    AV Equipment & Insurance

    I know I had some electrical surge cover added to my policy, I must double check the amount. I must also double check the ratings on my SPD's, if they're not 40kV then I must upgrade them I guess. My house is single phase though. I must maybe reach out to them again and just update everything...

    AV Equipment & Insurance

    So did you guys just ensure that the total cover is enough for the replacement value of all equipment or did you get an actual valuation and keep the valuation / submit it to insurance as proof of the value for incase there is any issue? I am currently with Santam, I believe they are decent and...

    AV Equipment & Insurance

    Soo, I am sure majority of people on this forum have their AV equipment covered under their household content insurance. However the price of equipment has increased quite significantly over the past couple of years and some items are no longer available etc. So I am wondering what you guys do...

    Dont fall for this scam!

    Yasis. This thread is TL;DR I do not care who imported my items, as long as they work and I can get a good deal on them. Business can be tough and when things get expensive the consumers generally look for ways to save a few bucks and if others are able to offer the same product at a better...

    House and Car insurance Premium Split

    I have my insurance split between Santam & Naked insurance. While I feel Santam are good and when I had to claim, the process was fairly simple and straight forward, I do feel their prices have been on the higher side at times. I have had to claim with Naked and had no problems either, so not...

    Vacuum cleaner recommendations

    So at work a couple of years back they had the Henry vacuum cleaner, it seemed to work really well and was on the quieter side which was great for an office. Around 2 years ago I purchased the Siemens Q5 Silent Extreme vacuum and I love it! You can extend the warranty on the motor to 10 years...

    Inverter blending power is upsetting the Smeg Hob

    Is the hob perhaps connected to the non-essentials output of the inverter?

    Loudness normalisation for window

    Exactly! Pretty much the same story with me, I get a look and sometimes an "Its loud" during the action scenes in movies and series and reaching for the remote to adjust the volume up and down the whole time is a bit ridiculous. Audio is going from a media PC to my MiniDSP via HDMI so not a...

    Loudness normalisation for window

    Hey all, So I'm hoping someone here is able to help me out. A lot of content on Netflix has some loud peaks and then the talking is rather soft. When I had an AVR it use to have a normalisation feature which was useful for these situations, although I no longer have one so am hoping there...

    Lithium batteries for alarm special

    So I'd like to get these for my Roll up garage door motors (Centurion RDO), the motors are 24v so I'd need 4 in total for both motors (2 motors, close to each other). However, they only charge at 300ma, so I'm wondering what the best way to get a slightly quicker charger would be. Ideally if I...

    Solar inverter & audio

    I think it will all depend on the equipment you are running and obviously the levels you're playing the music or watching at. Class D vs Class AB vs Class A would all affect the idle load. That goes for sub and speakers.

    Screws for drivers

    Do you have pictures of what the threads look like? I'd also be keen to see where one can find such screws for wood. Sent from my OnePlus 9RT 5G using Tapatalk

    Screws for drivers

    Those like like the "m" threaded screws, like m4 screws and not ones for wood. Sent from my OnePlus 9RT 5G using Tapatalk

    Decent RCA plugs locally?

    Makes even more sense to go this route then, especially if I'm going to DIY and solder them myself. Sent from my OnePlus 9RT 5G using Tapatalk

    Decent RCA plugs locally?

    I was going to get this: https://www.jaycor.co.za/product/rg59u-3g-hd-sdi-hi-flex/ Belden 1505F, but wondering about getting the Mogami 2497 and just being done with it for interconnects. I do have some Belden 1505F somewhere from a few years ago, but no clue where it is or where to start...

    Decent RCA plugs locally?

    Thanks, will speak to Max otherwise go for the Neutrik ones. Then get some Belden cable from Jaycor to complete it. Maybe try some cable from max too as a comparison. Sent from my OnePlus 9RT 5G using Tapatalk

    Decent RCA plugs locally?

    Hey all, So I'd like to make some RCA interconnects myself, although I now need to source some decent RCA plugs to terminate the cable with. What is available locally which is reasonable and won't break the bank? I'm not even sure where to start looking. I'd prefer plugs where I can solder...
