    Cape Town Audio Expo 15-17 September

    Blown away by Lance’s turn tables and Sonor Audio speakers. The quality of these local SA products is amazing.

    Help with replacement for Mede8er

    Hi I have been out of the loop for a while as I took a step back from the constant upgrade and research to just enjoy my music with what I have. However, my trusted Mede8er remote no longer works and getting up the whole time to skip /select tracks is a pain in the knees. I am looking for...

    Best Value for money Dslr Camera Under 5k

    Hi For your sake, I hope the photography bug doesn't bite, because it can get expensive  ;). In SA, there are really four options for DSLR, namely Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fuji. However, there is a reason why Canon and Nikon are the most seen brands in SA, although Fuji is making some serious in...

    DAC warmup?

    Shiit's also recommend that there DAC stays permanently on. I actually never believed in burn in (and all that voodoo stuff) because I never ever heard a change. But I must say the Shiiits did seem to change after being on for a couple of hundred hrs. It now stays on

    Black Widow.

    Schalk is an absolute gentleman and his service is way above and beyond. Recently he did some tweaks to my Genesis (that I bought 3 yrs ago) because he felt that he could improve things so that it intergrates with my system better. This required the pre to be sent from CT to Pretoria and back...

    What can make or break a HT set-up if used for stereo (not high-end)

    I guess it is personal preference. I actually really like the presentation of the PCM 1792 DAC chips in my AVR.

    What can make or break a HT set-up if used for stereo (not high-end)

    I have a Yamaha AVR with Burr Brown 1794 chips that does pretty well in pure direct mode.  What it lacks in clarity/openness (compared to what I consider to be a fairly rated stereo system in the same room) it makes up for in musicality. If one just forgets about listening to the system and...

    Schitt YGGDRASIL... anyone had any experience with it?

    :banned: Unfortunately I am not one to do audiophile write up's on products. All I can say is that I don't think it has a sound signature (very neutral), digs deep into the content and plays the details and red book CD's sound close to hi-res files when both fed through the DAC. Hope that helps

    Music server / source question

    Schitt YGGDRASIL... anyone had any experience with it?

    It is bigger than I thought. Similar in height and width to my CA 840 CD player. Not quite as deep. Hope that helps. I will post some pics when I get a chance. M
