I use a Massdrop Cavalli Tube Hybrid amp and a FiiO D03K DAC with Philips SHP9600 headphones for gaming at my desk, and it's excellent. I also have Fidelio X2s which are great if a bit heavy on the bass. However, I've recently built a second lower-spec PC connected to my AVR and TV for some...

Eusebius McKaiser has passed away. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-05-30-broadcaster-analyst-and-journalist-eusebius-mckaiser-45-dies-sending-shockwaves-around-the-country/

I'm afraid my expertise does not extend to this. My starting point would probably have been Carbonite user Tsakie, who had deals on Victron inverters with lithium batteries. Victron is, as far as I know, a more expensive brand, but by my estimates it was only around 20% more expensive than the...

Just a comment on this, you can generally get better value than Ecoflow (for the same watt-hour capacity) by getting a traditional inverter and battery setup. The benefit of these is they may be better able to handle full-size solar panels (they may have built-in solar controllers already). So...

While this is very good, there aren't any lawnmowers in it, despite the album title and cover. Try this one:

As far as I can tell Rain locks their devices to their own network, so it won't work without a Rain SIM. Switching routers might not be as simple as plug-and-play; I tried to do this for a family member a while back and couldn't get it to work after around 30 minutes of faffing. Although I do...

It's a stretch to say "make up what you're hearing." As I said in a previous post, nobody is lying about what they are experiencing. Their experience is just coloured by expectations. It's the same principle as "rose tinted glasses;" the effect of nostalgia on memories of the past; being more...

"What you hear ain't gonna change" is what is up for debate here. Confirmation bias is a real thing, and your subjective experience of what you hear, can be affected by what you expected going into the listening session. The point is that sometimes it's difficult to be "honest with yourself"...

Including or excluding the Spoiler text? :ROFLMAO: I think he means: Person A just bought more expensive cables for his system, and he and Person B are now listening to the system. Person A: "These cables are so valuable and they have lots of fancy features. I can hear they make my system...

In theory, the only way to remove confirmation bias, is blind testing. If you have good blind tests available that are conducted strictly enough to have eliminated confirmation bias (and other biases), the results of those tests are more useful than opinions when making purchasing...

Is it just me or are there three different people claiming three different names of owners of the bakery? We have: Ed & Jeany Giovanni & Ettore Deborah & Ivano Or am I going mad?

And, in Newtown. https://www.andclub.co.za/ https://goo.gl/maps/1jQVYKxGms44a9317 Incidentally And has some of the best sound I've ever experienced at a nightclub. Last time I was there the system used horns of some kind arranged in the corners of the dancefloor (supplemented with...

If you want to try something interesting and local, Leonista is available on Takealot. It's more of a mezcal approach - much more of a smoky flavour than most tequilas - but it's worth a try IMO.

It's Cash Converters. They don't keep stock, someone sold this to them.

Might be a dumb question but did you check the language settings? I know some apps hide it in there (i.e. English - 2ch and English - 5.1ch are listed as two different languages). Or it might be a pricing tier issue? E.g. you can only get surround if you're on the Premium tier or whatever like...

Maybe I'm out of line here, but for R 6 000 you can get pretty close to a non-soundbar system, if you don't mind buying used. You see AV receivers trickle past at the R 2 000 mark every now and then. Here one went for R 1 500 (albeit with some cosmetic flaws)...

My first thought when I saw the picture of the room (coming from someone who knows absolutely nothing about room treatment), was: have you ever tried flipping the room around, having the couch where the speakers are now and the speakers in front of the two hollows? No idea if the idea makes any...

AI will create a number of jobs as well, the extent of which is, as yet, unclear. ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are just the tip of the iceberg. AI will transform society in ways that we can't possibly predict. This is inevitable.

Did you guys see Dove from De La Soul has passed away :(

Just don't bet a million rand on the outcome. We all know how THAT will go :ROFLMAO:
