    No levy for solar users

    If only we could believe them.🤦‍♂️ How about allowing households and businesses that already have solar installations feed into the grid. There are thousands of installations that can feed into the grid right NOW. It won't end load shedding, but at least it'll help prevent stage 6 from happening...

    Service and repair of vintage Thorens & Sansui in Joburg?

    Send @fdlsys a PM for the TT, he might be able to help. I'd defintely recommend Nilam for the Sansui amp, he's a master with older amps. Done a few of my amps over the years and they've always come back better than ever. He's based in Bordeux, Randburg. Nilam: 011 789 8578

    AVR in Stereo Only - which is best

    Yup, it's really not bad at all. Although when I do listen to music through the AVR, I use Foobar2000 on my HTPC in WASAPI mode. This ensures that the PC doesn't do any processing or bit rate conversions to the source material, it's a straight bitstream to the AVR. I checked the circuit...

    AVR in Stereo Only - which is best

    Yup, I use my Onkyo AVR for casual listening in stereo mode, it also has a pure audio and direct mode. (Both the same really, just the pure audio mode switches off the display on the AVR). If I use the amp built into the AVR, the sound is acceptable for casual listening, certainly nothing...

    Subwoofer Advice

    Wow!! What a difference! Seriously impressive. (y) Getting 80dB at 8Hz is insane! They're gonna be killer with decent movie soundtracks. No, not jealous at all... ;)

    Disney+

    Subscribed 2 weeks ago and it's rubbish! A huge pity because the content is fantastic, just the quality is abysmal. No 5.1 or ATMOS, using the app on the TV as well as a web browser on the HTPC. Encoding must be at a very low bit rate, even though it's 1080p it looks horrible. Fortunately the...

    Don't whine, use wine!  ;D You're welcome to one of my Windows PCs if you want.

    Small PC UPS keeps switching off after 5 minutes ?

    :thumbs: Was going to suggest that, the beeping noise is enough to drive one around the bend, not to mention that it messes with your midrange chi.

    Screws for drivers

    ^^ This! Works really well, you can then use regular thread M2, M4 etc black hex bolts that Builders/Chamberlains sells

    Can someone Pls explain this to me...

    Sorry, I might have come across a bit aggresively there, it wasn't my intention. I've never owned or heard a Krell in the flesh, but they are one of the best amps out there so if it had some sort of filter on it, I'd be very disappointed. I like Emotiva amps, they're excellent bang-for-buck...

    Can someone Pls explain this to me...

    You have to push the Bentleys very hard to get the drivers to hit the grills. Most of the slapping sound comes from the grill material hitting the baffle by the port. A lot of air moves through the port when pushing the speakers hard, so that material moves a lot. To check, gently put your hand...

    Favourite movie of 2022 so far!

    I know certainly that most people here don't watch animations, but took my kids to see The Bad Guys the other day. It was really good, not the typical sing-a-long Disney type, a good action animation with lots of puns and jokes for the adults. Having said that, also really looking forward to...

    Is it okay to hang a Polk Audio RTI A3 by the power port?

    Yup, shouldn't be a problem. I have my RTi-6s hanging from the Power Ports. I just used regular philips screw type rawl bolts, but make sure they're long, I think mine are 70mm long...

    Help A Noob out (Onkyo TX-DS484)

    Hi Goon, Welcome to the forum.  :thumbs: Without a remote, making changes is gonna be rather tedious. Check the scale of the volume control, if it's in dB's (the display will show something like -50dB and go to a maximum of probably +10dB). 0dB is reference level, the loudness level that...

    Truncated or dithered - 24 bit audio into 16 bit DAC

    Yup, most studios use dithering when down converting, but, I'd say try both, see which sounds best to your ears.
