    Gauteng Hi-Fi Guild

    I think it is a great idea to have a guild ! I think it would be necessary to have a chairman and/or comittee to take the lead and organize events. I think this is the reason that the current Jhb Hifi Club is not as succesfull as it could be. The rest of the members can then contribute and...

    What speaker coud this be ?

    So I purchased these speakers and am almost finished restoring both. They have Seas H086 tweeters and Seas 21f-ewf woofers. These where built locally by Hifi-Installations. They look very much like a sealed version of a Fried Model A speaker. They sound really nice and pleasant to listen to...

    What speaker coud this be ?

    Thank you for the recommendation. I think I will take a small integrated amplifier and test them out thoroughly. Will also take a multi-meter as you prescribed.

    Seems to be a Seas H-086 tweeter with different mounting plate, woofer not sure, resembles some AR models and KLH17 woofer, surround could have been replaced at some time

    What speaker coud this be ?

    If worthwile they could be restored. Will be tested before purchase. No point in buying if any of the drivers are shot. The cosmetic damage can be repaired to a good extend

    Emigrating pets to New Zealand

    I have a friend emigrating to New Zealand. He has a cat he wishes to take with. Their rules are that the cat needs a rabies vaccination for 6 months before being allowed to go. Anyone have experience with this, or could have made a plan expediting it ?

    Used Volvo's: safe to buy?

    My father has n V50 T5. Lovely driving car and great engine. Definitely had some maintenance needed. Later 2000 models share a lot of parts with Ford models like the Focus. With the V50 and that engine suspension wishbones work rather hard Have a XC60 D5 myself and very happy with it. Got it...

    Vodacom Lte

    I am looking for internet options for my home and considering Vodacom LTE. 10-20 Mbps is enough for me. My home is of the grid so power is not a worry How does loadshedding effect the signal of the LTE for those using such internet. My phone seems to hold up pretty well. I do not have access to...

    Bypass Capacitors recommendation

    I know GR Research advocates them on their higher end options Otherwise all I can say is there is a marked difference having them installed vs not. This is with decent poly caps. Could be due to sound difference from different brands

    Bypass Capacitors recommendation

    I would like to recommend Audyn bypass caps as per image as a great en inexpensive way to improve the sound of your speakers I recently redid a set of crossovers for a set of Jamo CBR1702 with some nice quality parts, the end result seemed a bit rolled off compared to the electrolytic caps. I...

    Stax Headphone Pads Moving [Fix]

    Drove me crazy as well. Really took a lot away from the premium sound Perhaps L300 pad or so could also be fixed with double sided tape ? Not sure how they mount to their headphones but they could use more distance for comfort

    Stax Headphone Pads Moving [Fix]

    They have a Soudal Adhesive remover which comes in a black and blue spray can. This worked really well. Used a cloth and that for the glue on the pads, en a cloth and kitchen sponge for the glue on the housing. Best to strip them completely then you can properly clean the glue and put the...

    Stax Headphone Pads Moving [Fix]

    I bought a set of Stax SR-207 last year and have been enjoying them very much. They and some other models have a reputation of the pads moving around and need to be re-adjusted every now and then. I have a fix for this. I took of the pads, cleaned of all the glue on the pads and headphone...
