Well, this is what dealers do. They buy cars on an auction, mark up and resell to the public at a premium. But here we have dun* for brains people that go and pay retail at an auction. There is no guarantee or warranties. No assurance of history like mileage or servicing but these dum* people...

and now with the audio kit 🙂

My Jack Russell's/ Russell mixes

I am starting this post as a bit of a rant but also to school those people out there that don't know how to bid at an auction. AN AUCTION IS NOT A RETAIL STORE The aim is not to pay retail prices. You have retail outlets for this🤦🏾‍♂️ I have 2 stories to share in the recent 5 months. 1)...

Come now. This is amateur stuff. The FLAC file has to be generated from a CD. The only thing I upscale is my gin. If we are having that convo then yeah, I'm out but if it's same source generating a FLAC and then a 320kps that's a different story

Another topic but you're definitely joking. Flac vs 320kps. I could have a whole debate around this on another thread but there's is a difference and there's no doubt in my mind

You're joking right?

Thanks all. I purchased the amp knowing that it was fried. Paid a small fee for it knowing that if I couldn't repair it, it would make a good display piece. I had pieter from Kempton Park take a look at it and it's certifiably fried beyond repair. Maybe I'll use the gold connectors on my...

Amplifier is fried. Apparently struck by lightening. Question, how much would one expect to pay for those gold binding posts?

One of the most effective simple actions to take is to classify the number under fraud in True caller. It will label that number for all who have the app and prevent others from falling into the trap. The fraudster can change his number though but at least it's something to get him back with

Isn't that what one is testing for? The fact that the signal strength is louder I.e stronger means that the amp has to work less at amplifying the sound meaning truer reproduction of the sound from source. Maybe the problem here is that infinite technical is irrelevant to ultimately what your...

I have run a test that is a near perfect replication in both instances I.e cheap red, white rca cables and the mid range qed rcas. I can safely say that I did hear a difference. I think after a certain point it becomes a law of diminishing returns I.e the cost of the cables don't justify the...

I have recently purchased a rega P1 TT. I'm looking to match it up with a nice set of cables. 1) is phono the same as rca? 2) any recommendations on a good set of cables for this TT? my budget is R2k If it makes any difference, it will be connected to a rotel RA1570 integrated amp.

I still enjoy my CDs. I've been dabbling in a bit of ultra high def FLAC and they sound good - no doubt but the feeling of holding a CD, slotting it into the player just does it for me :-). Also just purchased a Rega P1. I want to keep a collection of around 20-30 of my favorites in this...

XLR trumps RCA any day If you're paying more than R2500 for a set of cables it's snake oil Most reviewers talking about finite deferences in components being reviewed is nonsense because unless they are replicating the exact components between tests and they have impeccable memories they are...

Bowers and wilkens bias because of its history in recording studios in the 80s/90s where legendary artists recorded their albums. Love the looks as well

Looking for someone to repair a devialet amp. Based in jhb

I'm based in the jhb area and I'm looking for someone to repair a high end digital amplifier. Amp is dead with no power at all

A family member visited this weekend and brought some CDs with him. These were mostly instrumental stuff bought from look&listen back in the 90s. Going through his disc's I noticed that a few of them displayed the "HDCD" sign on my rotel rcd1570.... And man did I hear a difference in the...
