    Imports: Scott's Shipping Services

    Does that also mean standalone li-ion batteries/cells? Scott can you also offer good rates to courier goods out of Sa/internationally?

    No many people if any do board level Mac repairs in Sa, I'd be interested to know if there are though. Obviously there will be more than a few that can do basics like lan/power/headphone jack repairs and the odd power cap but other than that not much.

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

    Wonder if using a higher voltage supply may lessen the pop or exacerbate it?

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

    It doesn't have anything to do with a connected source or using the volume switch to power it on, it makes the popping sound with no source connected and even if you use the volume switch to power on and then instantly increase the volume you will hear the pop, they haven't implemented any kind...

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

    Only makes the pop/screech if the amp is switched to on and at high volume(suppose 60-80%) and then you connect the power(plug cable into USB power) or if you switch it on and immediately to high volume does the same, otherwise works flawlessly. If you switch it on and then pause for a second or...

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

    I ordered one of these and it finally arrived. Incredible performance, I wouldn't say true 50Watts but plenty volume never the less, especially considering the tiny amount of power it draws, truly a feat of engineering. The trebles do seem a tad brittle but that could just be due to the lack of...

    Brits return.

    Harbeth do sound like few others and their unobtrusive look maybe adds to the experience in that you aren't distracted by the speaker asthetics. Though they do have some quite striking veneers and they exude an air of remarkable craftsmanship, they look like a very high end tool, no frivolity...

    Maybe he just pulled his head out of the sand? It does happen! [emoji6]

    When you mean VIN numbers not matching, the car's actual VIN not matching what's on the registration certificate?

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

    Found this amp just now, interesting because it has a 100W sub amp onboard and only R100 odd: TPA3116D2 2x 50W +100W 2.1 Channel Digital Subwoofer Power Amplifier Board http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPA3116D2-2x-50W-100W-2-1-Channel-Digital-Subwoofer-Power-Amplifier-Board-/311616288645

    The "Keylogger" can take screenshots, so not totally infallible.

    Fair price for Yamaha Z11 - Repair or not?

    Why does it get complicated if you take it back to the seller, you have the report from a respected technician indicating the condition?

    Fair price for Yamaha Z11 - Repair or not?

    Avrs are equivalent to 7 series BMW's 10yrs out of motorplan, same equivalent resale value and repair bills. Pay R80k for a mint looking R650k car then get a R100k quote to fix the suspension..

    Car audio components: recommended 4" speakers? suppliers?

    I don't see why not, I've seen the rubbish paper cone factory speakers many cars some with as stock last decades, a high quality hifi speaker should do even better.

    An early April fool's joke?

    I don't know what study you are referencing but I got my info from various New York Times articles that referenced studies that came to the conclusion that moderate useage of marijuana not mixed with tobacco or other products was not lung disease causing. There are of course many opinions on...

    An early April fool's joke?

    Interestingly moderate doobie usage apparently doesn't significantly increase your risk for lung cancer and other serious lung complications, for one it doesn't seem to have the same level of carcinogenic compounds as tobacco products do. Though often those that smoke the zol also pufff on...

    Anyone with R9,000 notes to clear ?

    R9k is hardly a lot of cash, in R200 notes it's not even a significant pile. Just withdraw it at the atm(maybe in 2 lots depending on the atmosphere withdrawal limits) to save on bank fees and be done with it.

    Contamination of Audio Equipment by di-Hydrogen Monoxide

    When the acid rain starts I bring my speakers and amp in from the garden [emoji14] Environmental contamination of various forms including naturally occurring salt air can damage hifi equipment, I'm assuming you'd have to live quite close to heavy industry/coal fired power plants to have...
