    China: has brand China made any strides in the hifi market in SA?

    There can't be that many companies that keep spare parts going back decades. Maybe McIntosh, Bryston, Accuphase.

    Fast Track a sale by Upping the Price?

    I am sure this sale was an anomaly. My guess would be that it was more a case of fortuitous timing, where the bump in price happened to coincide with someone (who would probably have bought the item regardless) happened to see the ad for the first time. On occasion I have seen these price...

    Mac Mini (Late 2014)

    An SSD will definitely improve your overall experience. I have a late 2012 Mac Mini with an internal HDD. Even running a separate install from an external SSD (via Thunderbolt) is a lot faster. That said, the RAM being limited to 4GB is something you will have to keep in mind. (But should be...

    poor quality!

    Surprised that it's so much better than the Sony. I have the little brother of the Sony - TA-E86. NOS 12AX7 have become so expensive. I looked at Langrex in the UK, some nice tubes but it's still crazy $$$. (12AX7 SYLVANIA GREY PLATE NOS VALVE TUBE (LC29) - Langrex)

    What's wrong?

    Get out of the house. Go do something extremely dangerous. If you survive, you will appreciate your system again.

    How old does equiptment need to be in order to be considered vintage?

    Bitcoin Investment or Not

    It's all about the timing. My older brother got into Bitcoin very early. At one point he had over 50. This was long before the "value" went throught the roof. He sold everything before all that of course. Haha. I'd rather invest invest in Timeshare than Bitcoin. Much safer.

    Wristwatch,any love?

    Is that a Precisionist? I like any kind of smooth sweep on a watch. One day I'll get a Spring Drive. Let me know if you ever come across a good 2nd hand GS.
