Try this: a receiver with a built-in subwoofer. And not by Dixon or one of the other usual suspects. No, this was done by Yamaha (ignore the turntable on top of the receiver). 🤐

I saw this on Facebook, so I thought I'd share it here. It was part of an estate sale:

Hi guys Where could I get a new set of foam pads for the ears for my Grado SR125s? My old foams have disintegrated, so now they fit a bit ill. Or could they be DIY-ed by making something out of foam and material? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Deon

This question came up to me again following a discussion with Shamil about the M&K Sat speakers. He told me that these little bookshelves can go really loud, much louder than most bookshelf speakers that he knows (which made me happy again that I bought mine). That said, after the discussion I...

Now this is interesting. Jay introduces this, so here is the video: Scientist Finds Measurable Difference in HIFI Audiophile Cables And here is the link to the paper (in PDF form): An electrical study of single-ended analog interconnect cables

This kinda reminds me of @Agathon Sax.

Just when you think you've seen it all, this comes along: Wavetouch Audio - a speaker with tongues

I saw this idea on the Lenco Heaven forum (link below). TBH, I personally don't think this will work, but I defer judgement to other more knowledgeable members on the forum. Here are the pics accompanying the thread: And here is the thread: A Tonearm to Bemuse - It Must be Worth a Look In

I don't know if this has been mentioned on the Forum yet, but I just came across this on FB: Classic Japanese audio brand Onkyo files for bankruptcy Sad day indeed. :vsad:

Hi guys I have this GECO MM/MC board, but it looks nothing like the boards I have seen in the posts on the forum. All others are two separate boards, while this is a one-piece design. I need help with the components that come on the board. I do not have a diagram showing what comes where, so I...

Ok, this video by Danny Ritchie of GR Research kinda blew me away. I had watched him take apart and test several speakers, but this was by far the worst measuring of all I had seen (and that includes the little budget Sony). Have a look and give me your opinion. I'm kinda shattered, as I always...

Hi guys I need your help. I need the design plans for a corner horn sub. Years ago Chris (Templer) told me about the design, but I didn't have any free corners, so I didn't pursue it. I have seen a picture of a built one here on the forum, but for the life of me I can't find it. The cabinet...

Hi guys Here is a question for the whiskey aficionados. I went with a friend of mine to look at an old TV from a deceased estate (he bought it), and on the one chair lay a bottle of First Watch whiskey. The lady said that her dad won it in a fishing competition somewhere in the early to middle...

Good day guys I need some help here. I met a lady tonight that is selling her dad's old stuff. One of the items I saw was an old Eagle Transistor table radio. I want to know from the experts on the forum if this old radio is worth anything, and if so, how much. I am still struggling to upload...

Hi guys What is this old tuner worth, if anything. I bought it years ago at a charity shop, and have not even plugged it in yet. I want to know if it is worth trying to fix (if it is broken) and to try and source some buttons (it came as it is in the pics below). So now I need the advice of the...

Good day guys Who has contact with Mervin, one of the the AVForums South Africa Grand Masters. According to his profile the last time he was the forum was on 25 July this year. Can anybody put me in contact with him? Thanks, Deon

I saw this article on Facebook and I thought it was too interesting not to share. I know it does not get THAT cold down here in sunny South Africa, but it is still an interesting read: Neumann KH80 DSP Monitor Measurements #3

Hi guys I need help identifying a little satellite decoder. Someone chucked it away, and a friend of mine picked it up and brought it to me. I tried Googling it, but since there is no model number, I came up with naught. So now you are my last resort decoding the truth about this decoder. Here...

Good day fellow forumites I need some help for my brother. He has a pair of Sennheiser PC8 headphones, and the earphone foams have reached the end of their lifetime. They have torn due to old age, and now he wants to know how to replace them. Can anyone help or make a suggestion? He stays in...

I need help. I bought an amp but the potentiometer knobs are missing. The problem is that the shafts are sunken below the fascia. I have searched several places for knobs, but none of them have the collar that goes through the fascia (see pics below). I need help for a source, or just what...
