    2024 Cape Town Audio Expo - 25th, 26th & 27th October at the Newlands Sun Hotel

    Bokradio are also always keen to promote local events like this. I remember them hyping up and advertising an airshow at Stellenbosch Flying Club for about 2 weeks every day last year (of course I don't know the costs involved - I just enjoyed the adverts and banter that followed on the way to...

    History of NAD

    I sent this video to Leander van Rooyen when it was released on Youtube last year, because I saw the Van Rooyen family mentioned at the 42:19 mark on the video and knew it had to be his father they were referring to. He really appreciated that. Nice to know you were also involved so heavily...

    iFi Zen Studio range

    I only stumbled across this today. Has anybody seen or perhaps tried any of these? https://ifi-studio.com/product-range/ Wonder how they compare to the originals - especially interested in the Zen Can.

    RIP

    I haven't been too active on the forum the last year. Had no idea Arie has passed on until I looked him up now to see when his last post was - after reading his review on the Pathos Aurium headphone amp. I still have the Audeze LCD2F I bought from him, which he probably used in the review. RIP...

    FdlSys - Sad news

    He gave me some excellent advice on turntables and upgrading given a certain budget, but somehow those messages are no longer in my inbox - only my replies. He was a genuinely nice person helping out a genuinely amateur vinyl enthusiast, which I will always appreciate. I hope his family find...

    submarine lost at sea

    Unspoken rule is that the Captain goes down with his ship unless everyone is safe. In this case, though, he didn't have a choice, and the ship was already about as down as you can get. So I agree to an extent.

    submarine lost at sea

    So it has just been confirmed that it imploded. Debris field contained the critical parts of the sub about 200500m from the bow of the Titanic. (one report said 600ft, but I also heard 1600ft on the USCG press briefing) "The initial thing we found was the nose cone... then we found a large...

    Leather headband

    Is there anybody who'll be able to make a leather headband to clip over the tattered pleather of my Oppo PM-3? Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004082948513.html But not with a zip - rather those clips usually found on leather products like below: I have the correct...

    Deezer via WIIM Pro Issues

    I also had buffering issues streaming directly from the Wiim Pro through Deezer. No problems when streaming from Deezer on my phone via Bluetooth to the Wiim Pro, so it's probably a driver issue or something. Have you connected using the Ethernet port? I only used it with WiFi, so can't say how...

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/jun/21/titanic-sub-live-updates-search-us-coast-guard-submarine-submersible#top-of-blog I'm following it in the background on this page, for those interested.

    Any gamer setups?

    Used a HyperX Cloud 2 since 2016, until the mic gave way. Loved it though. Now using my HiFi setup when playing, or otherwise KZ ZS10 Pro in-ears into Zen DAC V2 when I need to be silent. I'll be looking at something else with a Mic when I'm in the UK so I can actually speak to my friends here...

    Upcoming live music events

    I'm pretty sure the duo on the left were at the FNB Starlight Classics - Brittany Smith left and Lukhanyo Moyake if I'm not mistaken (looks and sounds like him at least). Don't know the two on the right, though. Phenomenal voices and talent for sure.

    NOT A GRIPE POST: Why are you leaving SA?

    I've accepted the offer in Cheltenham, UK. The Netherlands opportunity was much better money-wise, but I spoke to a guy working at the UK firm who said the growth in terms of position and earnings was very quick and lucrative. So we'll be using the opportunity to explore the UK at this stage...

    NOT A GRIPE POST: Why are you leaving SA?

    My reason is probably not so much of a "I need to get out of here" case - more of a "I want to see the world for a few years before settling down in SA again". (Please don't see this as an arrogant, braggy type of post - I'm genuinely excited to go and studied and worked 10 years to finally...

    Books that you think everyone should read (note the limits)

    I have them all in soft copy as well. The Walking Drum is on my wish list - it's the only one we don't have. So I guess I'll Kindle it (no, not like his protagonists kindled a small fire under a tree with thick leaves to disperse the smoke so prying eyes won't be able to see it - the flame just...

    Books that you think everyone should read (note the limits)

    The Bible. The Lord of the Rings. A thick James Herriot Compilation book (If Only They Could Talk/It shouldn't Happen to a Vet/Let Sleeping Vets Lie/Vet in a Harness/Vets Might Fly/Vet in a Spin) - this book had me laughing with tears and crying with tears. Excellent reading. Michael Phelps - No...
