    LG TV Picture Quality Issue

    G'day, A year ago I bought the LG 65 inch I think 65UN7000 series UHD tv.  I am very happy with this TV, so this year when I needed to replace a 15 year old power surge written off plasma tv, I thought I would go the same route.  I assumed getting the same series, but being the newer model...

    Hifi Slush Fund

    So the last couple of weeks I had to start getting rid of hifi kit that wasn't being used as often as it should, or not at all.  Most of it was a rather emotional experience, as much of it had sentimental value in one way or the other.  But I convinced myself that at least to someone else it...

    Braai room audio ideas

    Good evening, I recently had a wall between my study and "stoep" broken out and had a braai built in.  The room (28m2) is a nice blank canvas at the moment, but next steps I feel I need to get my ducks in a row with regard to what goes where (cabling etc.), before ceiling and painting.  It is...

    Noise pollution - Neighbors parrot

    Good afternoon all, Every morning at between 5:45 and 6:15 the neighbor takes her parrot and places it on their porch...which is right next to our bedroom window.  The thing then starts with its hellish screaming.  This goes on and off until about 6:30 at night, when they take it inside again...

    FNB Mobile - Anyone using them

    Good afternoon, I am considering porting to FNB mobile.  Long story, but I don't have Vodacom reception at home, so they have allowed me to exit my contracts without penalty. So would just like to get a general idea of the FNB product.  From what I can see they have the best packages to cater...

    Origin Live Aurora - Arm selection

    On the Origin live Aurora, I now have the choice of either the standard OL 1 arm(RB250 with weight upgrade), or my Moth 301 with weight upgrade and incognito wiring.  Could also transfer the wiring upgrade to the OL 1?? I understand the 250 with upgrade weight is superior to the 300's, but with...
