    Behringer A800 power amplifier

    I have been eying the Behringer A800 pro amp for use domestically. Specifications look just right for a home amp, apart from the aesthetics. I would like to know if anyone here uses this product.

    SL-1200 vs ChatGPT

    I had some fun with ChatGPT this morning, having read the comments in the other thread where @The Mod was asking about the SL-1200 (https://www.avforums.co.za/threads/sl1200-turntable-are-they-worth-it.110216/). If you have some time to waste, you might find it interesting...

    SARS! Now requiring MSDS for electronic components!

    We are getting ridiculous run-around form SARS. Our electronic components are stuck in customs because they are asking for an MSDS (material safety data sheet) for parts we are importing from Microchip. Fedex is no help. One would imagine that their agents can at least push back on behalf of...

    Old high-end TV disposal - any ideas?

    My BIL is about to replace an old Sony Wega 81cm CRT TV that was a beast in its day. Sadly, now it has a very dim tube. Everything else is working. I was just wondering if there is anyone who might be interested in it. Location is Cape Town.

    Central image challenge

    I came across this (IMO) very useful audio test video on YouTube. Now I have a challenge to all those who obsess with stereo imaging: play the part at 0:31 called Phantom Center Stability. You can try it with a good set of headphones and then on your room stereo. Your headphones should pass the...

    Blast from the past.

    OMW! I just happened upon the music system of my latter teen years! Having lived with a rather nice Blaupunkt 1000 music system for some years, which was effectively mine, I moved back to my mom's house at age 17 after my dad passed. Late night matric studying and Karl Kikillus on the radio, I...

    Adding a surge protector

    Not exactly a pure "Alternative Power" issue, but I reckon the folks who know are to be found here. My cousin wants me to connect a surge protector onto her DB. Apparently it's an insurance requirement. I had a look, and now have a doubt. The DB is full to capacity, so anything additional will...

    Late model refrigeration - questions

    Are modern fridges different from old-school types? I recently bought a side-by-side fridge/freezer from one of those scratch & dent outlets. The unit is visibly new with a declared defective icemaker. They had a few of these and I chose one that had the least scuffing, with the prospect of me...
