    BMW driver side door lock disintegrated

    Hi Guys, As per heading, my only means of transport has after almost 20 years closed a door on me. The complete lock mechanism has essentially disintegrated and deposited most of what it once was in the bottom part of the door frame. Now, I have heard many horror stories of how much these...

    Local vs international

    And having listened to various speakers along my walk of life, I can state with conviction that these are right up there with performance and great value for money. And Mr Bentley is a very approachable individual who believes in what he does.

    Issue with predator

    Thanks Gavin for advising. I was rolling around in my millions until I realized it was but a dream.

    Issue with predator

    Hello Mike, My sincere apology for neglecting to reply. I am somewhat under the hammer and also old enough to forget. I’ll have a talk to myself about that though! The mentioned resistors usually run warm, but not hot enough to crack. Just ensure that the amp has adequate ventilation and...

    Cape Town Audio Expo 15-17 September

    And as one of the upcountry guys I have to admit this is most likely the best overall Hi Fi show I have attended in South Africa. Kudos to the event organisers as well as to Lance Dixon / Sounds Natural, our agent in this lovely part of our country for setting this up. A touch of genius, no...

    Valve Audio x Fyne Audio/Tannoy. Any experience here?

    Now why did I not think of that? Brilliant suggestion Adriano, I'll do the installation of said power plant and let you have the first test drive 🏎️

    Valve Audio x Fyne Audio/Tannoy. Any experience here?

    But I have now "shelved" that modus operandi. Last time I did that the Genesis 2KW unit slipped off the rear end of your lovely, effective, but too small SoundStructure. The 75Kg load went through my 100mm wooden floor (that be the truth, come measure it) and wrecked my Dear Wife's Royal Albert...

    Valve Audio x Fyne Audio/Tannoy. Any experience here?

    Thank you Jacques! An honest opinion and I appreciate that. Totally vindicates the many hours invested in doing what I do.. Fun fact: push the amp a bit deeper towards the back of the shelf and the sound stage grows exponentially 😅

    Valve Audio x Fyne Audio/Tannoy. Any experience here?

    Been so long since you had that and thank you for the purchase at the time, and ashamed to say I cannot remember your name (mine neither ):oops: That one was one of the original Exclamé 100 models, and yes, with a particular sound signature. The current 150 however can be "told" what to be and...

    Synergy: Fallacy or a real factor?

    If listening to a favorite tune comes down to so much nit picking and number crunching it surely must be way easier to just hum a tune while staring across the plains of our fair land. To each his own poison….

    Hifi Art - great photos of equipment

    Have to say the Afzelia is indeed a much better color match to the gold than the Japanese Cherry.

    Hifi Art - great photos of equipment

    Thanks for the memories! I have to say it really came out very nice and was a pretty good match color wise.
