Thank you. I was wondering about leaving the tube amplifiers on between listening sessions as I don?t always have 30 minutes to warm up the tubes. This answers my question spot on.

I understand that valves wear out but is this in relation to the volume of music going through it or do they wear out over time the same wether there is music going through it or not?

Thank you. I have a spare Raspberry Pi lying around so I definitely have my next project lined up.

I?m sure this topic is discussed regularly and answers will change as technology improves. I believe not al usb ports are created equally. Can anyone give me some advise as to what is the best wat to feed a digital signal to my SMSL M400? Mac? Pc? Mini pc? Do?s and don?ts? Best software Players?

I have aLinn Sondek LP12 that I want to restore and professionally set up again. I there anyone out there who you guys can recommend. I won?t mind if you recommend yourself :coffee:

Hi Guys. Do any of you know the Wharfedale Airedale W4's? I think it's from the 60's. I can buy a pair that's in a good working condition for a fair price but cannot find much info about them.

I stand corrected. They are Minima Amator speakers.

I bumped into a wood wizard a few months ago through the forums but lost his contact detail. He PM'd me and I will be popping by this morning. GECO, I will certainly bring the speakers around to your place if you want to try them on your system. I need some assistance with setup on the Linn...

Hi All, I'm not sure where to post this. I stumbled upon a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amators. They sound fine and the drivers seems to be 100% but the boxes have seen better days. I'm looking for someone who can restore the wood to it's former glory. I'm based in Pretoria but Jhb is also good...

I'm looking for a multi function remote that's eazy enough for my wife to use and powerfull enough for me. Is the Harmony One still the best option? Is'nt there something that does infra red, wireless and bluetooth from one remote?

I suppose the first reaction will be that it's a given. How can a $2k integrated processor compete with $12k+ separates but I'm not so sure anymore. The separate components are 4 and 9 years old. The MX700 is still a current model. I quite like the odd action movie once in a while but my main...

:BWAHAHAH: Not shure how long it will last but gave me a good laugh for a Monday.

Hey All, thank you for the great advice and pm's. I'm well on my way with a Linn Sondek LP12 and more records than Malema news articles.

Hi Mafioso, Thank you for the advice. I stay in Pretoria but travel to Cape Town quite often. Please pm me the details. I'd love to check in with him on my next trip to Cape Rown. Regards, Marius

I'm at that age where I'm getting nostalgic about everything that was great about the 80's. Got the arcade machine and now want to get a good turntable and vinyls. I have a pretty good setup but have no idea which way to go with vinyl. Any suggestions?
