    Panasonic dmp-ub900 - How do I get one in South Africa?

    Hi all I'm in the market for a decent UHD player and the current Samsung UHD player is, to put it bluntly, rather pathetic. The Panasonic dmp-ub900 is by all accounts an amazing player according to online reviews, but we don't get them in South Africa. Is there anyone that can help me source...

    Help: Rotel RB990BX Buzz/Hum

    Please help me out guys! I took my Rotel RB990BX power amp to Nilam to sort out a heating issue on the amp. The bias on the thing was way off and it was starting to go into protection mode. Unfortunately, this amp was previously repaired by an amateur after it suffered some damage from the...

    New Fave Band: GoodLuck

    Discovered an awesome local band last week called "GoodLuck". Some folks know of them. They're amazing. If you like Jazzy/House kind of music, give them a listen. Their song "Electro Thing" is currently knocking my socks off. The lead singer girl has an amazing voice. WOW.

    Samsung 65KS9500 worth it?

    Hi guys and girls For those of you in the know; what are your thoughts on the Samsung 65" KS9500? It's supposed to be the top-of-the-line TV at the moment even though I believe that the KS9800 (FALD) should claim that title, but apparently we don't stock the 65" 9800 locally. Bummer. I may...

    Swords

    Gents, have any of you ever managed to successfully import a sword? A few years ago I managed to import one using take2's (now takealot) importing service. It was no big deal, it was a normal import. To be fair, this was only a "prop" sword although it was made out of metal. I'm trying to get...

    Blowing fuses on Amps because of your speaker wire?

    So I recently acquired a very nice, second-hand Rotel RB-990BX and, like most obsessed people on here, I've been digging through the archives on the internet to find out just how good this unit is even though I already love it and the Rotel RB-9xx range has a sterling reputation. We all like...

    Tamed my Klipsch setup

    So my AV system is complete for now and I honestly don't see myself buying anything else for the next couple of year (except maybe upgrading/changing my TV). When I first installed my new setup I paired a Denon X4200W AVR with a set of Klipsch RP-280Fs, RP-450C center and RP-240S surrounds. It...

    Hearing test depression. Not really. But sort of.

    Okay so, following an thread someone posted on here a while ago prompting people to check their hearing - I decided to go do a proper hearing test at an audiologist. But some background first. I had many recurring ear infections as a child. It was literally the bane of my existence and hurt...

    Brooklyn Brothers - Clearwater Mall

    Forget about RocoMamas - if you want the best burgers, chicken wings or ribs in town, get yourself to Brooklyn Brothers in Clearwater Mall. Seriously folks, I have not been this impressed with quality and consistency in ages. Their milkshakes are also ridiculous. They're not the cheapest, but...

    Mic for REW?

    Guys, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum (soz adminz) but could you, who are in the know, please tell me where I can buy a proper mic for REW? Reason: I have a PC in my cinema room which means I can use REW to setup my system instead of just relying on Audyssey. I simply CANNOT get my...

    Rotel Service/Expert in Randburg?

    Hi guys Can someone here share the details of a company/person in the Randburg area that can service/repair Rotel power amps like the RB 971 and RB 990? I'd like to have him/her/them as a contact in case something had to happen to my newly acquired 2nd hand amps  :thumbs:

    4K Blu-Rays. Hide yo' wife. Hide yo' wallets!

    Just checked on Raru that the new Star Trek Beyond movie will be retailing at R684 for the 4K Blu-Ray edition. The other movies aren't far behind, retailing at R400 - R500 easily. DANG!!!  :be: That's actually hectic because, from what I've seen and tested now, I really cannot justify paying...

    Had to mention this. Just for LOLs

    Does anyone else on here think it strange that people record speakers playing and then put those Videos up on Youtube - as if we are supposed to be able to hear the difference/quality of said speakers on a video? LOL I was looking on youtube for proper reviews of the Klipsch RP-280Fs speakers...

    Do I go 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 ?

    In your opinion folks, what sounds more immersive? Going from a 5.2.2 setup, should I add two rear-surrounds or should I skip the rear surrounds and go with 2 more Atmos speakers for a full 5.2.4 setup? In terms of "Atmos" - going for the 5.2.4 setup is apparently the way to go. However, I feel...

    Acoustic Curtains

    So my cinema room (actually my loft) needed some curtains as the current blinds over the windows were NOT going to do well with the amount of sound in the room. After adding some weather strip to the windows to make sure they had a nice seal, we went out material shopping for the curtains at...

    That first scratch...

    So it happened. It was bound to happen eventually. My lovely Klipsch RP-280F towers were flawless for a period of 3 weeks until last night, when in a moment of stupidity, I moved my subwoofer and nicked the veneer on my tower speaker with the edge of the sub - and now there's a scuff mark...

    LCD Image retention/persistence

    Hey guys How many of you have experienced image retention/persistence on your LCD (LED Back-lit) displays? Coming from a Plasma Television for the last 6 years, I've grown accustomed image burn in and how to avoid/prevent it. I've managed to avoid permanent burn-in on my plasma since I've had...

    Your amp and a UPS. Buddies?

    So I had an extra 1200 Watt UPS lying about not doing anything and I had this idea to hook up my new Denon x4200 to it as well as my two active 12" subs. My reason for this is that our area seems to be getting a lot of power dips and complete outages recently and I don't want it to damage my...

    Talk me out of it...Samsung 75" JU6400

    Gents/Ladies I'm currently looking at the Samsung 75" JU6400 LED LCD TV for R45,000 and I'm struggling to find a reason not to upgrade. My current Samsung 63" Plasma (A750 series) is serving me well still. But this 75" TV would look VERY nice in its place. Is there any reason why I should...
