    When you rely on help that does not happen.

    It does actually. The original Bryston remote. I'll post the pic of it today.

    When you rely on help that does not happen.

    Just putting it out there that it is really painful when one asks a fellow forumite to help sell a valuable item but one gets kicked in the knees. Unit possibly not working. Remote possibly gone. Can't get a hold of forumite for weeks at a time. Not naming and shaming. Just saying it hurts -...

    Impact on AV Sales due to current economic environment?

    Kolakidd Thank you for your insights. Very valuable indeed. I believe that the causal trend of the middle class getting poorer will more and more manifest itself in a majority of the middle class not able to balance/service their debt and have the luxuries of groceries and fuel. This all...

    Impact on AV Sales due to current economic environment?

    Hi Gents What are your experiences over the past 4 months regarding the rate of sales of used AV equipment? I am experiencing a significant reduction in activity. What would you reckon the reasons are? Obviously first suspects are the utility and energy prices together with the hiked...

    Comprise/Sacfrice...?

    In Std 7 (yes, I am that old, I drooled over the high-end of hi-fi. At that time, to me, the CX and MX with a pair of M1000N's or Infinitiy IRS Gamma's were on my "to die for" list. Pehaps substituting with some Nakamichi (blank) where appropriate. The chaps from that time will obviously fill...

    Yamaha CRX-M170 CD player service?

    I had a Yammie tsx-130 desktop system. The unit is modular. The cd player inside is a Sony. Same as yours. You can try Balanced Audio in Jhb, or I guess any knowledgeable Sony or Yamaha techie.

    Voltage 2000

    Listening to a playlist and up comes Hazel Dean with Who’s leaving who? And my memories involuntarily jump back to Voltage 2000, a mobile disco that frequented Pretoria and Jhb garage-, house-, venue- and event gigs from the mid 80’s to the mid 90’s. (Their setup worked at the time because...

    Being a bit of a mediocre average chap, I settle and actually enjoy the Oirish whiskeys. Jameson in particular. From entry level to the top. I figure it?s better to actually enjoy a drink and not pretend that I like perusing turpentine in my mouth. Yuck. But to each his own - I always say. I...

    Is a power conditioner worth it?

    The origin of my original Q was not really directing at surge protection, although I do appreciate every bit of advice. Thanks again. Thing is, our grid feed is so unstable that, apart from the fridges and alarm system, we leave everything unplugged and only plug it in when used. Inconvenient...
