Thanks, guess I'll give their HDMI cables a go. I wasn't jumping for joy at the quality of a UGreen USB C cable I bought the other day however after a month it's still going so there's that. My favourite cable brand apart from original Apple was always Kanex, but it seams they are hardly...

Hi all I'm looking for a decent brand of HDMI cable, any recommendations? I'm not looking to spend thousands or even hundreds, but also don't trust the typical sub R100 jobbies on Takealot, I'm just looking for something which does what it says on the tin, at least HDMI 2.0 around 1.5m long...

@Stereosane The 21st of February is my birthday and that's close enough to the end of February. #JustSaying

Because of reading some horror stories, I discussed this with my insurance in the past, even had some arguments with them around this. According to them I don't have to specify expensive audio gear and my 2-way radio gear for example, since it falls under household content automatically, as...

Must say, I pictured you more as a guy with a Hallicrafter and a long wire... LOL!

A few months ago when moving to the farm I turned on the radio again for the first time in years basically because I didn't have TV or internet yet. Conclusion was that most stations went seriously down hill, 2 or 3 days then I was gatvol and looked for another station. Must say it was mostly...

Hi all I don't currently have a smart TV and don't really want to upgrade just to get a smart TV, I'll rather put that money towards my audio setup. For the amount of TV I watch, my old Samsung is still doing just fine. I'm thinking of getting the new Apple TV 4k since I'm already deep in to...

Any news on local availability of the Pro? I see it's available on Amazon now.

That's some proper gear pron. While I appreciate that there are people in the world and apparently also in SA for who that amount of money is smallish change, I still got to ask. Where is the point of diminishing returns with how good a speaker sounds?

Have you received your shipment of the Pro yet?

You forgot, there was the choice between mono and stereo as well. I actually remember must have been early 2000's, my dad bought a new Sansui TV and there was actually still a choice between mono and built in stereo on that model for a difference of something silly like R300.

Hi all I've got a pare of KRK VXT 8 studio monitors from a previous life / career. They are still in excellent condition with very low hours, even though they are around 10 years old. I recently moved house and no longer require a audio setup warranting the VXT's at my computer, but I want to...

Sarel I want to go more or less the same route as you with the streamer and DAC, but think I'm going to wait for the WiiM Pro. Can you maybe give some more impressions on the Zen One Signature and where did you buy yours from? BTW I stream from Apple Music and I don't see that changing anytime...

If it comes in at around R3k, you can put my name on the list please. Was thinking of getting the Mini now, but I'll rather wait for the Pro even though I don't need all of its features right now.

Yup Fletcher Munson. Most people should be able to hear a 30 Hz frequency at 120 dB SPL, same with say 18 KHz, difference comes in if you play that same frequencies at say 80 dB, then a lot less would be able to hear them.

Thanks for all replies, I'm glad my opinions is not too far off from the norm, for a moment there I was scared of getting flaimed. So basically use common sense, beware of the BS, if it sounds good it is good, if not then don't buy it. Now a next question, are there any online shops where I can...

Hi all So I'm new to this audiofile world and need something explained please. The more I research and the deeper I dig, it seams there's one thing consistently popping up everyware. Super expensive cables whether speaker or or other cables, it's as if enthisis gets placed on expensive cables...

No idea, but as an alternative you can maybe take audio out of the Mac Mini in to your Yamaha via obtical if your amp has a obtical input.

The plan is to get something around 80 to 120W. I?m a rock and roll guy, so sorted in that dept. I?ll try find a place where I can have a listen at these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While research for the heart of this system is still on going, let's move over to speakers for a moment. Does anyone have opinions or experience with JBL Arena 170 or 180 floorstanders? I see they are quite well priced for the spec and size. I don't know about JBL consumer speakers, but when it...
