    JHB Cable Listening Experiment

    I would be grateful if you could share the quality YouTube channels that you have found value in. I have also learnt that the equipment you use is only one variable in the equation and have found great value in room set up etc.

    JHB Cable Listening Experiment

    Are we still talking about ethernet cables here? Ethernet and HDMI are both digital bit completely different for example. Someone mentioned a DVD interconnect which would be analogue as the DAC would sit in the DVD (typically) or connected by fibre to a separate DAC (my setup). There is no...

    Hi . I am from Cape Town. Been fiddling with things for 4 decades + ranging from pure analogue Hi Fi to high end Atmos. Would love to build the ultimate listing room one day but without spending the money some of my friends have. I currently run 3 systems - 2 for movies with Denon, Rotel...

    And then there is science.…… we don’t actually have to prove that the earth is not flat because it’s already been done.

    Ethernet cables

    This is the right track in this conversation. This is the only way a LAN cable can sound different - noise from another source that finds it way into the system post decoding the packet into an analog signal. It is possible, if not probable with some equipment not specifically designed to...

    Ethernet cables

    100% correct - I am a veteran professional in IP networking. I am simplifying this a lot but, as has been said again and again, the packets are binary - as in a 1 or a 0 - completely unlike analogue which is an almost infinitely variable wave (or waves) which can carry any amount of noise. Every...

    High to mid end install - Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2016

    With regards to not going Rockford  - I fully appreciate the sentiments, I have no elegance to the brand whatsoever. My research tells me that the amp is way good and way small and the front stage has received great reviews. That said,  I would far rather get better quality at the same price...

    High to mid end install - Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2016

    On the whole I would agree - however, my home systems are all pretty decent though - dedicated listening room and dedicated theatre. They cost WAY more than this though. Not many people would look for a listening experience in a car - well I certainty wouldn't  :)  I am just wanting something...

    Thanks - now this seems like good advice. I don't know the C-DSP but it looks like an awesome piece of kit. Where does one get them it SA? I am looking at a D class amp merely for the space limitations I have and they are small. 4 channel as I do not use the rear fill at all - just front stage...

    High to mid end install - Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2016

    Hi All - Who can you recommend to do a professional audio install on a standard (in warranty) 2016 Ranger Wildtrak? What I had in mind is sound deadening, sub, Class D 5 channel amp, speaker upgrade (new splits in front) with the stock head unit. Most importantly I would need the right...
