    The Coffee Thread

    Get an aeropress, despite what has been said they are a huge step up from a French press, mine was getting worn out after 3 or 4 yrs daily use so I hauled out my French press, which hadn't been used once since the day I first got the aeropress, to see if I could ditch the aeropress and go back...

    People that advertise stuff and then do not communicate at all

    Gumtree is great, you just need patience with the flood of chancers and idiots that your ads will generate, a lot of patience.. As to guys not responding, not much you can do unfortunately, I don't know why they would do that but I've also noticed that happening from time to time.

    BidOrBuy Vendor

    Bidorbuy did an eBay "upgrade", used to be awesome 4% commission across the board, now it's up to 10% in some categories + 5% on the shipping amount. Though you can bypass their Bobpay eft thing(which allows them to sit with millions of sellers money in their bank accounts earning free interest)...

    How's this for a great story?

    Damn that's rough, few things feel worse than having to force gears till they grind. What vehicle was it?

    SpeakON cables and connectors

    I've never had issues with the clones but obviously they can never compete with the build quality of original Neutriks, expecting anything else would be foolish. But then again they are probably 1/5 or less of the price per connector. Clones are probably fine if you aren't going to be plugging...

    Power amplifier

    If you can only hear it when there's no music playing then probably not much of an issue, all amps make some residual hum or noise, monitor it though if it gets noticeably worse over time probably worth looking into.

    Speaker surrounds maintenance

    The mineral brake fluid doesn't attack paintwork and in many respects it's relatively mild stuff compared to Dot 4. Each hydraulic system uses different types of rubber in them so if you use Dot fluid in a system designed for mineral or vice versa the rubber seals in the system get destroyed...

    Speaker surrounds maintenance

    That's the mineral brake fluid used in some French vehicles, maybe that's what Andre is referring to as brake fluid? Most vehicles use Dot 4 brake fluid and the 2 are not compatible at all.

    what do you do if you see your stolen goods offered on this forum ?

    As far as I know you must have opened a police case for the original theft to be able to claim stolen goods back, which is why always opening a case of theft is useful even if you don't think the police will in fact investigate. Doing so is also a requirement for most insurance claims.

    No Name, No Shame...

    This is the only rule that works without fail every time, the gold standard that I expect from/with anyone I would have dealings with. It must be kept in mind that there is also the far out chance someone's account is compromised(due to them not looking after their login details) and then a...

    The Coffee Thread

    Best of the worst probably.. No instant can rival a half decent freshly ground bean brew.

    Fastest & most cost effective way to courier mail. (Germany)

    If it fits in a courier bag then use Aramex store to door at Pnp or Caltex garages, R99 no weight restriction and next day delivery anywhere in Sa, I've used it extensively and it's awesome. OP try DHL prepaid document bag, about the best I've found price wise and also service wise, available...

    The Coffee Thread

    Good beans and a good grinder should be first stop in anyone's coffee journey, that's a solid foundation that allows you to properly appreciate coffee and what makes a good cup from the get go. Good coffee properly ground will make great tasting coffee in any one of the basic manual coffee...

    Master enhancer audio improver - massage your sound

    At the very least snake oil advertising, the only EQ/sound expansion that ever works in my experience is subtle, they are making some pretty wild claims. I'm also not sure how they are managing to pack the processing power required to do the transparent and seamless transformation it's claimed...

    2006 Honda Jazz Gearbox Issue

    From past experience you could almost definitely import the ntn bearings yourself at a significant savings, even after paying for fast courier shipping and import duties. Try eBay and also there's a few very good automotive parts websites that stock almost every part for certain brands, often...

    Anybody in PE or Jeffey's bay that can assist

    I'm assuming you also need the person to pack them ready for the couriers to collect? Those don't look like small speakers and speakers are just about the worst audio component to ship safely.

    Battery driven 3.5V to 5V mini chip amp for speakers based on PAM8406 - my take

    Creative makes nice stuff and that's a great solution but the price not quite as nice! Really is good though, volume control knob(nothing worse than fiddling with switch based up/down volume controls) , Bluetooth, headphone amp, speaker amp, USB and optical digital inputs, sub line out. Just...

    MTN caught with their paws in the cookie jar

    That is underhand, just imagine the extra turnover, they say only 3% of customers are affects but I'm assuming it's more than that seeing most urban areas have Lte and the greatest concentration of users.
