    Desktop Speakers

    In addition to some of the good options already mentioned, you could also try and find a 2nd hand pair of these Q Acoustics 7000LR speakers. Very thin profile, nice balanced sound. Very happy with them. You can drive them with a small chip amp - these are also for sale on the forum from time...

    QUAD QC 24 TUBE

    TBH I'd be surprised if you found one locally. But good luck, you never know. Certainly doesn't appear to be a rare tube, just rarely used perhaps. https://www.langrex.co.uk/products/6111wa-jan-philips-ecg-nos-boxed-valve-tube/

    Low Ball Offers

    You're looking for the answer from a rational, logical POV. Whereas it's an emotional reaction that we're talking about. I also find low ball offers annoying. What it feels like is similar to: - when a drunk person you don't know asks you to buy them a beer, or - when a plumber charges you R800...

    The real value of SA Audio

    Hi Joel. I really applaud what you're doing with the Show. Not just in terms of the SA audio industry, but also in terms of the economy in general. Local production, in any industry, has to be considered a good thing, especially in these turmolic times. I've also directly supported several...

    Affordable Valve integrated - MUZISHARE X7 KT88

    Seems fairly similar to Cayin (not a bad thing). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIl3BtdonRI I've also read that Muzishare is made in the same factory as Line Magnetic, but I can't confirm that to be true.

    Question for LG OLED TV Owners

    Thank you Ken. That's good to know. I think I'll go with the C1 then. (I was also considering the Samsung QN90A NeoQLED, but it only has one HDMI 2.1 input, and it's more expensive too. Both seem to have excellent picture quality. The Samsung imho has a nicer stand design though.)

    Question for LG OLED TV Owners

    Hi there. I've been looking into LG OLED now that I have an Xbox Series X to play with. However I'm concerned that they're bringing a hobbled C range model into the country. On both the 48 and 55 inch models of the C1 range available here ( OLED48C1PVB & OLED55C1PVB ) the Refresh Rate is...

    Debunked! MQA is bad, and misleading you!

    If there was ever a case of a solution in search of a problem, MQA is it.

    Hi Reshen. 1. Does this mean you can also bring in Burson's discrete op-amps? 2. Can you also bring in any of the Kinki Studio products? Thx, n

    75ohm for digital co-ax, 50 ohm for analogue signals

    The Canare RCAP plugs are supposed to be true 75 Ohm. If it matters. https://www.bluejeanscable.com/pages/technicaldocs/canarercap.pdf I have a few solid-conductor Belden 1694A and multi-stranded 1505F (Flexible) cables terminated with either BNC/BNC or BNC/RCA Canare plugs. They work...

    Do Amplifiers impart a sonic signature to music

    Some words that were written about some of this stuff, by John Curl: https://web.archive.org/web/20131110011700/http://www.q-audio.com/johncurl.pdf Not saying that he's right or wrong. Just that he wrote the words.
