Love the little home made sub in the corner.

You boys are getting old... Eye sight starts going, so does hearing. Apparently also sense of smell/taste, just not as easy to quantify/measure. I have annual hearing and eye tests done, but have never done a smell/taste test.

Interesting development, sounds like Tidal is now only streaming 44.1kHz to iOS18.1. I can download to device and listed to HiRez, but not stream. After iOS18 "upgrade" my not cheap DDHifi USB-C cable (iPhone to Mojo) started passing loud white noise, after a few minutes of working - cable swop...

Hi, We sit about 4.5 meters from the TV. It's just the two of us in the house, so side view brightness isn't a major concern. The size is fantastic, even from this close. The 65" now seems too small to be taken seriously (I know it's not). After deciding on this model, I watched a YouTube...

Grabbed myself a 85" HiSense U7N from Takealot for only R27,999 (delivered, nogal). They seem to have11 left at this price. Had to carry the bad boy from the estate gate to my lounge - delivery vehicle was too big. It was worth the effort! Upgraded from 10y.o. 65" LG 4k 3D LED SDR - WOWZER! TV...

[Apologies to Brain for the sidetrack. I'll stop now] Awesome, all those Andromeda versions must look and sound amazing. I have set of Aras, but also a gentle distrust of "all BA" IEMs. Hence my hesitation to get Andromedas. Now I'm wondering if I should...

Not really, I kinda meant responding to both. Was interested in hearing about your CA favourite and commented on my experience with Effect Audio.

Very nice. Which ones are your favorites? I recently added a pretty purple Effect Audio to my Campfire Supermoon. I think it might sound more open, but confirming that feels like hard work. Where's the fun in that. I love the Effect Audio look (and possibly sound), but the cable is a little...

I tried this one, compared against Apple (Lightning to 3.5mm) and ALO Pilot - using Tidal. I struggle telling the difference between Temu bargain DAC and Apple dongle... so not great IMO. However, I added some pink IEMs, a pink cable and pink USB adaptor and my wife now loves it. She boldly...

I believe they are currently negotiating licensing agreements, complicated by the present set of racial laws. Some young talents at Space-X might have learned from old NASA professors, with the old NASA inspiring them to dream of reaching the stars.

Temu could not be simpler. No courier choices or surprise payments (yes, you pay duties/VAT). Goods arrive at your door, by courier, no SAPO involvement. You can track the items, literally saying "at the airport", "departed on flight", "arrived JNB", "at customs", "collected from customs"...

Hope you didn't pay more than R12.50 Temu Headphone Earpads

I'd love to hear how these compare to my new (old stock?) ALO Pilot. It literally arrived as I was reading the replies to an older post. I was torn between ordering from Temu or getting the over-priced, locally stocked (from a good agent) item I really wanted. I couldn't find a Temu alternative...

Very happy owner of Lumin D2 for almost 3 years. It replaced an EmmLabs CDSA SE. I'm streaming Tidal via Ayre Acoustic pre/power to Vivid Audio V1.5 with new drivers & filters (from Kaya25). I perceived this combination and streaming service to be at least similar to the EmmLabs playing SACDs...

For that price I'd want more than one tweeter per speaker. [Is 50mm still seen as a tweeter?] Glad to see the "breakthrough came with DLC". The Chinese must know a thing or two. They've been using DLC in $50 IEMs for a while now. Beryllium is so last season. Tinhifi 4th gen DLC disclaimer...

I owned a few interesting machines over the years... I guess a generation thing - starting with the hobby in 1988. What I want to add is; Some of the most fun and exciting times in my life were around the arrival of new CD players. Cheap old Rotel, to great value NAD, to Linn. Then waiting for...

I recently discovered that Palladium coated Silver cables work the best - you still get the beautiful shine of the Silver, without the obvious glare. Personally, I would not trust any graphite conductor with analogue signals.

Who knows where this "hobby" is taking us... When the time comes to upgrade, you gotta love a yellow case. Upgrade to YELLOW

Hello David Are you enjoying your new DAP? :p

Big Calm - it's the way to go.
