    Introduction: A soldering iron, Daan Jacobs and ECM

    Aaah, if you search for some of my posts here, you will find talk about the reference 3's.. It was the only thing I kept after selling everything else a few years ago.. Still have them.. I do t know what voodoo this oom Daan used, but with the right amp(best one I liked was the au111) they make...

    Which amplifier will you keep for life????

    plus they look awesome, if I ever owned an Accuphase, I would also 👍🏼👍🏼. If hindsight count 😂, I would have still kept my Au111 and that plankie 2a3 set Mars build for me. But, life's not about regrets, so I'll move on.

    That's confusing, perhaps a few examples would help clarify or could be easily explained if one knows what it is that's irritating you so much.. Bull💩 can be a lot of different things..

    So, in other words, it's gotto do with their contribution..wether we like their "stuff" or not is another subjective matter 👍🏼👍🏼..

    I agree, but I would say "once in a while" you find someone you don't gel with, but "most of the time", you find good people.. 😝

    @Charles Barnes, interesting post... what was your forum name before ? My thinking is that a lot of audio stuff is subjective, from looks to sounds etc. So you never really gonna get things "your way" all the time..it's a public forum, you gonna meet a diverse range of people with different...

    Washing machine brands

    The more modern ones are half a dozen of one and 6 of the other, been through fancy priced German AEG and average priced Samsung, they're all the same really, and not made to last.. I do think the big speedqueens maybe worth checking out.

    How much do cables matter?

    See now, I like both 🤦‍♂️😂😂 as long as it's not green or herbal tea or or something 🤔.. Someone once told me that you can get used to cheap brandy, but never coffee.. 😂.. And you know the Daily Sun also post things about some tokholoshe that stole the Frisco out of the beans, leaving them...

    How much do cables matter?

    So what if I don't like these "accurate sonic image proportions that are fine..." , and prefer "certain coloured/smeared sound..." All I'm seeing and saying is that we need to read every response here by simply prefixing it with... "My preference is as follows....."

    Cars with Dipsticks. When to check the oil Hot or Cold Engine ?

    I'm assuming you are talking a stock car? There are very few stock of these around... The guys like Nxgen always built and tuned maps accordingly, and reccomended Sasol 95 or you use octane booster on high boost as most of them have high and low boost after building and tuning etc..

    Full electric in SA, I'd try avoid that for as long as possible, for now hybrid is okay

    Why don't you also ask someone like @creichman on the forum. Cars is their bread and butter.

    Cars with Dipsticks. When to check the oil Hot or Cold Engine ?

    There will be, atleast in all cars I've checked. Same like tyre pressure, hot oil is thiner and combined with the engine turning, the levels will raise.. Just bear in mind both under or over oil is bad either way.

    Cars with Dipsticks. When to check the oil Hot or Cold Engine ?

    Like many suggested, check based on manual... My scoob is cold before start, and daily + water/coolant 😢 and it still breaks. My toyota condor I never checked oil or water/coolant ever for 20 years (RIP, it rolled) just changed it every year or two and it drove daily.. Even after it rolled...

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    Yeah,unlike me 🤣, if you are in it at these levels, than those things are part of the package (room etc). I have even heard supposedly lesser speakers/systems sound great or even good stuff sound completely different, just because of the room. It can go even further, I recall good old Rodney...
