    Valve Audio Predator - Speaker Pairing

    So the predator is new as are the speakers? Or the speakers you had in your system before and didn’t sound “boring” with your old pre/power?

    Valve Audio Predator - Speaker Pairing

    Interesting…what was the reason you decided to get the Predator to replace NAD216? What was the preamp? I’m certain that the amp will sell quickly if put back in the open market (@DarrenHolmes01 may be looking for one to feed his newly purchased Dyn Audios) But I’m interested to hear what made...

    Martin Logan vs Dynaudio

    OP, it seems like you are trying to find a way with many options to consider & potentially cause confusion or chatter within. Here are a few things to consider and my 2c: “being safe around a 2 year old”, I have a now 3.5 year old in my house, my system is in a living room/open plan kitchen, my...

    Big acoustic problem

    Moving to a method of “silent classes” where all students where headphones & the lecturer talks into a lapel mic broadcast directly to them could work. If have used this with success in seminar theatres on the floors of busy exhibitions. Attendees get good sound with noise from outside blocked...

    Help me choose a TT please

    Id looking at an audio technica, I haven’t heard this model. But personally I’d look at increasing budget and instead look at this (a clone of the technics SL1200, albeit ridiculously overpriced here: https://www.mrvinyl.co.za/shop/audio-technica-at-lp120xbt-usb-turntable/) available for R2000...

    Dreading renewal of Driver's Licence and Passport (Jhb) - advice, hints & tips?

    I have an appoint at midrand DLTC on Dale road in Glen Austin at 12:50. Although I’m unsure if I should rather not just walk into waterfall at the same time without an appointment Due to time constraints I was I able to get an appoint ent at waterfall that coincided with diary availability

    Roon Alternatives

    So just managed to install audirvana after multiple attempts at proving I was infact not a robot (I ended up having to do it on my phone) Am waiting for it to sync all my music. My setup is the limitation, as I can play to the Wiim pro plus and then into my Cambridge Audio DAC, directly from...

    Roon Alternatives

    Am I being slow, or does Audirvana play to Wiim or Cambridge audio or Raspberry Pi ? As on their site neither device is listed as certified Which puts it out for me, meaning Roon will continue Reading through some of the comments on the audit and community saying you’d connect like upnp

    Interesting facts about warranty on Denon & Marantz

    It certainly is! As above Venter tax …another monopoly/oligarchy BUT supply and demand…when you own the supply lock, stock & barrel, you also control the demand…and last I looked, there is no end to the demand in sight… not a day goes by when driving on our roads I don’t count at least 10...

    Interesting facts about warranty on Denon & Marantz

    It’s an additional income line. They are the only ones allowed to sell on 2nd hand Porsches (or rather want to ensure they are, and generate income from it), when they do it (they buy back your Porsche, you then buy another & they sell yours on with the warranty & plans in tact) , so it costs...

    Interesting facts about warranty on Denon & Marantz

    I would assume that in the case of having purchased an amp, and it being 4 months old & then selling it, I would give the purchased original receipt / proof of purchase as that is what the warranty attached to? Or is the warranty attached to my name as an individual? The only company I know...

    Dont fall for this scam!

    And this is what I was saying. Any video made on his channel is not, objective, independent at least it doesn’t come across that way, they just come across like brand shilling (eventually your credibility evaporates) Also a question I always ask is did the reviewer buy the items or have they...

    DAC repair

    Does anyone have any idea where I can purchase a Wolfson wm8751 DAC chip from? As manufacturer has confirmed the DAC chip needs to be replaced & will assist in guiding local tech to replace it (saving me having to send it to Israel & back)

    Dont fall for this scam!

    I clearly don’t understand either, but the whole system smacks of profiteering of the highest order…granted as noted earlier that resellers are not driving around in Ferraris. But it’s the ONLY industry I’ve ever seen where there is ZERO price movement or “play” through different...
