the way up

    I had similar experience with Klipsch RF82's and PSB imageT6.  The Klipsch only had two drivers while the PSB had three and would appear to be a 'better' speaker.  The klipsch just sounded better, I had my wife with me and even she noted how much nicer they sounded than the PSB.  I was super...

    Cooling fans on amps???

    Thought I would it update this alittle.  Gave the whole system a good work out last night and today, with some minor adjustments - I just want to create a nice airflow around the amps - system sounded great and everything ran at very nice temperature levels. Nothing excessive.

    Cooling fans on amps???

    What I can say for sure is that when I have my preamp on top of my power amp, the amp gets considerably hotter. It really is that noticable.  I reckon spacers might work, I should experiment alittle

    Cooling fans on amps???

    This is exactly the reason why we have calculations that involve rands vs losses in transformers

    Cooling fans on amps???

    I can try answer that.  I recently reviewed a design on a certain power transformer and what I noticed is that nearly all designers use computer aided programmes.  What I mean by this is, the programme says you need so much area for cooling and certain size pipes and so on. Problem now comes...

    Cooling fans on amps???

    out of interest, the top of the DSTV decoder was over 50degC. This is my point, I work in the Electrical industry, although its heavy current, I have seen transformers "designed" to operate at certain temperatures and guess what, they ultimately fail.  Hence I believe that if one knew what an...
