I've made a lot of on-line camera and super-telephoto pro lens purchases from Kameraz in Rosebank and never had any problems. The condition always as advertised, and they guarantee and accept returns if the buyer is not satisfied. Still a very professional company.

Bea Lam, wife of Luke Manley (VTL) is another influential woman in audio.

Francois has a G 33000. Hopefully I haven't given a secret away.

Jeff Rowland Model 9t monoblocks (four heavy boxes). I bought them in the 90's from Audio Imports for $33k at an exchange rate of less than R4 against the $. They came with a 20 year warranty. They've operated problem free up to today. The man himself, Jeff Rowland, recently sent me some upgrade...

I also bought a couple of these from Francois (Audioexchange), and I do like them.

Data recovery could become quite expensive, and always unguaranteed. I've used Kernel for Windows Recovery software with good results many times. They have a trial version. I purchased the full version, maybe due to restrictions in functionality.

Same bad experience with Vodacom. They even had the audacity to hand me over to debt collectors. Affidavit at police, Hello Peter and case of fraud. Never ever any Vodacom business for me.
