Hi all I'll be moving to the states soon and,  jn new york , space being the premium it is , I won't have a room with a door that closes to keep cats and kids away. My current solution for there is a B&W airplay speaker or an Altec Lansing 650 Octiv which is a step away from the power amp...

At some point i thought I heard a difference between the 2 speakers,  but then listen again and shrugged it off ( one came across as slightly louder ) but being garage speakers.  I didn't spend too much time worrying about it Fwd a few years, the time has come for me to sell. When I can't...

I will not mention the place by name, but it is one of the 2 franchised 2nd hand shops in South Africa. I arrive this afternoon, browse and see nothing really before making my way to the CDs. I see 16 old box computer games, one of which even consists of 4 5.25 inch floppy disks. I grab them...

I see the term "Audiophile" used to describe certain people - what is it with these Stereotypes?

Hi all, I have a balck pair of Monitor audio silver 4i speakers that have a few nics here and there. I basically want to give them a light sanding where they need it, and paint them balck again. What paint does one use here? I've seen that lacquer tends to lift veneer during the drying...

... Just like Aiwa, JVC, Tekefunken and Sansui. Ford's had them as standard in their higher spec cars in the 90s. My dads Sapphire 3.0 IRS had one, the Falcons, TX5s etc also had them and back then they were rather good. BMW had them as standard in the e36 before they changed to the better...

Hi all, I have an old friend form school who had this marantz 1030. It has a blown channel which was repaired, lasted a couple of years then blew again. What would this be worth as it is? Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Mr Ramaphosa said yes Mrs Zuma said no Mr Ramaphosa then also said no. Reminds me of when I asked my mom for something as a kid, she said no so I aksed my dad who said yes then my mom would have a talking to my dad and they'd both say no. I've ordered and received my tabacco seeds, 200 of...

A couple of years ago, I saw this rather sad looking JBL Onbeat rumble on the "no warranty" table at a cash convertors. "it's not working because the plug where the power supply plugs in is broken" they said. It also never included a power supply. Anyway, got the price to R600 for this "non...

I heard a pair of these today... Connected to a Yamaha ax350 integrated amp. These are more detailed than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect them to do bass due to their size but they do not sound like they go down to 65hz as the frequency reposnse figures suggest(65hz...

Stress levels are high The country is a mess at the moment with only those waiting for free handouts after the "revolution" having a (if somewhat delusional) positive outlook for the future here. People have shorter fuses as a result of many things on their minds(i know I'm one of them) People...

Hi all, I have a Nivio stereo receiver and TT. I'm thinking of ditching the AVR and using this as a pre amp to my rotel RB985. The one channel has a little distortion and it's the feed from the preout that is causing it. The amplifier section is fine as I've tested different stuff into the...

Over the years I have experienced and owned various jamo speakers in the from of a few sattekite speaker sets, s506 and s608. All of the above left me with the impression of these being average and a little expensive for what you got in terms of sound quality. I have ofcoarse heard the d590...

Parts acquired 1 pair B&W MR150 8 ohm drivers 1 pair Seas h225 8 ohm tweeters Intention 2 way build crossing the tweeter at 5 or 6 kHz (probably 6) and using a 2nd order 12 dB butterworth crossover design. I do have quite a few inductors lying around, mostly in pairs so hoping to adjust...

Ok , so here goes I bought 1 Yamaha J5002 speaker. Releasing that I won't find another , I have an idea . I have a 40w rms mono amplifier for car subwoofer that can be set to full range. I also have a very small chip amp I bought from China. The Yamaha will go into the mono amp and to get...

So, I received a lovely Schneider DCS8025 stack Hifi some time ago. It is apparent that the plastic was a little brittle but after swopping some panels from the cosmetically good but non functioning tape deck , I had tuner , pre-amp and power amp that worked well and looked good as did the...

I know very little a our these. Was told by the guy I bought them from that they came in with a system from Germany. No markings anywhere. These for their age and size sound quite good and seem to be quite sensitive as well. Tweeter is a paper cone one. Can anyone ID this ? Pics to.follow

Forgive me Philips for we have sinned, by we , I mean the people who fitted 2 universal 8 inch drivers as replacements and then painted the drivers black to hide the orange surround foam. So this weekend I picked up a pair of Philips 484 speakers. Once I got home, I realised that it did not...
