Hi Guys, Is there any place in SA that sells replacement earpads for my Edifier W820BT headphones. A Google search returns a few local websites which I never heard of. Amazon comes in at about R600. Think I paid about R1000 for the headphones themselves so hoping to find a more sensible...

Hi All, I've read some of the threads here and picked up lots of useful information. My post refers to the Huawei Isitepower-M (similar to the Tesla Powerwall design) hybrid inverter/battery combo. I quite like the aesthetics and it could be a simple back to back installation with my DB...

Hi Guys, I have an Audiolab 8200CD for many years ago - bought specifically for CD duty. I had no interest in its DAC at the time. Fast forward a few years and its now primarily used as a dac. Its fed by a Yamaha streamer and MiBox. I have the itch again, and wondering what would be a logical...

Hi All, I intend replacing the electrolytics on a set of 40 year old crossovers. The original is 5uf 63v. I've found a replacement: 4.7uf 50v. I've read that, in electronics, the rule of thumb is to use higher voltage rating rather than lower. Does the same apply to a passive crossover? I did...

Hi guys, Att: Ematic owners Can anyone confirm if the Tidal app works on the Ematic box. Using a Mi Box in another setup with no issues. Just want to give the Ematic a try in another room ... i like that it has an ethernet port. Thanks

So.... my 8 month old seems to love reaching for my piano rosenut speakers in the lounge. He uses them to pick himself up to the standing position. Also seems to be fascinated with the centre speaker - all that E/energy!! Just so worried they may fall over and hurt him or he's gonna stick a...

Hi Guys, I've been increasing my usage of YouTube for live music performances/videos, etc. Currently, the audio travels from my smart tv via optical cable into my AVR - no problem, all good. Now i want to get the audio signal from my smart tv to a stereo amp. I've tried these two scenarios...

Hi Guys, I've been doing some upgrades on one my vintage amplifiers - banana plug sockets, IEC power connector, etc. I thought it would be a good opportunity to replace the small standard rubber feet with something better (both functionally and aesthetically). The amp weighs around 20kg's. Any...

Hi Guys, Is there anybody on the forum here that has experience with these amps (or someone you may know). I'm contemplating a recap and would like to speak to someone who's worked on these models before. Thanks

Hi All, My av receiver has a zone 2 preout (only). I want to use a power amp to drive my main speakers, using input from the zone 2 preout. The intended use is for movies, so i still require the processing effect for the front speakers. The receiver is an Onkyo TX-NR676. Has anyone here run such...

Hi All, This topic may have been covered before, but i couldn't find anything through the search. I am currently using a Sony bluray player to upscale bluray movies to 4K. My AVR does not have a built in upscaler. Are there any devices available which can upscale the Dstv signal to 4K...

Hi guys, this probably supposed to be in the Wanted section, but thought I could get some advice from the guys on the Vinyl page. My platter mat is done - anyone know if there are replacements available in SA. I read about cork or some other type...
