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...

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...

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

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...

HI, I have seen lots of reference to the old express as being , in some way , better than the gen 2. What's the story here? I have an old gen 1 and wondering if there is something different i should be doing with it.

Have a strange situation at the moment where my mac is dropping its connection to my wifi network every now and then. Using a mac mini (3 months old) and a 3 year old Belkin N router. My first instinct is that the Router is to blame but it supposedly comes with a life time warranty so would have...

Reports this morning that Oscar Pretorious shot and killed his girlfriend this morning.

In the market for a new TV, and have noticed that all the current advertised specials for Samsung and Sony 40" LEDs are models that can only be found on Indian web sites. Can't help thinking that we are being shipped cheaper goods to keep the prices down. any thoughts?

Anyone using LTE yet successfully? if so, which provider are you using and what sort of speeds are you getting? Thinking of trying out the new Vodacom offering as a solution to my pathetic telkom line speeds (<1mb/s)

Any one know of any decent HD video editing software that is available as freeware/shareware? Something along the lines of Photoscape which is brilliant for photos. Dont need anything fancy, just simple editing and burning to Blu ray. Also, is it just my computer or is HD editing extremely...

HI Guys, Hoping one of the electricity Gurus here can help. I have spot light bulbs throughout my house, i.e. the normal screw in spot bulbs (not the low voltage downlights). Problem is that I am going through light bulbs far too often. My bulbs are sometime lasting me less than a month (We...

hi, anyone used the above router? or perhaps know if it works with the latest Vodacom dongle? the compatibility sheet I found on the web does not list that dongle, but wondering if its worth a try anyway. Alternatively I could buy the TPlink instead, but again, the dongle is not listed on the...

Hi guys, I am currently using what was a great player, the Marantz CD 72 MkII, that I have had for about 12 years. At the moment , I am very happy with it but wondering if i am missing out on something. Been reading up on the Emotiva ERC-2, and trying to get a sense of how much technology has...

Just measured my TV unit for a new TV. As it turns out, a 37" would just fit while the 40" would be too big. However, it appears that all the major TV manufacturers that used to make 37" TVs have stopped.....damn frustrating!

Hi Guys, wonder if any of you know of a good wifi router that I can plug a Vodacom 3G dongle into? I don't want a standard router that I put the sim-card into because they are not as fast as the current 3G dongle. Does such a router exist? thanks

Any of our "gurus" have any experience with these?  I get the sense that it is a glorified multi-plug. Anyone know if there is any noticeable benefit from using one? Emotiva have just reduced there prices on these substantially. http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/accessories/products/cmx2
