    Gas vs. Induction Hobs

    My 2 cents… I have cooked with gas most of my life - In residential and commercial settings. My first gas hob was an OLD horrid POS. In my next home I made sure that the gas hob was brand new and had enough burners of different sizes so that I could pot-match the size of the burner easily. It...

    Tequila Suggestions

    Herradura?s sub brand El Jimador is not bad - head and shoulders above the more established low end drivel from Olmeca, etc.

    Rotel RB1090

    Ten years ago I bought three from three separate people. Prices varied from R10000 - R16000. Recently it seems they are selling for R16000 - R20000 if memory serves me from ads I have seen.

    Converting speaker level (High level) outputs to Line level (Pre-out) outputs

    I need some help please... I recently bought a Sonos AMP, the latest generation unit. It has the capability of functioning as a streamer and has a power amplifier built into it. I bought it to work with a pair of Sonus Faber Standmounts and it worked perfectly. Recently I had the opportunity to...

    Cables again - some more explanations...

    So what is your 2020 AV / HiFi upgrade plans?

    Such an interesting topic. 2020 Will bring at least two new homes in our transition state to ?new casa? Most items will be in storage until late 2020 or 2021. I suffered from ?let everything go? syndrome, but have realised that it doesn?t work that way. So most of 2020 everything will be in...

    Audiophile on a budget

    My reply might get me a kick in the balls, so I will put on the cup so long...  The world seems to be moving away from hifi separates. Unless you want to spin the black discs or the sliver discs, why not consider something that does it all? I have had Sonos products for a long time as...

    The Coffee Thread

    Seems to be from circa 2006. Manual here: http://www.usersmanualguide.com/manuals/zanussi_aeg_electrolux_parkinson/U23287.pdf It seemingly has the basic building blocks of being able to make a decent cup. Grinder specs not evident except for being able to do about 1 gram/second, but it doesn?t...

    Sous Vide

    I bought the Anova two years ago and cannot recommend it enough. It has worked in my restaurant daily for 18months of that time, used by different people of different skill level and continues to function perfectly. Anova does not ship to South Africa anymore, but they do still manufacture the...

    dan patlansky & guy buttery

    Very cool show indeed! We were also sat down in the middle towards the back of the "sandpit". I liked the sound setup, very intimate in a way and not that typical loud big concert sound. I have seen both these gentlemen performing seperately and my oh my, when I heard that they were...
