    Quad 303 restoration

    Why ever not, unless the 2k would react with the underlying surface(metal) which I highly doubt?

    Quad 303 restoration

    By 1K I'm assuming that means Duco, which is in many respects useless as a paint as its as durable as cheese. I'd get the colour matched in 2k and have them finished in 2K, the end result is going to look the same but be infinitely more durable.

    Quad 33 restoration

    Those steel tabs on the old pots are pretty durable, if carefully opened and closed they definitely shouldn't break off. You could probably open the tabs a few times if careful and they wouldn't break off.

    Quad 33 restoration

    Looking good, some very careful work being done there, that vintage plastic ain't the most robust.

    LF: Someone to test drive an Audi A3 in Bruma/Jhb, near Eastgate Mall

    That's also one of the TFSI engines that get the oil consumption issue and need an R80k engine rebuild, not something you want to buy without being 100% sure it's not a lemon.

    No more high fidelity for me

    Good point, if going digital a good DAC is a vital ingredient. From my experience just about any DAC recognized as a good quality audiophile device is normally sufficient, whereas the same can't be said of speakers, you really need something special for speakers to be mind blowing.

    Rip off prices - what do you think is crazy expensive - anything goes

    Why is the demand so high in Kimberly of all places? But I have noticed rentals have got insane just about all over Sa, where are the rentals still reasonable? What beach is that house behind?

    The Coffee Thread

    Only thing I can see a high quality metal burr doing better than ceramic is lasting longer, probably a lifetime or 2.

    New Car for Wife advice needed

    Mazda 2 or 3, look around what Honda's are going in your price range. Honda's are typically rather undervalued relative to Toyota but just as well built and reliable.

    Room to rent: Flamingo Vlei, Cape Town.

    What actually happens if you play hard ball with a defaulting tenant, like changing locks/switching off electricity or water, getting someone big to eject them from the premises? Will the police come knocking on your door?

    No more high fidelity for me

    All else being sufficient I've only ever found speakers and the room/setup the speakers are in to be a truly significant influence on the sound you hear. Unless the room is enormous and you want very high volumes, only then will the amp and other aspects make some noticeable difference to the...

    Indeed but the point they are making remains true.

    Question regarding dac/amp and PC gaming

    Get one of the higher end Asus sound cards that have built in high impedence headphone amps. Great cards and the best Windows os implementation I have seen for an audiophile level sound card, default multimedia volume controls and mute work on all keyboards and remotes, small thing but so handy.

    EFT payment delays

    That's not really FNB's fault, they specify when instant efts can be done to clear instantly and after those time frames it doesn't work, all banks have those restrictions with their instant efts. Part of it is to try prevent fraud, clandestine 2am transfers out of your account reflecting...

    No more high fidelity for me

    Once you stop chasing the dragon, realize after a certain point you are getting just about single digit enjoyment quality increases, then you go back just to enjoying ultra rich realistic music that stimulates your senses and massages the soul. Transport of choice + decent DAC(if transport...

    Credit Card Fraud- Suggestions?

    I'm assuming the fraud was a card not present transaction and no pin was used, if that is the case you'll get your money back. The petrol station that accepted the transaction probably has a cashier/attendant in collusion because virtually no merchants accept unsecured payments like that any...

    Klerksdorp Record Store..maybe

    Definitely sell online in conjunction with the shop, it means your target clientele becomes the whole country. Bidorbuy for one as has been mentioned, Gumtree and Olx also great for some things and even just to market the shop, keep it in the minds of the scroungers. I wouldn't use the Post...
