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

    There is being a free thinker and then being conventional with both of those terms not being mutually exclusive. There is a reason it is called conventional. I agree with the views of Chris here. Get out of AVForums Moderator Jail free cards in some of the packs? Put some AVForums member in...

    Not willing to split sale items?

    Very simple to deal with. Purchase the set from the seller and then split and sell yourself. You?ll be compensated through the additional profits selling separately yields ?.

    Local heatsinks

    Order that profile direct from supplier. I posted a link to them a number of years ago. Back then they were in Durban and cut to size.

    Afghanistan

    What makes the US  think they can achieve anything? The bravery of being out of range. I see it as simply being all about the money. There is a need to justify expenditure with the military industrial complex. Consolidation of money (power) into the hands of the few. Being so disconnected from...

    What lawyers want

    Me replying to the one attorney I appointed: "Thanks, that sounds good" - R350 itemised on the invoice. Can you explain what value the attorney provided by reading that response. What mental effort was expended? What level of expertise was required to receive that mail? I can quote numerous...

    Starlink Signup

    This is one of the compelling aspects. No govt restriction, at least not ours. SA govt one day decides to become more draconian, Chinese / Russian like.? Not too far fetched. They don?t have control over Starlink.

    Silicone Spray

    IMO There ain?t anything wrong per se with using silicone sprays. It?s been around for ages. We used to use it as an office furniture supplier. It is anti static, so doesn?t attract dust etc and is able to to extend the elastomeric life span of rubbers and plastics. As far as the second hand...

    Death of a medium

    Streaming is really convenient and it does have some advantages, however I think a lot of the experience that came along with physical media is lost. It also points toward a reductionist trend of making this world convenient and easy for larger and larger corporations to setup ?Economies of...

    Yamaha / Marantz with 7.1 Pre-outs

    If we term them correctly - Pre Amplifier out / Power amp out .... Electrical principle is the same. Think about when they do THD+N measurements on a power amplifier. If a power amplifier was measured into 1 Ohm, does the voltage developed for a particular THD+N level (essentialy SINAD) not...

    Yamaha / Marantz with 7.1 Pre-outs

    What was the input impedance of the device used in this measurement? That will have an affect on the "SINAD" results. Eg if the device was 600 Ohms as opposed to 33kOhms typical of a power amplifier, there would be far more distortion.

    Nightmare tenant : The End

    As you posted earlier, the modified level 3 regulations in place prevent eviction UNLESS there is an order in place which there is. Make haste with pursuing eviction based on that order because if we move to level 4 it may no longer be valid. Good Luck Dolby. Chris - well done for pursuing...

    Nightmare tenant : The End

    Is it illegal though? Whats different about you living in the property, not paying the bill and the supply being cut? In cases where the landlord cuts the supply, it is illegal, however a supplier of electricity (eg eskom) has the right to cut the supply of for non payment. Perhaps using...

    Nightmare tenant : The End

    The question I have is how exactly does this woman afford legal representation. Secondly, what is the point of the civil ?justice? system we have and why are the good guys always the losers? A lot of it is in my view the reluctance of attorneys to set foot in a court room. I am not sure if...

    Covid Vaccine

    This is something that ticks me off. Already I am taxed because I earn more. If I happen to have enough over for private medical aid, surely my due has already been paid. Additionally me having treatment that the govt doesn?t have to pay for frees up those funds for others. All these ideas are...

    netflix and the greedy SABC!!

    Watching YouTube or any sort of streaming (even free) you will need a licence. Hence their idea of you needing to have a licence for a phone, tablet, laptop etc as well
