Two users in this very thread have already reported the same, as do many others online. Yet you somehow know better. Without bringing a shred of information, research, observation, or experience to the table to constructively discuss or disagree. And you seem incapable of keeping an open...

Thank you for this and 100% agree. Your post triggered a memory. It was in fact an older Tice Power Block that I tested in my system. And that was the item that didn't work well for me. Tried to edit the post, but couldn't. I had extensive conversations with Wayne about trying a Furman at the...

I have been asking myself why I feel the need to respond to these posts. There was a time when I was younger and much less experienced with audio stuff. I am now older and have a folio of my own experiences. Over the years I have found some valuable input here. And so I was happy to share my own...

On my system, in my home, which was connected to the grid where I used to live, it absolutely was a factually accurate description of what I observed. The shorter collective name for that is "MY EXPERIENCE". Which I made perfectly clear at the beginning of my post. Just in case it wasn't...

Edit: In terms of TV picture quality, the first thing I said in my post, which was freely given to a question freely asked, is “in my experience”. I’ll leave that there. And yeah, in terms of ASR: As I said elsewhere on this forum, anything the folks on ASR hate, I seem to love. I use my eyes...

Happy to share my experience. I tried a Furman power conditioner once. It was the cheaper one that is more recommended for its surge protection. Initially I thought that it improved the sound. Sounded more detailed and cleaner. Then, as it settled, we (did this with a friend, and we both heard...

Almost as bad as vinyls

I tend to find that I enjoy anything that the ASR "scientists" do not like. Last time I checked, I use my eyes to interpret charts and my ears to hear, maybe that has something to do with it. And I don't know how they could even begin to castrate you. You need a pretty big pair to make any...

I support the advice to get the Wiim Pro. The Pro Plus is great if you want to use its onboard DAC. I haven't heard its DAC, but you have an external DAC, so that functionality is superfluous (unless you are planning to sell the Theta). I bought a Wiim Mini and sent it back the next day. The...

I didn't really have a choice. I actually wanted a write-off and pay-out, because for safety reasons I had already resolved that I didn't want the same car anymore. But insurance's decision was to repair. And the repairers did do a good job, so I can't really fault them for the decision. I...

Depends how you look at it. In my case, the car wouldn't have been recovered without the device. That additional damage (of having to replace the entire vehicle) would be spread across policyholders who would all need to pay higher premiums. Multiply that out across all cars and all incidents...

I have a bit of recent first-hand experience. I've had the cheapest Beame (Matrix) in several vehicles over several years. My car was stolen last year, and recovered less than two hours later after calling it in. The perps caused well over R200k's worth of damage to the interior of the car to...

I missed this completely. This is such sad news. Mike was a great human being, and I enjoyed every single interaction we had over the years. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I can second this - especially the Pro 2. I had the original Pros until they were economically redistributed along with my car. The Pro 2 are better. A lot better. They sound amazing with music. Detail, emotion, bass - they are just plain fun to listen and compare very favourably to my desktop...

.... Thank you for this. Just checking if ASC was meant to be ASR? I skim-read the original article because it was so awfully written. And largely glanced at the rest of the conversation, and have nothing useful to add. But my favourite bit was in the ASR post. Where they asked whether...

I don't think the situation changed much at all in your analysis. These are clearly all value-for-money speakers. The SA pricing is actually remarkable. 4 out of 8 are substantially cheaper than the US prices. The difference on the other 4 is (except for the Q) less than 20%. If the local...

If you want something, you stay in touch. You send contact details, and ask for banking details. Or at least ask if the item can be held for X number of days. Saying "I'll take it" with no further follow-up creates no obligation on the seller, I'm sorry. I'm sure there are many ways to...

In Stock Blue Note

We’ve been using a 55” LG (55UH603V) since 2017, and we’ve been really happy with it. So much so that it’s turned me off Samsung - because I find their colours unnatural to my eyes. We are thinking of going a bit bigger, 65” is perfect for our room. But the choices are insane. I don’t want to...

Quick update, and thank you for all the responses. I looked at the Fiio R7, but the form factor doesn’t work for me, and I don’t need the headphone section. And even if they could surely sound amazing, I didn’t feel like fiddling with Pi’s and endlessly configurable bits. I did find an...
