    Musica is closing on 31 May 2021

    Checked out Mall of Africa musica yesterday and it was a waste.  They have a R20/cd section where there is utter rubbish and local stuff. There is another section with international music and I have noticed that the price stickers have another stuck on top.  All of a sudden these CDs are all...

    Musica is closing on 31 May 2021

    I'm going to miss browsing in these shops. Really enjoyed discovering new stuff and stumbling across stuff that I had forgotten.  I still collect cds and will never sell my collection.  There's something fulfilling about owning a physical disc along with the album art on book inserts. Musica...

    Which movie did you watch the most at the cinema

    Goldeneye.  Watched it like 9 times in the 90s after making a recording of it using 2 vhs machines. Loved the chick there but 25 years on i don't think she's that hot anymore :thinking:

    Fleetwood Mac- Sara

    Great band and unmistakable voice of Stevie nicks. I think dreams was their best but also take a listen to Landslide and gypsy.  Really great tracks.

    320kbps versus WAV

    I can definitely hear the difference between a wave and 320kbp file.  Recently discovered flac at around 800-900 kbps and I can even hear the difference between that and the 320kpbs. I think it depends on the system as well. On a cheap system whether home or mobile audio,  the differences will...

    Surround & Stereo in one - Possible??

    Yes,  my terminology is a bit off but I'm referring to the inputs on the back of the 1075.  I realise that I have been incorrectly running this amp for years with only one set of rca from the 4200 to the FRONT inputs of the amp whilst my speaker wiring is using all 4 channels to the towers. ...

    Surround & Stereo in one - Possible??

    "So the first question is, why do you want to use an integrated amp but still use the Rotel? With this scheme of yours, you can simply get a pre-amp which will be cheaper than an integrated amp." Want to run xlr between my CDP and the Integrated. I haven't researched rotel preamps with this...

    My friends, I was wrong, expensive cables matter a lot

    great video. I am in the market for a new set of interconnects and I see that his recommendation is one that is lower than 16 pf/ft which equates to 54 pf/m. Is this correct because if one looks at the QED range a graphite RCA pf is 115 pf/m which is way out from the recommendation. The...

    Surround & Stereo in one - Possible??

    I have a question around trying to achieve this with my existing system. I have a Denon 4200w that is feeding a Rotel 1075 power amp.  This is then wired using all 4 channels into 2 floor standers. My subs are running off the 4200w Question: If I get an stereo integrated rotel amp where I can...

    Marantz CD6005

    I have the above CD player but I find that it is very sensitive to the slightest of scratches on the cd surface.  The player refuses to play these parts of the CD.  I also have a Sony PS3 that has not complaints plying these same segments of the CD with no issues. Is this normal with the...

    Cleaning speakers

    What's a step from a 1075?

    I'm not saying they are currently sounding muddled.  That was just stating what i don't want from any suggested driver and amp that would be considered warm sounding.

    What's a step from a 1075?

    Thanks for all the feedback My focus is stereo.  The current sound is great but i want to be able to say that i have extracted the maximum audio quality from these 683s as possible.  I would want abit more loudness in the system as well. At 120w x2 x4 i feel that isn't the case. If the speakers...
