    Samsung 5 Series 32" for R3k?

    I found an ad on the avsa classifieds for a 32" Samsung 5 Series LCD (UA32C5000) for R3000. I've contacted the guy and it turns out it's not second hand or anything, he runs a store in Nelspruit and ships countrywide, so presumably was presumably just looking for some publicity on avsa. Is that...

    Nice iPod speakers

    Ya I just saw that. Looks good. I've contacted the seller. I've just found out that it won't work at all with my parents' current iPod, so they'd have to get a new one straight away, which isn't really ideal, but that's definitely a good deal.

    Nice iPod speakers

    I'm looking for some nice iPod speakers for my parents. They recently relegated their old NAD hifi system and I hate the lack of music when I see them now. Before you bring suggestions that iPod speakers will never perform, stop. I know that, but they (my mom) didn't like the other system taking...

    Cheap USB DAC

    Thanks dkronie, that looks like a nice cheaper alternative. @others Ya I will be getting in touch with Dell, I'm just waiting for the warranty to transfer to my name (it was bought through a relative from the UK). But I've read that it's an actual flaw in the design of the laptop, so there...

    Cheap USB DAC

    @Enigma Thanks, those look like definite possibilities. Also can't find the cheaper one for sale anywhere... @ludo Yes, so far I've only been using it with my new UE 'phones and it still gives the noise. My iPod is my main listening device, so until this gets sorted my laptop audio will only be...

    Cheap USB DAC

    My new Dell Studio laptop has am interference problem with the headphone jacks, which causes constant, annoying white noise. I'm going to try to sort this out with Dell, but in the meantime, I'd like to try get a cheap USB 'sound card' so that I can bypass the laptop's jacks. Preferably...

    Speaker spikes

    But being metal, wouldn't those just perpetuate the problem? Or doesn't that really matter? Don't know where I'd find those though; what about rubber feet or something?

    Speaker spikes

    I currently have my B&W 602.5 speakers sitting on a wooden floor and whenever there's a bit of bass at louder volumes, the desk and stuff start rattling a bit. So my question is, should I buy a small carpet to go underneath each speaker so that I can use the speakers' spikes?

    Fuse - fast or slow blow?

    Ok I'll be sure to have a closer look. Thanks for the pointers.

    Fuse - fast or slow blow?

    Well I don't know for sure that it is the pre-amp fuse, but the pre-amp is the only thing that isn't working...

    Fuse - fast or slow blow?

    I need to replace the 5A fuse for the pre-amp stage of my NAD 3020PE amp. Should I get a slow or fast blow?

    The ONE track that makes you relax.

    Wish You Were Here, as someone already mentioned. But more importantly, Explosions In The Sky - Your Hand In Mine. Absolutely transcendental.

    iPod LOD

    Yup, my Apple dock just arrived. Bit peeved to see that no remote is included. Is there no easy way to buy a semi-decent interconnect on the internet? I might be going to Cape Town soon. Will somewhere like Caldis have decent cables? (and I mean quality cables that look and feel nice and will...

    iPod LOD

    Well I'll see. Can you recommend where to buy such a cable of about 1m length. Somewhere online that will ship would be best.

    iPod LOD

    And for more than R100? Actually if it's going to be a dock it'll only have to be a metre long. Maybe less even.

    iPod LOD

    Okay, can you recommend a good cable that I can buy online or in Cape Town. Not really looking to spend much more than R100 if I'm honest and need about 2m. I'll obviously be using this with a dock, so the problem of fitting it into my iPod cover obviously isn't a problem. Yes, I have been...

    iPod LOD

    Ok I'm going to get the dock then. Ya, my current cable is a Digitech 'monitor audio' cable (from Hi-Fi corp) and while I'm not really into platinum coated works of cable engineering, I'll accept that my 5m cable might not be the best thing for my SQ. It suits me though, because the plugs are...

    Please clarify. Sorry I'm not too savvy... So the iPod DAC is good or bad?
