gave this a test. Disappointingly, the Tape input switch is faulty and one of the channels don't seem to work so gave it a miss

Thanks guys. If I works, I'll get it

How wpuld i tell if ive never heard it before. I intended to hooking up a source and speaker to test

I have an oppertunity to get one of these for R1500. Anyone know this amp. Any good. At it's age what should one be aware of ? If everything works, would it be a good buy. It's a 50W amp I believe.

Not to get into an argument and you're right, each to their own. Having observed the badges on the road here vs other countries I've been too, it's really skewed - unnaturally so. Anyway, it's the reason why the models of the Japanese brands are no longer. There's no market. The Camry still...

I'm posting this as I was thoroughly blown away by the great concert yesterday at Sunbet in Menlyn. All three acts, Demi Lee Moore, Kurt Darren and Thomas Anders were spectacular. By the end of the concert it was standing room only !! Did anyone else from the forum attend this or the Cape Town...

Easy to explaiin and South Africans have themselves to blame for their incessant pandering to what used to be asiprational luxury and only buying the German three - BMW, Audi and Mecedes. For those of us that grew up pre 2000, we'd know these brands are no longer what they once was. I've...

Arcam is part of Harman so whoeever does Harman Kardon

I concur with Deon. In the JD Reliability ratings the top two are Lexus and Honda. Lexus I think is No. 1. The parts of a 2009 Honda Accord is way more expensive than a 2014 Lexus (ES). Over it's life, the cost of keeping a Toyota as opposed to Honda is less. And Honda is no longer what it...

Seeking some advice. I'm attending the concert this Sat from 4 to 10pm. I need some advice on parking in that area as I want to avoid the main hotel due to the congestion getting out. When these concerts are on, is Menlyn Maine - the open parking opposite an option ? Being after 10am, the...

This thread appears to make a solid case for the Chinese brands. The likes for Hyundai have been around since the 1980's I believe and have earned their place in the market. Growing up in the 80's and 90's the aspiration was to study, work and earn a top salary so one never has to drive another...

I've often thought that the way to select cables is to match it with what is in the internals of the components its linking. So find out the quality and spec of the copper of the source and amp and the speaker and select a cable to match. Using a $1000 interlink when the amp and source have $25...

I set the volume to where I can hear it and it's different for whether it's music or movies. Play with the phase switch as well. I keep the crossover areound midway.

Quite a long thread for a wasted effort IMO and I say this as I have this exact sub with the original sattelite Boson Speakers I've had this for many years and this sub is in fact "boomy" and not suited to be run with the Monitor Audio. It does fine with it's original Boston speakers. The...

I've test driven the Kia picanto, Mazda 2, Renault Kwid, Nissan Almera. The Kia seems to offer the most features for the lowest price. How do these cars, paritcularly Kia and Hyundai hold up mechanically after 10 years and after 140000km's ? Does anyone own these Korean or Chinese cars pushing...

I've also questioned the price of the Land Cruiser while I've never owned one or have the use for such a car. It seems ridiculous based on what else is on the market. For the record, I've never owned an SUV, but here's my take based on my life experience. Haval, GMM, Chery, BMW X, Audi Q, Rav...

The speakers would be a definite upgrade as a first pass. The 600 series (and I've heard these) are not regarded as the best. Upgrade to the 700 and the difference is obvious. Regarding the warm up time - this is true for any system. I may use my hi fi once a week and it has to play for 30mins...

It's probably an alarm you need to reset. That's how the Whirlpool works. It could be that the freezer is not getting down to the right temperature. have a look at the attached

On the customer service front, Amazon win's hands down and I've experienced this as I usually buy from Amazon France.. I had an incorrrect delivery and the issue was resolved directly with someone calling me from Europe and the process took < 5 hrs. I was very impressed.

Thats useful advice on the gearbox. I would never have thought of that. This is tough as another no for me is a Turbo and many cars in this or other prices regions are tiny CC's with a turbo which IMO is a recipe for disaster as one never know's how the previpus owner drove it. There's also...
