Hey all Just wanted to share how good quality and build these spades are. These are the rhodium plated versions. They are weighty and solid. And make my budget rocket 11?s look the business!

Hi All I have been doing a bit of investigation into this. So you know how on normal 3 pin plugs you are able to remove the pins from the plug. I was looking at getting pure copper silver plated pins manufactured so I could replace them on my existing plugs, which are usually hollow or brass...

Hey all. Been looking to get a decent set of power cables Specifically ones with EMI shielding and better gauge that the stock ones. Nothing super elite. So looking at them I noted they are not cheap and as readily available in SA terminations. So I though why not make some. My idea as...

Hey all. Just wanted to find out 2 things: Where can one get good quality AV racks in SA? And secondly, does having one with the decoupling and mechanical isolation make a difference at all? Something like this for example...

Hey guys so I?m busy researching speaker cables to use with my new Monitor audio gold 300?s (4th gen). Currently using QED silver anniversary xt (which from what I can find out is effectively 1,5mm) in bi-wire( bluesound powernode) and bi-amped (denon 4700h) terminated with nakamichi banana...

Hi All I'm at a point in my small HT room (5mX4mX2.7h) room where I feel that some acoustic treatment will improve my sound quality. I definitely have some rear wall reflection issues as well as low frequencies not dissipating fast enough. I have played around with Room EQ wizard and the...

Hey all, I see there was a post from 2017 regarding Audioholics. However I just want to make certain before I purchase from them as I have never bought from them before. They have some good deals this week. Has anybody purchased from them recently, basically are they trustworthy and have a...

Hi All So its finally time I need to upgrade to a 4k AVR. Everything else is now 4k. I currently have the Onkyo 807. So I was wondering, what the equivalent of 2016/2017 would be, and secondly what price/trade in I could possibly get for my 807. Thanks.

I got this player recently for an incredible bargain from Singapore when i was there. I know its frowned upon here, but i could not resist the oppurtunity. So anyway, all i have to say is wow! I did not know my CD's had that many instruments recorded on them. I unassumingly popped in a Kings Of...

Hi all I'm looking for a converter for a buddy of mine. He doesn't have the money to buy a new AVR, but he does have a speaker system that can take 5.1 RCA inputs. Now as we all know the PS3 doesn't have that and only has the optical out. So therefore i was wondering if such a device exists? Or...

Hey guys, we just moved into a new place, and the house needs a bit of work. Specifically extensions to the current structure, as it only has one garage and no en-suite, and well no home theatre room. So i was wondering if you guys know of any draughting/architect services that will not cost...

So, its time for me to upgrade, and both the iPhone 4 and Nokia N8 are attainable. I've been a nokia user since, well the 3110 or something. Never used the iPhone, played around with it and stuff, but never fully utilised the OS. I see the nokia has a standard mini usb and mini hdmi connection...

So whats all this business about the new gen of AVR's with 3D features. What exactly does that mean? I have the Onkyo 807 and it has the Pro-Logic IIx, which gives the AVR of adding a front height speaker, which i essentially the same thing right? Or am i missing the point?

Hey guys, SARS gave me a chance to upgrade, so i'm in the marked for a HD monitor for gaming purposes. I would like something at least 23inch or larger. I've been trying to research but reviews are not really helping. I actually need some advice from people locally. I've looked at some sammy's...

Hi all This is simple enough. I want to split my DSTV signal, into two, 1 to the TV in loung and 1 to TV in the room. I've used the Ellies splitter - 1 in to 2 out. But for some reason the splitter died after about 2 minutes, so i bought a second splitter, and the same thing happened, got...

Hey guys Not sure where to post this, but here goes. I'm having a problem with the god of war 3 audio output. Basically no matter what i set the audio to in the audio menu in the game, it outputs the audio in 7.1 channel, and not even in dolby digital. I've tried using it both via HDMI and...

Hey guys i just saw tha HC has the evo 2 for R5999 a pair, and i'm in the market for a set of budget stereo speakers. My choices are the MA RX6, the Paradigm monitor 7, B&W 684 and now i guess the Evo 2. I saw them in rosewood and they do look very good, perhaps i can get them to let me test...

Are they really that good? And are the ones and HC the original manufactured from the UK? It doesn't make sense how expensive they are in the UK but sooo much cheaper here. Anybody have these? Any testimoneys? Should i get a pair for music listening on a budget, cos i can't really use my...
