Made some seating changes to my listening room

Naks, I hope to meet you one day in person. You are a very persistent (in a good way ;)) and determined individual to have stuck it out with the T778 for so long. After mine gave up the ghost the second time I had it repaired and then I ran for the hills and got as far away from the NAD as I...

Most of Audeze's headphones are on the heavier side. You get used to it.

Smile 2 8/10 Naomi Scott is absolutely brilliant. Plenty of gore, horror and craziness but it does become a victim of its own success in the final third when the madness gets dialed up to 12 and satiny starts to unravel. Highly recommended for horror fans but you need to watch the first one...

Devialet is also battling to keep their head above water. https://startup-in-europe.com/2024/10/between-financial-crisis-and-repositioning-strategy-devialet-renegotiates-its-debt/ They designed one of the most groundbreaking amps in 2007 with the launch of the D-Premier (which evolved into the...

Depends on listening habits, type of content, the size of your room, whether you have a dedicated sub that is set to play the LFE etc. So many variables to consider. 80 W will definitely drive the speakers. Extra power does not always mean it will go louder, it just gives you more headroom for...

Enron, Lehman Bros, Toys R Us all assured customers and investors that it is business as usual. And closer to home: "Markus Jooste did attempt to calm investors during the tumultuous period leading up to the collapse of Steinhoff International. In August 2017, amidst growing concerns about...

I was at e-piphany this weekend and I saw they had a set of Bathys there and the B&W. They also do Sennheiser. Another option is the Audeze Maxwell. I have a set at home.

Cables are of course the best option. Wireless is not really "wireless" as the rear speaker still requires some form of power. An option is to use powered rear speakers and something like this...

and then there is Sierra Eagleson's version of Joni Mitchell's River it does not get much better than this

@Gramophone looks like you are a Coldplay fan. This is brother and sister duo, Chase and Sierra Eagleson's version of Viva la Vida.

Are you refering to this? Plenty of very creative art made with AI (MidJourney) Some of my favourites: "The intense backlash against Elvis Presley during his rise to fame can be likened to the current fears surrounding artificial intelligence, as both evoke a sense of cultural and...

So I managed to get Qobuz working here in SA and I now have both Tidal and Qobuz integrated into Roon. While I have not had enough time for a serious comparison what i have heard from Qobuz sounds sweet. Below is the Randy Crawford and Joe Sample album - it is only on Qobuz not on Tidal. I'm...

If you want to be close to the sea and don't mind the 90min or so drive from CPT to Hermanus, then the Marine Hotel Hermanus is a great option: https://www.themarinehotel.co.za/ Stunning views from there and you are right in the centre of Hermanus town if you like browsing through shops etc...

I can't find any confirmation of this online. Is this info in the public domain?

Trump has the personality of a very annoying garden snail, but his economic policies are actually quite sound and focussed on "America first". SA can learn from this. There is no way any working-class individual could vote for Harris. She is just clueless and most of the democrats are so far...

You mean something like this?: https://www.avforums.co.za/threads/great-service-from-audio-exchange.109298/#post-1177482 This is a thread for Francois on the forum's business AudioExchange.

I subscribe to a number of Youtube audio channels (Cinema, stereo and headfi). 99% of these channels have all become shills. I use them only to get info on build quality and functionality. "Word forms: shills countable noun [oft N for n] If you refer to someone as a shill, you mean that they...

In my 30+ years of owning hifi equipment, have only once encountered a piece of kit that made me regret the day I decided that I love music and audio equipment and that was the T778.
