Wow, I didn't realise they are so difficult to come by. I just did a search in S.A. and now understand your comment. I have a reasonable music collection on blu-ray (I got rid of the majority of my movies) that I haven't watched to for some time. After being in service for a few months I removed...

I bought a LG OLED 6 years ago, it has been brilliant but yesterday the screen failed. When I bought it I read that they will have a shorter life span than LCD. I didn't think the lifespan would be so short though. I took it to a repair guy who said I should throw it away, he can't get...

Episode two. Cleaned up with the new cartridge. Time to re-assemble, I assembled most of the components to check the auto start and stop function by turning the spindle manually. all good. Nicely insolated. Complete assembly set overhang (15,5mm), balance the tone arm and then set...

As mentioned in my introduction I have been bitten by the refurb/restore bug. Prompted mainly by buying a Marantz Sr 5600 online. It looked lovely and all the functions seemed to work on the video that the seller sent. Well, when it arrived all the problems unseen on a video exposed themselves...

Hello Pwatss, Unfortunately I still don't know if it was a futile exercise or not. The phono stage is still on the fritz :-( The other inputs are sounding amazing. It was not the intention to get it "gutted", the amp went in to have the phono stage repaired then leaky caps were found, there...

Thanks Neil.

Thank you LIVESOUND, I will take a gander at the video. I intend to enjoy :-)

Hello all, Greg here from Jeffreys Bay. let me begin by apologising, I have been a sleeper here for ages. I tend to enter a new environment, head for the corner and observe before I open my mouth. I have observed :), and I like. I am semi-retired and in my spare time I have rekindled my love...

I have tried over the last couple of years to purchase items but as mentioned above the items are usually taken or on hold. They remain "available" for months after however. I did purchase a Techniques amp from him in February, "mint condition", I have to agree, shipping was fast and the amp...

Awesome photos.

In October 22 I had a Sunsynk 8Kw, 12 x 5,45Wh PV panels and 2x 100Ah 5120Wh batteries. I thought it was overkill as I am what is considered a low usage client. I Use 350 to 450Mw per month. It doesn't take much to exceed the 8Kw: Kettle 2 + Micowave 2 + geyser 4 Kw. I also tend to peak during...

Sunsynk 8kw, 10kw Apium batteries, 6kw solar. It has been raining for most of today (Jeffreys Bay) with about 90 minutes of sun. The batteries are at 96% (07:14 PM) SOC, solar still producing 0.1kw, the load is 0.5kw. Peaking at around 2.5kw using randomly e.g. 2kw microwave to warm milk. Two...

Sound advice DacMan1.

Thanks, will do.
