Schalk, glad to hear you are on the mend. Sterkte and best wishes from Vancouver, Canada.

Always thought provoking to interact with, a pleasure to deal with for audio necessities and so forthcoming with assistance.  You will be sorely missed on this forum and many other places.  With the diaspora taking so many Saffers around the planet, Croak had, and deserved, a global...

I have one of them, a little up graded, with a new power supply, (switchable 33/45 and you can fine tune the rotation speeds as well) upgraded dual belt drive, and an ungraded cork faced platter that replaces the glass faced one.  all supplied via Avid.  Conrad was quite approachable via email...

anyone tried https://www.medici.tv/ ? All classical content. I was sent a one month voucher and quite enjoyed the content. It seems as a "guest" you can view older concerts even without a subscription. 

Bought at Street records Braamfontein, 1984 Been listening to too much streaming, but when this came up could only find cd quality, had to dig the record out.. Sssssoooo much better... Awesome record.

Dark mode is there... Second thing I went hunting for..

Melody Gardot Sunset in the blue. Another recent album. Found the music on roon/tidal been enjoying it, the lp just sounds so good. I'd listened to some of her albums, but never  found them compelling. This one is nice. Very listenable. Swambo approved as well.. Unlike her live in Europe...

Another stunning album. Also served up by roon radio. The lp is silent and the sound georgeous.

After I'd listened to Ron Miles on roon, roon dropped this gem into my stream. Ordered the lp and its another brilliant recording. Knocks the spots of the stream.

Ron Miles - Rainbow Sign Stereophile record of the month January 21. Listened initially on roon/tidal. LP arrived today.. STUNNING

reading the thread started by Weltin on his move to New Zealand, got me thinking. Just wandering how far around the planet the awesome products that Oom Schalk makes have travelled?  I'm in Vancouver, Canada, and have more than my fair share. A whisper, Black widow Pre and mono power amps.  My...

Is MQA worth it?  Lots of views and impressions. Frankly I was on the fence myself.  I prefer LP's, like the sound, the whole process of choosing, cleaning, putting on the TT and relaxing back to listen. A few years back I was playing with a SONOS, streaming it to an very old Quad CD player as...

Wonderful new Katie melua. album no 8 Been listening via tidal but the lp knocks the stream out of the park..
