    Your best buys?

    We shall call you MarkL from now on... ;) Nice stuff man. Is that perhaps a 38S (not 32S)?

    Anyone close to Meyerton/Vereeneging?

    Know the guy (C.S), have bought and sold from him before. Great guy, definitely the honest type and very much into the hifi thing. He is actually a forum member although not a regular contributor.

    Your best buys?

    This is the one that got me hooked onto Accuphase. Had a 406V courtesy of HFX at my place some years ago for a short while, may even be the one you bought from Wayne.

    The worst shop in the world

    To me the worst shop in the world is Viglietti Motors. And second to them Fouche Motors in vdBijl. And then Daytona. Cause I can't afford the merchandise. :headbanger: ;)

    Cables- Is there a logical explanation ?

    Yeeees. I see it now. Our eyes are part of the experience. Removing it slows down the ears to stupid level. And.....we need to sit bias.....in other words, sit straight on both buttcheeks.... wink wink, just having fun Vaughan, actually thought your post was well written. My contribution...

    Cables- Is there a logical explanation ?

    No snake oil here.......only battery acid.. ;)

    Cables- Is there a logical explanation ?

    Jozua bud, I certainly understand what you are trying to say/ask here. I mean, perhaps no point in evaluating the subtle differences in cables on a Logik HTIB system. One should however be careful of playing the cost card here, something you perhaps did without harmful intention, but: - the...

    AVR vs Power Amp

    Agree with post #29, I also get the feeling the tail sometimes wag the dog. It is however something we sit with now, and is probably quite wide spread (i.e. speakers with difficult impedance, be it nominal or at certain loads/frequencies). And the prestige value associated with it (I have...

    Possible to drive B&W 804's with a Marantz SR6003?

    N804 - R13,000 - R16,000. I'm not a fan of these. 804s - R18,000 - R24,000 depending on age. Big fan of these, superb speaker for this kind of money. @ CAD, that R14k is quite a bargain, at least you made someone very happy, FWIW.

    AVR vs Power Amp

    So glad you are coming around. Tried your system without cables and heard the difference it made, ne? ;) By the same, I recall achieving incredible inky black backgrounds the other day when I tried my system without speakers.  :angel:

    AVR vs Power Amp

    Francois's recent experience is a case in point, even if the Kappa's are perhaps an extreme example. I do not for a second believe in the notion that an AVR can compete to a properly designed and well build dedicated amplifier, be it stereo or mono. Maybe one can exceed on the sonic abilities...

    Which side do you stand ?

    Analog  vs  Digital Valve    vs  solid state CDP      vs  external DAC - I use both Int amp vs  pre/power Not too firmly in each of these corners though, have certainly heard superb hifi's containing said striked through types. The choice is just the way I have ended up with my music...

    20yr old DAC vs the Latest DAC's?

    I am not firmly in either corner when it comes to old vs new DAC's. I've certainly heard some superb old ones, and perhaps not so many newer ones that impressed me. Have not heard Gert's Vivire so that's not included. So I tend to look at older stuff as serious alternatives especially at the...

    Badge Engineering....can we make a significant list?

    Nothing wrong with using a component from another manufacturer in your products. How many CDP's use Philips, Teac or Pioneer transports (as the above Theta). Nothing in this world wrong with that. Badge engineering IMO refers to the likes of Lexicon who took an Oppo, fancied the case and tried...
