    Steep driveway, low slung car

    This would annoy the crap out of me if I had to struggle daily to get in and out of driveway ,don't care how fancy the house or how high up on the hill it is ..if it's got a shitty driveway it's a no flyer . I'd honestly just remove driveway and redo it in a way where you can simply drive in and...

    JHB Cable Listening Experiment

    if i can add my 2c, all cables should be covered in that plastic corrugated sleeving, all banana plugs exactly the same. someone should swap cables, allow each person to "vote" 1-10 in different catagories... keep swapping cables, keep voting.. eventually.. a trend will emerge .. no doubt about...

    LG South Africa Price for 83" C1 OLED TV

    a bit off topic but sorta related, im still on my old trusty samsung plasma from 2011 51" and none of the led tvs do it for me, the motion seems fake/overcompensated... the colors seem overly "digital" if that makes sense... ive realised that the only real replacement is an oled tv... and 50" or...

    Specs/Tests To Determine Sonic Differences

    I competed for a few years in Sound quality car audio (not to be confused with the folks with all their subwoofers and noise and test tones), and the objective in a SQ car is very much the same as us "audiophiles" aspire to in our lounges.  In the last build I did which was a 01 5series, I had 3...

    HFX end of an era with Bowers and Wilkins and Marantz ..

    If the second hand market is anything to go by, you have to hand it to importers and distributors of high end gear in south africa. Think about this, of our 60mil population, probably 10% have spending power of any sort. In many other country's a greater % of the total population have...

    Some High Res Audio Truths

    Very well put Leo, but I get where Joel is coming from and I also agree.. I guess the big word here is context, its always out of context. And without knowing or understanding which master we are listening to one cannot compare as the difference we are hearing isnt because its 16bit vs 24bit...

    Just for fun ... Best R50k system

    EXACTLY. but when you buy the old car you do a "mild restore" when you buy it, so you do some preventative stuff upfront. if buying and then fixing when/if breaks it'll always be a nightmare because at 250k there is a few things due that silly dealers missed didnt do or didnt do properly.it ...
