    New TV Recommendations

    Hi guys. I didn?t want to start a new thread, so I?ll put this here. Do any of you know what the audio quality of the optical output is like on the Q6fn? The reason I ask this is because I have all my hdmi sources connected to my tv and then an optical cable from the tv to my amp (Marantz...

    So I upgraded my line speed to 20mbps ftth last week. I noticed a big improvement in Netflix 4k content where it?s much sharper and less grainy. I suspect the stream is compressed on slower line speeds. However YouTube content still buffers. Granted not as frequently as it did on 10mbps but it...

    Do you have a 20mbps line? Would that be sufficient for 4k/hdr? More so YouTube 4k? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mine seems to be stable at 7.63mbps with spikes to 9.43 every now and then. I?m not sure what audio format is being streamed because I?m running a stereo setup. But when I set the audio output on the tv to Dolby digital I don?t get any sound through my amp via optical so I?m assuming I?m getting...

    Cool thanks. Didn?t know about the info button. I?m testing it out now on Netflix. It?s saying 7.63mbps/2160 so I assume it?s steaming in 4k? Like you say its not blowing me away though. Picture looks very grainy. YouTube buffers every 5seconds with 4k content. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So my tv is all set up:) one thing that is a bit disappointing though is the lack of media support when playing files from a hard drive. Apparently the tv doesn?t support dts codecs so 90% of my movies play without sound when I try to play them through the tv directly. I didn?t know this...

    So I picked up the 55Q6FN today. It was going for the same price as the NU8500 at makro this weekend so I grabbed it. Will most likely only set it up once I move into my new place hopefully later this month:) Thanks for all the advice given[emoji1360] Do you guys have any recommendations...

    So I went to Dion wired and saw the 55Q6FN. It?s about R2k more than the NU8500 which is a bit more than I?m willing to spend, but how do the 2 stack up against each other? Is the qled worth the extra R2k? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Howsit guys I am in the process of purchasing a new house and will need to get a new tv within the next month or so before I move in. So the lounge isn't very big, maybe around 3.5x3m with a small open plan kitchen, patio door at the back and a large window on the side. The TV will mostly be...

    Airplane Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I have the PX and just used them for the first time on a flight too and from JHB earlier this week. In flight mode (highest ANC setting) the Px's block out a significant amount of about 70-80% of the engine noise, but I could still hear a dull drone from the engines at 40-50% volume. I could...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Wireless ANC Headphones

    So I bought this case from Amazon based on a recommendation on head fi: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKQN2RX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UkbDAb24NBHW0 The quality is really good, and it has a kind of soft velour like lining on the inside. Came with a lanyard and leather like bag as well. Although they...

    What are your thoughts on the SQ and comfort of these? After checking out reviews of all the others, I keep coming back to these.

    Best wireless in ear?

    I have been looking into this as well. Although I don't have any first hand experience with any of them; these are what I gather to be the best based on online reviews: Jaybird Freedoms - https://www.takealot.com/jaybird-freedom-special-edition-bluetooth-earphones/PLID48110017 Jaybird X3 -...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Wireless ANC Headphones

    So 1 month in and these headphones seem to have really opened up :) The bass appears more pronounced than before. It's punchier yet still remaining tight and controlled, however they are by no means bass heavy. I am amazed at the amount of detail that comes through. Every single instrument is...
