Curious the hear how much the performance has improved. Still running my Late 2012 quad-core Mac Mini with 16 gigs memory. Starting to show its age a little now.

V what power amp do you have?

Nice idea. But there's already a 'Freebies' section: https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/board,28.0.html

I can't wait for Qobuz to launch in South Africa so I can ditch Tidal.

I've switched to the lower 'HiFi' tier, but I still have some MQA albums in my library. I suspect that the switch-over might only happen at the end of the month? Not sure yet. Either way, I don't want a cent of my money to go to the MQA people.

2 x Maples for me please.

I immediately 'downgraded' so I can go MQA-free.

If what you're describing would put an end to your load shedding, then it's not boring at all.

48 Inch LG OLED C1 @ R17K. https://www.digitalexperience.co.za/product/lg-48-4k-self-lit-oled-with-nvidia-g-synch-hdmi-2-1-ai-thinq-tv-oled48c1pvb/ I know everyone likes to go as big as possible, but for an average size room, the 48 Inch model is plenty big. I'm very happy with this TV.

I have made peace with the fact that I have become a de facto amp collector. Mostly older, if not quite vintage amps. Copland CSA-14 Hybrid Integrated. Valvet E1 single-ended Class A Monos. Accuphase E-212. Besides really liking their sound (I rotate each of them into my main system at least...

Good point. Smart audiophiles know when to stop 'upgrading'. (I wish I were that smart.) Tarun's speakers - ProAc Response 1SC's - are very special indeed. I've always enjoyed listening to them. True classics imho. I'm not familiar with the REL sub or the Exposure amps, but I'm sure they're...

My journey was inspired by my older brother Hein. He's now a Canadian, and has been for 20 years or so. (One or two forum members actually knew him back then. Small world. But different story.) Once a week, we used to go up to the attic to listen to the Billboard Top 40 countdown (via Short...

To count as an audiophile, you have to: - Have at least 7 of one component category, eg. 7 amps, 7 pairs of speakers, 7 DACs or 7 record players. However, if you have 7 of everything, you're just a hoarder. Audiophiles have very specific weaknesses (disorders). - Make a loss on every component...

I had to import it. (Which I did when the Rand was a bit stronger.) Still, you only live once.
