Hi, Just a quick update. Finally received the parcel today, so did arrive eventually (albeit 3 months late). Mike

Hi, just a heads up. Bought my son a Christmas present from the US (upgraded laptop ram). I saw DHL e-commerce as a shipping option which was way cheaper than DHL express. Long story short I am still waiting for the package to arrive (was due by 12 Jan latest). Turns out dhl e-commerce is a...

Hi My power amp?s 12v trigger input has stopped working. Not a train smash but would be nice to be able to operate the amp using the remote for my processor. Anyone know of somebody that could repair this for me in the broader Jhb area. Amp is out of warranty so don?t mind someone tinkering...

The damage ?seems? to be contained to the network port. I am no techie but the professor still sounds as good as always. Just can?t connect to my network. My network router was blown by the hit which I think then hit this down the line. Can?t test it fully yet unfortunately because my sub was...

Got this response from Emotiva last night. Restores my faith in their customer service somewhat. It comes down to how you respond in my view. Cathy Laufman replied: Dear Michael, I have received and reviewed the email from our distributor, Volco. Unfortunately, they do not have the expertise...

Agreed. Would rather just buy direct again. Especially since im likely to be paid out in cash by my insurer. Their service was always very good. I have informed them about the response from Volco so let?s see what they say. I have always found Emotiva to be reasonably helpful in the past.

I think I sold you one of your first emotiva products :) It is a pity because they are gray products at great prices when bought direct. The sad truth is I?ll probably get my insurance to scrap a good piece of equipment because they won?t bother to even look at it for me. I have send emotiva...

Having been a fan of emotiva equipment and owning an amp/processor combo I had the unfortunate situation of a lightning strike a couple of weeks ago and my processor as some minor damage. Long story short I approached emotiva who suggested that I contact their new distributor inSA (company...

Even better. It allows you to use the decoder in one room and the apple tv to watch DStv in the other eliminating the need to try and extend/split the satellite cables or do an hdmi extension. Great little device.

Hi, I have a PS3 slim which has t seen that much use but I think the laser is stuffed. Won't recognise any disk I put into it (dvd, game, or blu Ray). Spoke to the repair agents who don't actually repair units, they replace with a refurb unit for R1800. Anyone have this issue resolved...

Hi, anyone know who the quad agents are these days? I have a l-lite sattelige/sub system that is giving me some trouble. I know it used to be audiosure, not sure if they still are? I see a brand on their website called quad industrial but downs look like the quad brand I know. Thanks Mike

Pink floyd - shine on you crazy diamond part 1 and wish you were here.

Hi guys. Anyone know who in Jhb could repair my Cyrus 3 integrated amp? It's about 20 years old so not sure whether it's worth fixing. It works on and off. Once I get it working it works fine. However if the power goes down, when I power it up it starts acting up. Basically does nothing but...

Hi guys, my brother in law is having a problem with his onkyo, no longer shows up any Hdmi source. Looks like it keeps trying to handshake but nothing comes up. A bit of googling has brought up a lot of Hdmi board issues on this and the previous model(606), some of which seem to be able to be...

Have had an e-tag for about 2 years since they initially finished the gantries. Website was slow/down last week with the inevitable flood of last minute people who swore they would never buy an etag buying one. Pre-paid into my account this morning, checked my invoice, with detailed trip...
