    Scubadude's 8kW Solar Installation

    And as you guessed, the "use timer" box was'nt checked, apparently as directed by the distributor :facepalm:. So now we seem to have the source priority (solar, battery, grid) sorted. But the system is not replenishing the batttery in full from the grid. SoC sitting at 70% with no inflow into...

    Scubadude's 8kW Solar Installation

    Apologies if this topic has already been covered, but I'm too frustrated to do the search. I recently had a Sunsynk 8kw inverter and 2 Pylontech UP5000's installed, together with some JA panels. The pv array is nowhere close to meeting the total demand, but I thought I could save a few bob on...

    Amp behaving badly

    Sorry guys. This thing has gone all pear-shaped. I'm simply looking for somebody that would be interested in checking out the equipment. And Andre told me its not really his thing but advised as above. But I'm just thinking rather than attempting this myself it would be better to have the deck...

    Amp behaving badly

    Thanks, but believe me, this is one of those times when its just better to throw money at someone that actually knows what he is doing.

    Amp behaving badly

    Hi Tom's Sansui 555 has developed a "weird noise" (I assume through the speakers and not the amp itself) when he powers-down the Lenco. Looking for somewhere in greater Cape Town area where he can have it checked-out? Thanks.

    single vs 3 phase electricity

    Rodney I'm a bit of a nit picker so most of the safeguards are in place, very detailed OTP/contract, own transfer atty's, and i still have a sizeable chunk of the purchase price in my pocket. But the seller is showing the entire process the finger. So I'm holding-up the transfer. I would prefer...

    single vs 3 phase electricity

    Would really appreciate some help on this one. In the process of buying a property. Not sure why I got myself into this one, but anyway... Its actually a conversion of a very old house with the electrical installation looking extremely dodgy. Even i know it should not resemble the back of my...

    Waterhond's restoration of my ex AR XA

    Great job. What did you guys use on the platter? In a rush of blood got myself an old Thorens, generally in good nick but for the blotchy platter. Seriously irritating waiting for the darker patches to come round. Thanks.

    YE OLDE FAITHFVLL GIUES VP GHOSTE

    @Mervin, is "clicking sound" worse? HD on PVR packed-up on sunday and its making "that" sound when powering-up. Whacking did'nt help, but I needed to vent after dealing with the call centre agent. I was hoping the clicking sound is hardware (mechanical) related and can be sorted?

    Quietest Split Aircon

    What made me decide to rather spend the money on audio equipment was the cost (and schlep) of running a dedicated line from the db panel (which is way on the other side of the house)? Is this really required or was the guy just looking to help out his electrician boet?

    Proper support for Turntable

    and no, i dont live next to or over the underground. though the neighbours think the house wont look out of place next to the tracks.  the vibrations usually kick in just before they call the police. problem is that i got into the annoying habit of listening out for it. just went down into the...
