    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    Awesome, then rather don't scratch the non-itch. Leave as-is and upgrade at a later stage!  :2thumbs:

    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    By having them to close to the wall your blocking the 'breathability' of the port so if you can, rather place them on stands and away from the wall. I would also stick on some smallish rubber insulators to contain as much as possible bass within the enclosure. See if you can't take the...

    My first ever DIY bookshelf speakers

    Silly question, but have you moved them away from the wall with at least 300mm away from the wall? And are they on rubber insulators or similar or just flat on the cupboard? That little Yamaha receiver I see in the shelving, is this the power source you are using on them? I scrolled back a bit...

    Are CDs dead?

    Yes, Larry, I fully agree that the normal person will not hear the difference between the flac and CD and I also believe that it would be seriously difficult distinguishing between the flac and cd if one was able to deliver through the exact same line of equipment. Flac does have 'n fraction of...

    Are CDs dead?

    Ek is nou maar eers in my dertigs, so ek het nie regtig die draai tafel era beleef nie. Ek onthou maar net my Pa en sy vrinne agter sy bar wat sit en musiek speel tot laat nag tot die tannies hulle kom uitrap. Vandag staan sy draai tafel stukkend hier by my as 'n uitstal stuk op my tv kas totdat...

    Speaker build advice please

    I would say go for it. For a first time build, just copy the exact internal dimensions of the cabinet. You are then free to increase the cabinet wood thickness and also the baffle (front face where the drivers fit). Also refit the drivers with the exact spacing between them as per the existing...

    CD polishing services?

    I do this only for the deeply scratched CD's. I purchase a lot of second hand CD's where the previous owner did not care for them properly.

    CD polishing services?

    I'm currently experimenting with my bench grinder, 2000 grid sandpaper and brasso. Made a wheel from 10mm perspex for the backing of the disc to fit on on the bench grinder. Running the 2000 paper with constant wetting lightly over the disc for a good couple of runs. Then after with a good...

    Projector advise...

    Thanks Gents, appreciate the feedback! you guys are making me ponder about this. I do spend about 2-3 hours an evening on the telly as I'm a late to bed goer. Wondering then if I shouldn't maybe stick to the TV setup then. Should I decide to go for the projector I'll keep your posts at heart!

    Projector advise...

    So my trusty old Bravia went kapoet over the weekend, probably fixable as I think it may be a bad cap from what I could gather from the error codes. Anyway, so now I was thinking that maybe I should make the move to a projector. Issue is, my budget would be between 5k-10k, pushing, 12k if it...

    Time for a Little Honesty.... :-)

    That is what I loved about Deezer when I was still with them. The interface was basically flawless. But I'm sure that Tidal will hopefully step it up with their interface. I on the other hand will now be waiting for Deezer HiFi to come to ATV. Then I'll be happy chappy. I'm contemplating...

    Time for a Little Honesty.... :-)

    I'm really glad to hear Tidal finally released an app for the ATV4 recently. I pestered both them and Deezer a few times regarding this. Unfortunately I already cancelled my subscription for Tidal due to poor uploading from their side. Back to your initial question, I had iTunes on my ATV4 and I...

    Entry level music system.

    I agree here, TV DACs aren't all that well spec'ed, but if your stuck with a TV with no optical out this is the only way except if one can ad a highly spec'ed HDMI audio extractor or purchase high-end video sources with analog out. That's good to hear about Dstv and Showmax. Glad they got the...

    Entry level music system.

    50-80W stereo 100-140W surround (Depending on room size and layout off-course) I run 150W stereo and this gives me way much more than I need. My system is constantly in idle... But don't let wattage specs fool you. You can get some serious power from different kind of setups. What would you...

    Entry level music system.

    Similar needs as well over here. I use my TV room for both. I had to find a middle ground leaning more towards my music quality than movie quality. I did the whole surround thing but was recommended by a fellow member with years and years of sound experience to give the stereo world a go. Much...

    Denon AVC A1 vs which Denon Stereo?

    Fellow Denon forumites. Which older PMA would be comparible or better than my AVC A1? (Marantz also an option) Reason I'm asking is my AVC is sitting here in a cupboard which I'm holding for my brother until he purchased himself a bigger TV cabinet that can accommodate this units shear size and...
