Correct georgev. I am looking for a integrated amp with a built in dac and streamer. Also a subwoofer input. Thanks for the reply!

Stereosane I have not, but I have no experience with any streamer, this is a first for me. I am down sizing my life and trying to have just a stream driving 2 big speakers. I will not be running the streamer through an amp, so the streamer needs to normal speaker outputs and enough power to...

I am thinking of buying an Arcam SA30 music streamer and was hoping to hear from anyone who has experience of this streamer. I will play it through two B&W nautilus 803 floor standing speakers. I plan to use Tidal as my streaming music source. It is pricey so I would like to know it is worth...

Eldorado's made my wedding cake. It was fantastic! I use to buy my father cheese sticks from them when I went to visit, was his favourite. Great memories!!!!

R15000 rebate on my tax this year...GREAT!!

It may also be that minion has a little hearing loss in that range. Hearing loss is usually specific to certain frequencies, depending on age or the frequency of sound that caused the hearing loss. Myself I can hear the background effects perfectly but can hardly hear the dialog because that is...

Subtitles all the way, whenever possible. My wife has excellent hearing, so she can watch with TV sound on level 20 or 30% of max. I however can only hear speech clearly when it reaches about 70% which is to loud for her. Also, love the foreign series. They tell a story very differently which...

great advice Livesound. Can you suggest anyone, e.g. PG glass or other group. I live in Hillcrest, Natal.

some much useful advice, thanks all.@Curlycat: can I assume they do not make this old tech glass anymore and I am safe to buy glass anywhere because it will not do this again? Really do not want to replace glass every few years!

Thanks guys. I never realized the glass is laminated...makes sense. It is expensive to replace, and it is in Aluminum frames which I do not have any experience replacing glass in. I wonder if their is anyone near Pinetown for such a job?

Hi All I just moved and the house windows have strange bubbles around the edges. Worst on the bottom edges. Does anyone know what this is and is there a way to remove them. It is not pretty! Thanks

When using in-ear buds, the sound in the very confined space of your ear cannels is much more focused and has a lot more power, so it is easier to damage the delicate hairs, the same ones that wear out and never grow back / recover once damaged! Over-ear headphones is not as focused and hence a...

santoshlv426 your usage is low! It usually takes about 8 to 10 years to recover your outlay in money, but the satisfaction of never been with out electricity due to loadshedding or breakdowns is instant! It has been such a pleasure. Just one less SA stress to have to complain about. It is also...

These look interesting to play with, anyone have any experience with them?

yes earbuds

I wish someone had told me the facts about hearing loss when I was young. I had no idea that you suffer permanent hearing loss every time you are exposed to loud sound. Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing. Loud noise above 120 dB can cause...

@Sklar: thanks for the honest advice! Wind just does not seem to be a viable option in SA. Now if I lived at a running stream and could but in a water turbine...

Has anyone tried a vertical windmill, it may be better for turbulent wind in developed areas?

@mygoggie Wow , that sounds great. Have you done this successfully? Did the visitors look after your house well?

@ MSAllen Thanks for sharing your experience. I was thinking of just a small windmill on my chimney. Does not have to generate massive power, 500 to 1000W would be fine. But it must be quiet, so those yacht types are out of the question.
