    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    I think we all understand how loudspeakers can mess up good sound but can you explain, in detail, how our hearing can mess up good sound?

    Very strange, possible quantum entanglement issue between Roodepoort and New Jersey.

    Of course, when A = B, who can say which letter came first? Francois should know.

    Best way to repair tear speaker in rubber surround

    With respect, I would be careful with 'bicycle tyre glue' as this material contains solvent that softens rubber, a necessary step in gluing on repair patches. I think the Bostik latex fabric glue is a safer option. It also dries more slowly than bicycle glue, giving you more time to get your...

    Very strange, possible quantum entanglement issue between Roodepoort and New Jersey.

    I have heard from other sources that Francois is on the up and up. I suppose he would best know how a specific product is advertised on his website with words and images that are identical to the same product being advertised on the American Skyfi website.

    Very strange, possible quantum entanglement issue between Roodepoort and New Jersey.

    OK, I admit I do not understand quantum physics, in fact, I'm not sure physicists do either but maybe someone here on this forum can explain how two hifi businesses, thousands of kilometres apart, can claim to have the identical product simultaneously in their respective showrooms? The product...

    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    "Crap in= Crap passed on". You can also say, 'Good stuff in = Good stuff ruined', if you have mismatched/inappropriate/poor quality speakers.

    Age Census Update (poll)

    I'm past 70. In my early 60's, I decided that because of high frequency hearing loss (normal for age), I would no longer bother with hifi and sold my Pioneer stereo, Sony cassette deck, Kenwood CDP and home built speakers. Then the urge redeveloped and I discovered the magic of Audyssey and a 5...

    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    If I was searching for a new set of speakers, I will start with numbers and "statistics" as you call it, to reduce the vast range of choice. Frequency curves do matter. I will then take into account expert or, at the least, experienced reviewers' opinions, to narrow my field of choice further...

    Bentley acoustics RF-2 help

    I agree with running in the speakers. Give them at least 75 hours of playing time. You can do this by facing them close to each other, say 15 cms apart and playing music constantly, on a repeat setting for instance. Play relatively loud; soft music won't accomplish much. Don't bother to listen...

    Has anyone here had experience with any Audio note products? Kindly share your opinion.

    I found reference to AudionoteSA today, a business located in Sandton, unspecified location. This UK based company produces a wide range of equipment, which, according to their blurb, walks on water. So, how good are their products?

    Sonor Mercury Sub vs New SVS?

    The app is the control center for adjusting the subwoofer although you can fiddle with a control panel on the back of the subwoofer if you want to. Room measurement software is ideal but not all of us can afford the luxury of something that will only get occasional use. Bear I mind though that...

    Sonor Mercury Sub vs New SVS?

    I think you have made a good decision. I have the SVS SB1000 Pro and I assume you know that it is controllable and 'tunable' via your cell phone? It offers three tuning frequencies whereby you can raise or lower the volume at any chosen frequency and vary the bandwidth or Q of the chosen...

    Sony Service Centre for Blu-ray Player repair

    I'm sorry that my advice did not help you. I may have missed a step in the process. May I suggest that you do an extensive internet search. That is how I came across the solution. It would be about 5 years old by now. Don't restrict your search to a Sony player. I'm sorry my advice did not pan...

    How do I post pictures with a paragraph?

    As the title indicates. Is this simply a matter of attaching JPEG images?
