My mother won a diamond ring in a competition recently. It is valued (by the company who ran the competition) at R40 000. It is possibly not worth that much in just the raw materials though. It is a beautiful thing, and the design most probably makes up some of the value. She wanted me to list...

I slapped together a nasty looking box for two 6.5" bass drivers I had lying around. It really is nasty looking, hence the absence of pics  :-[ BUT, I found the amount of decibels I got out of these drivers unbelievable. Surprisingly flat in a small bakkie cab, and MUCH lower than the sealed...

I've generally speaking always enjoyed the sound of a standmount over that of a floorstanding speaker. I like the way they image and the midrange almost always sounds cleaner to me. I've heard many exceptions, and they are generally from narrow baffled speakers. So, I've been toying with the...

I am looking for a 4.4, a 2.2 and a 3.2 Ohm resistor, and an inductor of 0.33 picoFarad suitable for a small speaker crossover. Could anyone point me to a link where I could buy these or if you have any spares that could gladly buy from you. I have searched RS, but I get lost in the sheer...

Does anyone have a pair of these for sale? They were/are very popular budget tweets according to most sources. I'm trying to match a specific sound. http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/audax-soft-dome-tweeters/audax-tw010f1-10-mm-polymer-dome-tweeter/ I'm in Randpark Ridge, halfway between...

I've been searching on-line and my nearest hobby shop, but no luck. I need about 10 meters of surgical tubing as an "up-start" "high start" "mini high-start" for a small radio controlled glider. Any colour is OK, and it has to be cheap, because it might not work very well, or might just not be...

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/04/showbiz/roger-ebert-obituary/index.html I'm really going to miss this guy. Even when he loved a movie, his description was so good, I could tell that I would hate it, and the other way round too. Who do I trust now!?

http://truefire.com/blog/guitar-lessons/blues-song-genealogy-nobodys-fault-mine/ This is one of my favourite songs ever, and these alternate versions were just too awesome not to share. The Blind Willie Johnson version, and the Abigail Washburn versions are amazing. Abigail obviously knows her...

The second hand NAD C315BEE I bought worked absolutely flawlessly for about two months now, and I am seriously impressed with the sound. It saddens me that it has developed a heavy buzz, and all playback is distorted. Some facts that might help to you help me: The buzz is not affected by...

I found this fan yesterday, and paid the princely sum of R80 for it. After this substantial cash outlay, I found that it was not in working order. It would seem that I was duped into buying a pre-war relic from around 1936! Before I go onto HelloPeter, is there any way of repairing this fan...

I am looking to build a set of bookshelf speakers in the 9-10 litre range. This will be a first build for me so I won't try anything exotic, but here are my parameters: 1. I do like the average rear ported bookshelf speakers that I've heard, but sealed will be more versatile for me, how will...

Ok, I've been casually looking for this album for a while now, and don't want to pay too much for it. So after a bit of googling, imagine my shock when I got to this http://www.wantitall.co.za/Music/Oldarra-Le-Cant-Basque__B000006CS0 I'll keep looking for it, I guess.

I get a lot of satisfaction from recycling old stuff into something useful, and about 8 years ago, outside a TV/movie studio, I found these wooden crates, they were tatty then, but had something cool about them. The guy who was throwing them out couldn't believe I wanted them. There were about...

I am looking for a microswitch, and I have searched for a simple supply shop in my area, ie Wilgeheuwel/Honeydew/Randpark Ridge, and there is nothing here. Any ideas? I'm really not keen on driving to Midrand for a R10 switch.

My mother-in-law was going to throw out two lengths of very wide meranti skirting she had in her garage, and I recycled them into speaker stands. I had to buy two lengths of  square 44mm meranti to complete the construction. It's very straight forward and I only have a hand mitre saw, a hand...

I have a pair of Sansui SU880T speakers. http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/242539360/SU_880_Speakers.html The enclosures are water damaged, and I much prefer the sound of my Monitor Audio S1's, especially because they sound great at lower volumes. The speakers sound much better than they look...
