I've done thorough tests with all settings and sources, the colour performance and local dimming are very bad, as is the back-light strength, reminds me of my first LCD more than a decade ago Any attempt to increase the colour makes the image saturated and unwatchable, lowering the brightness...

So I recently got one of these, the 75in model, I'm pretty surprised at the performance...poor that is Either I have a defective unit, which I doubt, or it's a case of marketing fluff and this TV shouldn't be sold anywhere near it's price point Anyone have experience with these models?

TLDR: I thought they were great but it seems more and more like a scheme, order with caution -So the first time I ordered from Gearbest it was an expensive order, close to R10k, no issues, shipped fast, finally I had Chinese store I could rely on with fast shipping at an affordable rate. -The...

:BWAHAHAH: Please, hifi equipment only, I can't contaminate the box...unless there's er...some compensation :pleasant:

Oh...internal dimensions of the crate WxDxH 46x46x26 Ideally it would be smaller than the amp I'm receiving as I'm sending padding along too Depth - 445mm Width - 440mm Height - 220mm

So I built a crate that I'll be sending to Capetown on Monday, it's going there empty and coming back with an amp I bought. Since it's going there empty, I'm open to the idea of someone in need, of transporting something safely from Jhb to Capetown, making use of it. Cost to the user will be...

Tweeter looks like this: "Does not affect the sound at all"

Subwoofers placed on/in tv stands  :facepalm: 6x9's, all rubbish coaxials actually, bar the higher end concentric tweeter-midrange units Speakers smashed in corners, facing forward and parallel to each other (not design intended) because they sound "nice and clear"

Thanks Guys  :2thumbs: They are OEM NAD ears I believe, snippet from the NAD archive: They are indeed removable, they use the same 2 case screws on either side of the unit, I will just have them repainted and see what looks best, I think they'll stay unless it has some other silver face...

Thankfully I went and picked it up, one fall would have ruined the chassis, it was actually cardboard wrapped however thats not adequate for me. Here you have it, not the Bose (he wants R9500 btw), not the Carver, good guess though and not a Rotel, spot on christowp , a brushed aluminium...

It looks as dodgey as you'd expect, the place is upstairs and down the hall, pretty small shop, didn't look around at the other shops. Yeah I dealt with Eric, he owns the place. I called a few minutes after the ad went up, paid via eft and asked him to remove the ad which he did immediately, he...

Thanks guys, it's was a smooth pickup, that part of town feels safe enough, as mentioned just don't do stupid things or you're asking for trouble, all the suggestions were much appreciated. Unpacked and did the basic decontamination now, will post pics as soon as I get them onto the PC...one of...

Thanks for all the input guys, I'm off to collect it now  :2thumbs: I wonder if anyone can guess what it is, some clues as you'd be a master if you could guess the model from just the silhouette, circa late 70's, not pro audio but this one could have made its way into a studio with it's...

We've all seen that pawn shop on Gumtree, the one that makes you cringe, even if the equipment wasn't filthy that broken office chair they all feature sitting on is. Then something came up, something rare, something I couldn't say no to, a diamond in the rough as it were, probably the cleanest...

The receiver doesn't support audio over HDMI, many didn't at first, just there for switching, use a digital coax or optical to get the audio to the receiver

Still not sure, he mentioned R3K, any thoughts? Hi Pholo, haha well you know what to do then :giggle:

Thanks juventino and bearenzo, I will pass it on to him  :thumbs: Anyone else any input is welcome on the prices, you can PM me as well He's in Centurion

Oh the cabinet is on wheels Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk

I bought some equipment from this guy, he's at the age where he's retiring from hifi unfortunately, he wanted to know what the rest of these are worth, said I'd ask around for him The cabinet is solid wood with very thick side panels for deadening, he built it himself, sturdy with good...
