I went to see Dune on IMAX and really enjoyed it! Just got the 4k blu-ray from Amazon and watched it again, I think I enjoyed even more the second time round. The score is phenomenal... I know it's officially a 2021 release, so if we're splitting hairs, then maybe The Batman!

I binned my DSTV subscription a couple of years ago, quite happily, but recently experiencing some MotoGP fomo decided to subscribe to their streaming only option. What an absolutely horrendous service!! Laggy, kak bitrate and a new interface that's worse than the previous one! What are the...

There's always quite a bit of old kit being traded. With regards to speakers how old is old? I know tweeter technology has improved leaps and bounds over the decades. I'm considering a classic KEF 200C centre instead of a new KEF Q650C. The former is almost 25years old but is from KEF's...

Hi er'body! I need to place surround speakers (KEF Q350) behind our sofa on a server/console I know they should be placed more on the sides, but alas not possible. The problem is that the back of the speakers face the dining area and is a bit unsightly with the exposed cables. I need to come up...

I?m at my wit?s end! The audio just won?t work. Samsung Q80 Anynet+ has been enabled and sound output set to HDMI Cable is plugged into HDMI 3 Arc port AudioQuest Pearl 48gbps cable. Direction is towards the AVR (tried changing it, no difference) Denon X4700 ?TV Audio? source selected HDMI...

Hi everyone, What's the most convenient way/company to insure an amp being couriered from Cpt to Jhb?

I demo'd the B&Ws this week, I think driven by a Denon X6700 - beautiful! I'm hoping to demo the KEF package soon. What do you guys think? Both priced similarly just over 60k. KEF package: Q950 Floorstanders Q350 Surrounds Q650C Centre Cube 12 Sub B&W package: 603 S2 Floorstanders HTM6...

So? I?ve discovered my one beloved KEF LS50 has been dropped, no one knows a thing [emoji30]. Cone, tweeter and surround seems perfectly fine. Casing is cracked, banana plug broken. What to do? They still sound perfectly fine, but my heart bleeds every time I glance at the damage. Sent...

I've been trawling the forums and audio sites for home theatre options - there are plenty! But, where would be the best shop in Gauteng to demo or discuss the most viable options?

Hi! Anyone able to recommend an AAC, Bluetooth 5.0 receiver with optical out to connect to my Audiolab M-DAC. Using Tidal HiFi using an iPhone X. Audioengine B1 comes to mind, no output switch iFi Zen Blue digital/analogue out switch (2xUSB3.0) Bludento BLT-HD (USB5.0), no output switch either.

Hi gents, I'm looking for an appropriate streamer to bring my stereo system online wirelessly instead of using the Macbook > M-DAC. Should I replace the M-DAC or supplement the setup with a streamer? Side note: Sure this price is incorrect...

Hi everyone, I desperately need a solution. We're setting up three zones: two small auditoriums and a outside area at work. Is there a single amp that can control which inputs to send to the specific zones. We need multiple scenarios: 1. One presentation being sent to all three zones. 2. One...

I've been deliberating a new HT setup for the TV room but one of the key considerations has been my mischievous 2 year old. Initially I was looking at getting a HT receiver like the Marantz 5008 and 3 x KEF LS-50s but the risk is just not worth it. Imagine the horror of discovering your child...

Hi guys, My goal is to get my HT working seamlessly over a network. I plan on buying a WD 3TB My Cloud storage drive which will host the media files. This will hopefully circumvent having to rely on the media server being on (I hate leaving electronics running when they're not being used)...

I was wondering what options I had in terms of media streamers/servers that can be used without having to connect it to a Mac/PC. So external drive >USB> streamer/server >Optical> M-DAC I would use it primarily for music and it would be a real bonus if it would recognise iTunes albums (Apple...

Any petrol heads out there? It's the Isle of Man TT this weekend, although Supersport won't be showing it Live, look out for the Episodes 1 - 11 over the next week. This is definitely the most insane racing I have ever witnessed. It's already claimed the life of a Japanese rider earlier this...

I'm very keen to explore the world of true analogue  O0 ...without investing too much money until I'm convinced of a new found love or not. What would you suggest? Beg, borrow a TT and hook it up to my Valve Audio Exclame / KEF LS50s... or buy secondhand or even grab the demo AVSpecialists...

Anyone familiar with using Apple Remote and iTunes from their iPad/iPhone as a music streamer? I was looking at getting an Audiolab M-Dac, then stumbled across the Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6. I think the M-Dac is superior in terms of sound production but I was quite taken by the Stream...

I've been patient! I'm at the point now that I need to make a decision before I break down with Audiophile FOMO! Over the last few months everyone has been very helpful and forthcoming with advice etc. I think the patience has paid off because this week a pair of B&W 683s and the Valve Audio...
