    DAC+AMP Advice for DT990 + Pre out

    I am looking to drive my 250 ohm DT990 which I use daily on my home setup (PC + Consoles). Currently they are plugged into the headphone out of a logitech 2.1 system and the source is the audio out from a dell monitor (so HDMI audio->3.5 mm stereo). I have an AudioGD NFB 11 (which will hit the...

    Denon 3310 Video Switching

    Seems my Denon 3310 somehow is not displaying any video inputs since this morning. I've done a microprocessor reset, unplugged everything that isn't need etc. The OSD and tuner works 100%. But none of the inputs are being switched to. Not even the Analog inputs. I might just be really tired...

    B&W 683 and HTM61 S1 or S2

    I have the b&w 683 (s1) which I bought a while back and have been wanting to get the matching center, HTM61. Now that they have revised the series, I'm worried that I might have matching issues if I get the HTM61 S2. That said though, a lot of research showed that many were not too happy with...

    Volume limiting a power amp

    I have B&W speakers (683 & htm61) being driven by a Rotel 1575. Using a Denon 3310 AV Receiver as a preamp. Speakers are rated 200w amp is rated at 250w.

    Amazon Stuffed Delivery

    I placed an order with Amazon for 3 Music books for piano (beethoven and mozart sonatas) - I fetched them on Friday at the post office and nearly had a heart attack. The box was not an amazon box but Typek paper box and was mangled as if driven over by a truck. The books are bent, doggy eared...

    LCD/PLASMA Wall Mount Bracket

    Where is the best place to buy a sturdy wall mount bracket for a 51" Plasma in Cape Town? I know all the shops that stock TVs will stock them, but I'm looking for any recommendations for a well made sturdy bracket. I'm thinking of this mount. Any better options?

    B&W DM603S3 & Magnetic Shielding

    I see a couple of ads about the B&W DM603S3 but I notice that they don't have magnetic shielding. I have an HTPC box right next to my current speakers (which are shielded) and a PS3 (with internal HDD) just under 30cm away. Would the 603s cause a problem with these devices considering the lack...

    Importing TVs

    Has anyone here imported a TV set from abroad? It really grinds me the price Audio Vision is charging for the 2010 P50V20 (R20999) when a new 2011 P50GT30 is $1499. My calc for importing is:   (30% on Price for duties) + (14% vat on (Price + 10%)) + shipping costs = 2180 + 444 = $2624 @...
