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...

I know the best answer to the upcoming question is "listen and compare", but I'm hoping some members have some experience with more than one of these. I am looking to get a single streamer & DAC for my main system. I don't want to split streamer and DAC at this stage - this is a secondary...

I might soon be moving back to an office, so am starting to think about how I can repurpose some kit. I have an iFi ZEN DAC v2 for my home office, which I love. Before playing with more expensive (or any!) additional kit, I want to understand properly how things work. So I'm hoping someone...

Any experience with the M-DAC? As a DAC and/or headphone amp? I can get one at a good price, but don't know if or how much much better it will be than the iFi ZEN DAC v2 I'm currently using. I've read that it's USB input is inferior to the other inputs - and this is what I'll be using. Keen...

Hi, does anyone have good recommendations for a sensible balanced cable upgrade for Sennheiser HD600? I would love to try pentaconn jack of my ZEN DAC with a different cable. And a nod of respect to Guillaume - he would've been my first call to ask the question. I don't want to spend a...

I have been absolutely loving the iFi ZEN DAC, so I figured that an upgrade from v1 to v2 would be a sensible upgrade for low cost. Francois very kindly assisted with the upgrade, so it has been an easy switch. I can report that the v2 offers a subtle upgrade over the v1. But... that's when...

I find that Tidal keeps pausing when I'm streaming music. It happens in both HiFi and Master quality modes. It just stops - the music pauses, and the little wheel spins. Sometimes it resumes, and sometimes it doesn't. This happens while my internet connection is absolutely fine (fibre -...

Anyone know which web sites are good and who is best to avoid? I was trying to get onto audiomart's web site - but after mailing them, I see they are being liquidated, which is terrible. There are many who sell headphones... audiohead.co.za is another, but I have no idea who are good?

I recently acquired an ifi ZEN DAC, and I use it with a pair of Sennheiser HD598SE headphones. It sounds really good, and I prefer this to my wireless noise cancelling headphones (PXC550). I have upgraded the stock cable (to Tributaries Series 6), already use the iPower power supply, and...

Hi, a friend of mine (not a forum member) has an Onkyo AVR. It's an older model, TX-SR506, and it stopped working after one of Eskom's post load shedding surges or something. He is not keen to send it all the way back to Joburg - does anybody know somebody who would be willing and able to look...

So I managed to lose my iphone 6 yesterday... It was shut off in minutes, so I presume someone somewhere is happily using it as we speak. I cannot afford a brand new phone, but need to get something. Willing to spend a little bit on a 6 or 6S, because I will have future use for it once my...

Hi, any recommendations for good and very comfortable (for long flights, for example) noise-cancelling headphones? The Bose QC-15 seems to be a reference. Any others, and maybe in a lower price range? What would be a good price for the QC-15? I currently use the AKG K490 NC, but keen to know...

In my study, I've been using an ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card, playing into a NAD C316BEE with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.1s. And I love this setup! But I've had to remove the sound card, because it was too close to my new graphics card, so it caused terrible noise when the fans on the...

I just got my Explora working, after complete fail of the Pace 4 tuner HD PVR (it just showed 100% full playlist and wouldn't allow me in to delete anything...). My question is: On the HD PVR, you had discrete choices between fixed and variable audio output (I used variable), and you could then...
