Hi there I have a Vogels PPC 2585 for sale in the for sale section if you’re interested. Alastair

Hi all I’m looking for the following remote for a friend. Any idea where in the Centurion area (or surrounds) I might pick one up? Alastair

Hi guys Times are tough out there and people are struggling. Are we allowed to promote fellow forum members businesses so that our community can support one another? For the record I personally do NOT have a business so this is not a self-promoting exercise. I just thought it would be a nice...

Hi all I’m trying to help a friend set up his older Rotel equipment that he bought in the US decades ago. Everything is set up correctly I believe but I’m now starting to get the protection leds coming on on the power amp and a cd player that gives me an “error” message. These sort of things...

Awesome, thank you. I’ll see what I can find. Alastair

Oh ok. I didn’t know that. So what issues am I going to run into if I were to go this route? Energy efficiency isn’t critical as I run a large solar installation at home and produce a little more than I need currently. What else is a challenge? I’m assuming that I’m not going to find more...

Hi Ken You say I should look for one with the “pre-amp mode” feature. The one I’m looking at seems to have 11.2 pre-outs on the back. Is this what you mean or am I missing something? Alastair

Hi Ken I’ve seen a Denon AVR X-4300H that I was considering that seems to meet my criteria. Any thoughts on this? Alastair

Hi all Wow. Lots of great feedback. Thank you. To answer a few questions. Yes, this is just a stopgap. Too many kids at varsity to allow a “proper” purchase, so the budget is limited for now. Also recently unemployed, so I’m totally open to 2nd hand. That was actually what I was expecting. It’s...

Hi all The last remaining piece for me to go Atmos and 4K is a suitable processor/receiver. I have power amps to drive the 7.1.4 setup I’m planning to move to so either a processor or receiver will do. Any suggestions as to what I should go for with a budget of around R10k? Alastair

Hi all I offered to help a friend set up his old mostly Rotel system when he moved it from one room to another. What I had forgotten is that he bought most of his equipment in the US when he lived there many years ago. So most, but not all, of his equipment has the US plugs and are also 120V...

Hi all I’m hoping to add to my collection over the coming months and we’re keen to hear where people are currently buying their 4K movies from (yes, there are still a few of us into our physical media). Have any of you imported from some of the international sites? If so, which ones worked...

Problem solved. Mods please lock.

Hi there Some of you may have seen that I have a set of Vivid K1's for sale on here. I have a potential buyer in Cape Town but I am in Centurion so a demo isn't possible. Is there any kind forum member on here in the CT area who owns a set of K1s that would be willing to let this guy come and...

Hi Chingy Just a minor correction there, but the Vivids I am selling are the K1's not the B1's. The K1's were the top of the range speakers from Vivid Audio before the Giya range were launched, if Im not mistaken. Alastair

Hi Blight The full system (listed above) is now up for sale in the AV items for sale section. Alastair

I also try use eBay as something to help guide the prices as well. They usually have a few of the same item as well so that you are not looking at a sample of 1. Alastair

I actually don't know the answer to that question as I have not asked them before. But just to illustrate what a bargain these guys are for R80k (around R130k maybe less with a full refurb and replacing both drivers and tweeters with the newer better protected ones) , have look at the K1's...

Thanks Alleycat Kind words indeed. Hopefully someone will be blessed with these soon. Alastair

Hi Drifter If only. I would love to keep these, absolutely love it. But with 3 kids in varsity and coming off 3 months unemployed, Im just not vaguely in the financial position to do so. At least Ill have owned this pair, even if only for a very short time. Alastair
