Hi members In my lounge I'm using my TV connected to the internet as the source for almost all audio/video content. I really like the ARC feature on HDMI to scroll Netflix, YouTube and Spotify while changing the volume all done on the TV remote. I only care for 2.1 stereo. If I use a...

Hello All I'm currently paying R420 per month bank fees at FNB. This seems a bit high and would be R5000 for the year. What do you pay at other banks or have I said yes to a private/dedicated banker somewhere that I don't know about. Is R420 normal? Thanks JB

Hello all, long time (I blame Schalk and a few others because I have no reason to visit the classifieds anymore  :dance:) The left channel on my Cambridge Audio 640A V2 amplifier disappears now and then. Initially I thought it was a dirty volume pot because when you move the volume quickly the...

Hello people Been a while since I posted but too busy listening to music  :O0: So - I want to upgrade my car audio without breaking the bank or installing 12" sub woofers  :pleasant: All I want is quality as it sounds lame/muffled compared to everything else. It could just be the upgrade bug...

Hello Forumites So most of us know that to get the best sound is to have your listening position in the perfect triangle to your speakers. In the "Get Better Sound" book it mentions that you should sit a bit further away from your speakers. I can't remember the exact calculations now but I...

Hello guys The Gyro SE has been around for a couple of years but after reading a bit it seems like it is one of the best value for money turntables you can buy new out there. I can't really afford one but if I had R22 000 spare I would probably go for it. This is quite a lot of money for a...

Hello fellow vinyl listeners Quite a few of my friends want to get into the world of vinyl now that they see LP's selling at Look and Listen etc. (Oh and after listening to my system .... :O0:) Turntables are easy to find on the forum and most of them have turntables already that they...

Hi Guys Is it common or possible for the right channel to stop working from a cartridge? I traced it down to the cart because the phonostage will play for hours from a MC burn in CD. I don't think it's the wiring inside the table because when I touch the right channel wire with tweezers by the...

Well not so much if it's worth anything but a friend asked me to get it playing again. It was her grandfathers record player and obviously there is a sentimental value for her. But is it worth it to really make this record player shine again? She said if it's a cheap player then she'll consider...

Hi All Where do I buy cartridges in Pretoria? Somewhere with decent prices. Or is it easier to buy online. Any suggestions? Looking for a AT95e (new or almost new) Thanks

Hi Guys Just thought I'll share this. Changed the opamps on my Cambridge Audio 651p from NE5532 to LM4562 and the difference was quite huge. Normally A/B listening tests (maybe blind too) are the only way I can hear small differences but bliksem this made a difference. I can't believe that it...

Hi Everyone Went to the show last night and it was awesome. Good sound quality and what a performance. Those of you that missed it missed out big time. I must be honest RHCP is not in my top 10 bands of all time but now I know why they have been around for many many years. What a band with...

Hello all, I just got into playing vinyls and after a bit of research I cleaned one of the second hand LP's I bought in a shop. I used the brush suggested on this forum with the 1 liter distilled water, isopropyl alcohol and 2 - 5 drops clean green mix. I then vacuum through a similar brush with...

Ok so I'm just about to enter the world of vinyl and started looking at recordsI want. I know some go for almost nothing second hand but lets say I want Pink Floyd - Darkside of the Moon brand new. Will I have to pay R400 ? I see some others are a bit more than that. It looks like I have to keep...

Hi Everyone, let's talk about some great albums. From Vinyl to CD to tape to digital, whenever it was (even if you don't listen to it often anymore). I'm not talking about albums with one hit wonders. It's that album you start on track 1 and you listen to the last and say WOW! That album that...
