    CDT or CDP

    100% agreed. You'd have to buy a much higher end CDP before you'll hear much difference. Or buy a very good DAC, and use the Rotel as a transport.

    Martin Logan vs Dynaudio

    Sonor Audio and VA also make a supreme match. Well worth checking out.

    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    I agree with this. Even modest speakers can sometimes scale up a lot if the amplification and front-end improves a lot. I would also start at the front-end. But, before I did this, I would visit several dealers and listen to their systems and figure out what are my sound priorities. Different...

    70V line transformers

    Ok, here are some more details. They are 4-ohm/35V/50V/70V/100V transformers, and the rated at 240W at 4-ohm or 100V. I have attached pics of one (I have four).

    Are DIY subwoofers worth it???

    An f3 of 27 Hz for a woofer with an Fs of 22Hz. I still think a larger box will give much better extension.

    Are DIY subwoofers worth it???

    Awesome driver, but that kit box looks very small (see picture below). Unless you have the kit box already, I would suggest designing your own using WinISD, or asking an experienced member to do it for you. That kit was probably designed that small for better domestic acceptance (read WAF)...

    70V line transformers

    Good day everybody I have four large 70V line transformers, but I have no idea where to sell them, or what they are worth. Are there any members that work/trade in that space that can give me any information. Thanks, Deon

    16m in length! Is this possible?

    Try Tachii 4-core cable and cross-connect cables. This is what pros use on stage for long runs. Speak to Max at Design By Max.

    ATC SCM 150 ASL plus C6 SUB

    At that price, not many ZAfricans can reply, especially when shipping is included. Those who are able, could probably afford to fly over, buy the set, and fly it back.

    €19 999 = circa R380 000.

    1000w Car Amplifiers vs 1000W Home Amplifiers

    Sorry, yes, rated at 250W per channel at 4-ohm, but only 60W RMS per channel at 4-ohm.

    1000w Car Amplifiers vs 1000W Home Amplifiers

    Here are specs from a well-known brand 1000W 4-channel amplifier: Power output is rated at 250W per channel x 4, but 95W RMS per channel x 4. Car specs remind me of the ridiculous claims for mini hifis of the 90s, where you had small desktop sets rated at totally ridonkulous power outputs like...

    Can i use an EM81 tube in place for the old Em80 valve?

    A search for 'EM80 vs EM81' gave the following result: Although very close electrically, there is a visual difference in the display pattern. The 6BR5 & EM80 have two shadows while the 6DA5 & EM81 have only one (see the patterns section of this site). Other possible substitutes for the EM80...

    Luxman PD370

    Lucky, lucky man. But our brother is still sorely missed.

    Rega Planar3 vs Micro Seiki BL21

    Another option could be an old Lenco (L70 or L75). These are very tweakable decks, and respond very well to some tweaks. It would be a very different sound compared to you Rega, and they are relatively easily available.

    Supersonic T.L111L speakers

    Those look like Isophon drivers. They are good quality, so it's not a bad speaker at all.

    DIY Audio Stand

    Please reconsider the granite. Granite and marble are very resonant. Rather use slate.

    Manufacturer threatens lawsuit over negative review - DCS

    The Daily Son is the worst kind of rubbish, pandering the people who have little to no shame. Real tabloid trash. IMHO, of course.

    Manufacturer threatens lawsuit over negative review - DCS

    Simple. A distributor has three lines, Brand A, Brand B and Brand C. Brand A has from good to great products. Nothing earth-shaking, but good value for money and good sellers. Brand B is just stupendous. Really great stuff and superb sellers. Brand C is 💩, just 💩. Now, the distributor puts...
