Hey guys! Decided to buy some banana plugs from amazon to sort out the terminals on my home theatre wires, so while I'm at it I might as well order everything I need to build my own cables. Some neat flex sleeved RCA cables and banana plug terminated speaker cables. Where in South Africa is...

Hey guys! We've had our home theatre for about 3 months now, and I absolute love it. I found myself using it less and less often, because the only sources I am using is apple music from my iphone through the bluetooth module on the amp, or through an optic cable from the smart tv, playing...

Hey all! I am moving into my first house in a couple of weeks, whooo! I have 2 bookshelf speakers for the rear of the living room system, and 2 big vintage stereo speakers that are in need stands. Does anyone have an idea where I can buy some in Gauteng, or who to commission to have them...

Hey guys! I recently had an insurance claim pay out, and for the audio equipment that was lost I got some vouchers to spend at Sounds Great. Whoo.  :coffee: I have 27k to spend, and must end up with a nice TV and speakers to go along with her. The TV I am going for from them is a 65" for...

I bought some upgrade pads for my AKG271 mkii awhile ago from Amazon, it was stuck at customs forever though.  :angrywife: They came through yesterday and I am super happy. The old pads got stiff and had little play/squishyness left in them, age I presume? The ones I got was the "Memory Foam...

Hey guys! I recently received a Sennheiser Game Zero headset that has pleather pads. It replaced my AKG as my gaming headset. The AKG has velour pads and a 'leather' head-strap. My face and bald head is oily, not excessively, but noticeably. The array of skin products I use to counter that is...

My dad is using a Denon AVR 1906 with a RC 979 remote that came with the unit. Recently, half the buttons on the remote stopped working. I opened it up and cant see a popped resistor or anything out of place. Not that I am the best for fixing something like this with my basic electronics...

Hey all! I have an old stereo amp that I received with a set of KEF C55 'vintage' speakers. The right channel only seems to let bass through. like a low pass filter is on or something. But I have checked all the settings and no joy. This amp was purchased in the early 90s, so a repair recap...

Hey guys! We are planning on renovating the GF's apartment TV/Lounge area with a new TV etc... She is used to, and I'm fed up, watching TV shows and movies with the built in speakers. In my cupboard I have 2 sets of 5x speakers for an old Pioneer system and a Wharfdale system who's amps went...

Hey all! Watched a video last night of a 'canjam' in some US state, and it looked like awesome fun! Has there been something like that in Gauteng, and if so, how does one get involved? Surely there is enough people on the forum that would attend something like that? Even if its just a...

As some of you might know, I am very new to the headphone and audio game. Although I have been listening to sounds my entire life. (hah, please laugh at my joke...) After watching and reading many reviews, spending a few hours at Scubadude's house listening through his collection of...

Hey Guys, I was gifted a pair of KEF C55 speakers a few years ago by my father. He bought them when he just got married to my mother many, many years ago. I never paid them much attention, but they were used as the main guest to many a party while I was still living as a bachelor. (... the...
