If there is one reason why I might try different speakers (than 804 D2) or amp (than Predator), it would be to get fuller sound at lower levels. So I'm very interested in the feedback on this post. I also find it's better after adding a sub into the stereo mix (PV1D). THAT SAID... recently I...

wow, thanks for all the inputs. We have so many print shops around, it is an option. But I find that you often need to print stuff at odd hours (having kids in the house will do that). It seems the options are Epson or Brother inkjets, or just bite the bullet and go colour laser.

Hi, I'm hoping someone has done some homework on this. We've had a Canon Maxify MB2740 for some years now. It is the biggest piece of junk I have possibly ever owned in my life. I need something that can do occasional printing in both black and white and colour, and that can also scan...

The seller can choose their own conveyancer for the transfer, but the buyer's bank appoints the bond registration attorney. Bond originators can and do help thousands of clients secure the best deal on their home loan. You have nothing to lose, and it's a free service. And of course there are...

Enjoy the shopping for a different deck! And please share your impressions of the different decks as you go.

This is ultimately the best advice here... But there are also options aside from just switching out a beloved and very good deck: The tonearm is definitely an option, the Rega platter can still be upgraded to the acrylic (meaningful upgrade), and there might even by meaningful potential with a...

That's more or less in the ballpark. Could be higher, unlikely to be lower than 3.5%. Edit: Credible sources quote typical commission rates from 5.0-7.5%. As I thought, you're doing well if you've been quoted 3.5%.

Condolences for the passing of your dad. I am no room treatment expert, but I have lived through various iterations trying to balance audio joy with real world considerations. Just reading this post again, I think that power is the least of your issues right now - that's the stuff you tinker...

Tidal works really well for me to find new music. Between new albums and new tracks "recommended for me", I have discovered a lot of new music. Apple Music not so much - I just scroll through new release every Friday to double-check I didn't miss anything I might enjoy. To be fair to Apple, my...

I'm going to ask a very dumb question. Is the room correction applied to the analogue (RCA) outputs or the digital outputs? So does it also make a difference when you use the Wiim Pro only as a streamer (coax out into an external DAC)? And what does it mean for the vinyl/CD use case? If you...

Looks like this is the way to go. Although they list it as R799 for the top package with the sport. But it's still cheaper, and could be deactivated if not needed.

Hi, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. There is very little about this online, and even ChatGPT is not providing accurate answers. Our DSTV decoders keep failing, and I'm really sick and tired of their terrible user interface. Just about the only, only thing we watch on DSTV is a...

I suspect the designers wanted to preserve the upper case, the user just needs to apply their imagination to see an R and not an A. Maybe they can fix it with a firmware update.

It's actually Balance... the "A" is the only way for the display to make an "R". So you can set Left and Right volume differentially if you need to balance for whatever reason. That's a very good looking unit btw, enjoy! Used mine for years (running Mundorf caps and 6H30 tubes), it's such a...

Sent PM with Heinrich's details.

Courtesy of ChatGPT: Here’s what you need to know about 6-ohm vs. 8-ohm loads and their implications: Impact on Amplifiers: Power Output: 6-ohm speakers: These tend to draw more power from an amplifier compared to 8-ohm speakers. This is because the lower impedance allows more current to...

I think you can get incredible power amps used for far cheaper than a brand new amp (although nobody will judge if you decide to buy new!). A modern (i.e. "not vintage") power amp should still be in very good nick, and would already be through his burn-in phase. This one looks amazing, if...

It's not the watts that matter, as much as the control. Your Yamaha uses one transformer to control multiple channels and a complex digital circuit. So it is inherently optimized for a different use. AVRs are also fine-tuned for multi-channel soundtracks, not for stereo. A stereo setup, on the...
