    Focal releases new $800 Bluetooth headset

    Interesting to hear epiphany becoming official distributors. Fingers crossed this means I'll be able to demo the Utopias so that I can cross that off of my bucket list since I'll never be able to afford them 😂

    Which one?

    Just to echo the above, I also moved from a 42" LG to a 55" OLED. To me at least the size increase appears alot more than you'd expect when watching, and I don't find myself wishing it was bigger, although if you have a large lounge where you sit quite far from the screen then I can understand...

    Focal Elex Vs Focal Clear vs HD660s vs HD800s

    Oh the headphones you've mentioned, I've got a pair of Clears, and have some experience with the hd800s and 660s that my brother owns. Have not heard the Elex. The Clear is really easy to drive, as well as the 660s, where's the HD800s require more juice, so keep that in mind in terms of your...

    Focal Elex Issues.

    Don't have any experience with the elex specifically, but I've got a pair of Clears, and they've been solid, no issues to speak of and I've had them for around 1.5 years or so. Worth noting that replacement pads from Focal are $$$, but you can get alternative ones from Dekoni for reasonable prices.

    Trustworthy solar system installers in CapeTown

    Hi all So I'm considering going the solar route with inverters, batteries etc. Was thinking a hybrid setup that will (hopefully) have my full power requirements being generated from the solar panels, and only switching to grid power when absolutely necessary. Can anyone recommend reliable and...

    Hi-Fi Headphones vs Bluetooth

    I've always wondered about the EQ vs Bit-perfect comparison in relation to "what the artist/producer intended", particularly when it comes to headphone usage. Since nearly all headphones have different FR tuning, is it even possible to get to what the producer intended in terms of playback? Is...

    Hifiman Sundara or Ananda...or?? For pairing with R2R

    SBAF is the complete antithesis of ASR though. That's like asking Liverpool supporters to give an honest take on the United team performance and vice versa lol.

    Buying a new TV in 2021 - any advice?

    I picked up the LG C1 earlier this month as most retailers had it on special (for the 55" version). The picture quality recently is amazing, and with all the features it's great for gaming as well. Would definitely recommend it, I just can't understand why the 65" version is more than double...

    Hi-Fi Headphones vs Bluetooth

    I can relate to your experience O.P. Over the past few years I've had a few headphones including Phillips X2's, Audeze Sines as well as Audeze LCD2C's, and currently the Focal Clears (open-back dynamic drivers) and Audeze Penrose, which are closed Bluetooth/WiFi gaming headphones. Granted, the...

    Quad ERA-1 - anyone in SA ever listened to one?

    Audeze Mobius/ Penrose are also solid alternatives as closed-back planars, unless the gamer aesthetic is off-putting, and comes in considerably cheaper. I can also vouch for the sound quality of the Penrose at least, and I also find them supremely comfortable although YMMV.

    55" OLED or 65" LED 4k TV?

    Just an update for those who may also be on the lookout for a new TV. I snagged the 55inch LG C1 Oled earlier today, and all that I can say is WOW!! The picture quality on this TV is astonishingly good, colours really do pop like crazy, especially with 4K Dolby Vision content on Netflix. The...

    55" OLED or 65" LED 4k TV?

    Thanks for the inputs gents. Moving the couch isn't a problem. And my 2 boys typically sit on the floor closer to the TV when watching in any case. Takealot currently has the C1 OLED for R23,999.00. Will see if there are any great "black November" type deals coming up that can beat that price...

    55" OLED or 65" LED 4k TV?

    Hi all So I've decided it's high time I look at an upgrade in the visual department after 10years. I've currently got a 42" LG TV thats still going strong and has served me well for both movies and gaming, but I think it's time to move to 4k in preparation for the PS5 console. Ideally I'd love...
