Hi, as far as I'm aware all is in order in Nelspruit and surrounds! There are no reports on Security Groups of any looting taking place in the surrounding areas. Fuel seems to be fine, everybody going about their normal business. Even the temperature is moderate! Good to live in the Lowveld! ;)

:thumbs: I fly, large scale, warbirds and jets! Shake like a leaf, but what the hell! :BWAHAHAH: Great fun, but can be expensive! Regards Eddie

Thanks, current quote is US$ 1648 delivered. How do I get hold of Willie?

I bought from HFX as used, but subsequently I saw that they had actually re-coned them. The voice coil over extended and jammed. I could move it back and it is currently still playing, but it is irritating the hell out of me. I am loath to support them again. I thus though I would rather get a...

Thanks for the reply. I have blown my current pair! :headbanger: I have managed to find a pair from The Speaker Exchange in the US, but was hoping for something closer to home. I don't know if any other woofer is comparable?

So, if I understand correctly. CD player's are unnecessary. Rather rip and use a DAC. Dedicated DAC and separate Pre amp? Or DAC/Pre?

Hi, I am a newby and need advice on components to consider for a stereo system. Budget R 100 000. I currently have a pair of Martin Logan Ethos Electrostatic Speakers. I prefer a bright tight sound. I live in Nelspruit, and will be able to audition in Gauteng. What products can I consider: 1. CD...

Thanks guys! I am in Nelspruit, thus auditioning is a mission. The current plan is (funds permitting of course): 1. BelCanto CD and Dac (Any other suggestions?) 2. Mark Levinson Pre? 3. Mark Levinson Mono Amps? I was considering a valve system from Schalk, but I am not sure I will get a clear...

I must say this post is disconcerting. I am a newbie, and need to make system decisions on some upgrades. I get the impression that you guys are implying that I will be wasting my time and money, changing my current LG CD player to a BelCanto CD2 transport or Oppo as there will be a slight...
