    CDs

    On the topic of listening rooms. I for one can't go this route. For me the hifi is a piece of equipment that has to be apart of the home and all it's events. Whether it be cooking and chatting with my wife or friends, the hifi and music needs to be apart of that. The listening room is just too...

    CDs

    I still love cds and have around 500 atm. The issue i find is that if they are not kept in a cabinet, dust tends to settle on them and when the jewel cares are wiped you end up with a lot of scuff marks. The cabinets help but it's not as bad as packing them on a shelf

    Who is using the hifi in the house?

    My wife refuses to use the system despite me wanting her to. She's much too simple with audio quality to care much for it. I bought her a turntable for 9k that is just accumulating dust. She's adamant that she will use it when I want to sell it. It's now almost 2 years and she has never touched...

    CDT or CDP

    Hi all I'm looking at getting a good cdp for my system and can't decide which way to do on this one. It's a stereo system driven by rotel ra1592 and bowers 702 s2. I've read a allot of top reviews on the audiolab 9000cdt and I really like the look. The current player is the rotel rcd 1570. I'm...

    2025...maybe the end of B&W, Polk, Denon, Marantz and Definitive Technology

    Ok, this claim is a much ado about nothing. Discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective is a term used for when a corporation wants to sell off an operation in part or as a whole. Someone interpret this wrong.

    2025...maybe the end of B&W, Polk, Denon, Marantz and Definitive Technology

    Don't care for the others but B&W and Marantz, oh hell no. These are brands with invaluable heritage behind them and then these idiots just destroy all that in a couple years. Someone should call the cops on these poor excuses for business men. Really sad

    Dont fall for this scam!

    Does the landed cost of imports come in cheaper than local prices and it's this comparison inclusive of customs and duties? That is ridiculous and definitely smacks of something being amiss with the economics of the industry. Btw, where the best places to import from. Looking for some upgrades

    Please be careful on marketplace!

    These guys are becoming more elaborate with these scams. That's why when I sell something it's on my terms. No stories about going out anywhere and no payment terms. I have them collect from home and pay cash. My 9mm waiting not too far away. If **** went down at my house, the patrolling guards...

    Any worthwhile Black Friday deals in November 2023?

    Be careful guys. I have caught suppliers increasing their prices a month before only to discount them to normal process on black friday. Always run a price check

    CD's sales make first comeback in more than 20y

    I thought I would share this because I still have a good size cd collection that I listen to often. I grew up in the cassette era but my teenage years was at the peak of the cd age. https://techcentral.co.za/forget-vinyl-cds-are-making-a-comeback/233886/

    Dangerous times.

    Watching Al Jazeera just now and reports are that Egyptian intelligence informed Netanyahu's government of the attack by nothing was done. Why it's this? From a man who is now acting in excess because of the loss of Israeli lives this is very strange. It is noted that he is on the ropes...

    Dangerous times.

    So many issues with the above post but I'm going to refrain from an elaborate response. My heritage is India and that is a billion plus people that live in harmony across religions. And you want to know why? It's because there is no superiority complex. People live in harmony when I see my...

    The reporting of the conflict is also biased. CNN/BBC don't show the plight of the Palestinians but instead cover pro Isreali news. Al Jazeera seems to be balanced. The propaganda machine is truly on motion.
