    The truth be told!!

    The old rule of spending 10% on cables is probably true for the first R20k and this should get you some reasonable cable and interconnects.  Thereafter the perecentage should decrease eg for R50k worth of kit you probably can still use your same cables that you had for your R20k outfit , only...

    Cannot find prices, I think its one of those scenarios if you have to ask you can't afford it - probably Nautilus territory or just under for the top model

You need a super fast connection and it should...

    Ultra HD Blu-ray available for orders

    the problem I have is that most of the 4k content that has come available is digitally remastered and kinda arbitrary e.g. Ghostbusters 2???  I do not think that the software industry has any intention in the near future to offer 4k as a standard because the truth is there is just simply not...

    Ultra HD Blu-ray available for orders

    i was one of the lucky few that only paid r30k for my 55" uhd after some paid R60k, but now you can get it for R16 and it will soon be obsolete., as ridiculous as it seems the industry is continuing to improve hardware with almost no software to support it.  The cart is pulling the horse
