    Wingsuiting: The Most Dangerous Sport On Earth | The Birdmen Chronicles

    Thanks again.. it is a long walk from the bottom up to the road and then hitch hike a taxi ( hopefully) back to Witsieshoek where our vehicles are parked. If you are lucky and have radios, you have a crew on standby from the dam's side..( Sterkfontein)

    USB to Coax

    Hi Guys Just to clarify some.. Sorry Timba, I think you misunderstood me, and thanks MrG for all the info. I do not have a M2Tech usb converter. Just send an example of what could be used. It is a good little converter, however.. I use an Audiophilleo Mk2 with Purepower and consistently find...

    What does a good DAC look like

    The BC 3.5 VB is a brilliant DAC. Still one of the best out there. At the current going rate none of the newer dacs will compete with it imho. It is also a very decent pre amp. Build second to none and comes with remote etc. The fact that you have an external power supply of superb quality...

    Experimental Clash: Martin Logan ElectroMotion ESL vs Monitor Audio Silver 8

    Hi Sarel This is very interesting. My observations if I may.. I suspect that the stereo image is inverted perhaps because of the way the microphones were panned..I hear the first and second strings on the right and the contra basses somewhere on the middle to left. This is based on my many...

    Thank you so much for the kind words gentleman.. much appreciated! I have just listened to Hilary Hahn playing Tchaikovsky?s violin concerto via Tidal?s Master recording ( what a revelation) The scale and realism the system reproduces this masterpiece is breathtaking ( to me anyway🙌) Sure...

    Class A power amplifier

    I would think around the R37-R40k mark .. I will never sell mine for less than that. To buy anything similar today will cost way north of R100k..

    It's only a Hi-Fi

    What precious memories comes to mind seeing those beautiful Studers again! .. Taking out a brand new reel from the sturdy Studer box, still wrapped in plastic. Selecting 38cm/s ( of course, we are recording music :) ) Hitting record and play with the machine coming in motion with almost no noise...

    Ruark Acoustics Accolade

    Howzit A I have owned the lesser models and that midrange driver is arguably one of the best around..beautifully build.. If the price is right I would definitely go for them.. They are massive though.. and you will need a big room and genoeg juice..( quality wise ) Best

    First impressions on Audiogd 29.38

    I have used mine as a dac only and it does a superb job. I compared it directly to my Bel Canto DAC3 and it won hands down at first. I then added an USB reclocking device and purifier to the BC and it pushed it ahead, but not by far.. I am only selling mine because the BC is balanced and I am...

    Recommended amp to power Eminent LFT-8b speakers

    As mentioned , I Bi -amped mine with 4 Theta Dreadnaught amps. Placed 30 kg granite slabs on the back slope of the bass unit and combined it with a B&W PV1/D sub.. Think I used a BAT VK50 SE as pre with some or other DAC..( Think Dac Accute from Tim) When a friend walked in and heard the system...
