    Sony Bravia core app

    I’d love to know if there is a way to make it work! I looked into it briefly and it seemed impossible to register using official channels.

    In Cape Town/ Stellenbosch with Bose QuietComfort headphones?

    If you're after full-size portable noise-cancelling cans, the Sony WH-1000XM5 seem to be the ones to beat. I've only head the M3 and they sounded a lot worse with music (to me) than my B&W PX5 but a lot more comfortable to wear, much closer to the Bose QC 35 and better sounding. I've had my QC...

    door sound proofing

    You can also install compression seals along the door jamb – you can buy them in rolls and cut to length. If the door is hollow, it will probably resonate, but definitely start by making it air-tight. A cheap-ish fix might be to stick an MDF panel to the existing door to add some mass.

    The forum's new look

    The idea is to encourage more people to register; if they register they're more likely to post, which creates more chances for search engines to find content, drawing more members in. At least that's the theory.

    The forum's new look

    By far my favourite new feature is the ability to post by hitting Cmd + Enter!

    The forum's new look

    That's completely on me! I did not anticipate the Tapatalk breakage but I have known this is coming for a couple of weeks now. We had an opportunity to pull the migration with some external technical assistance over the weekend and I jumped on the opportunity. I just hope people will give it a...

    Tapatalk not loading

    I'm sorry to hear! I realise it's annoying to have a feature you loved yanked from you without any warning; I am really sorry about that – I did not anticipate that we won't be able to continue to offer Tapatalk. We moved the from from SMF to XenForo as a long-term hosted option. It's not a...

    LG's new QNED.

    QD-OLED might finally fix the brightness concern for OLED – and Samsung's getting in on the action too. Seems like the Sony A95K is definitely going to move the game on for OLED for one. https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/sony-xr-55a95k...

    TV repair in Cape Town?

    That's awesome, thank you guys! I'm planning to pop it open and take a look see... it sounds like our plasma's symptoms are consistent with a blown "Y sustain" board, apparently.

    TV repair in Cape Town?

    My beloved Samsung PDP made a mildly terrifying sparking-like noise when I tried to turn it on this Friday... I'm rather reluctant to just write it off and go on an OLED shopping spree. I spoke with the official Samsung repairs provider on the phone and neither that, nor the reviews of the...

    Phew! The permissions UI of the board is pretty shocking - I'm surprised we haven't had more issues like this before ;)

    Is it better now? It appears that some board permissions may have been fiddled with recently but it doesn't appear like the administration log reflects it.

    USB to HDMI any good

    USB doesn't have sufficient bandwidth to run smooth HD at the required frame rates. Stick to VGA, or get a dedicated box.

    Car audio components: recommended 4" speakers? suppliers?

    I know this isn't really the place but I know some of you dabble in car audio... I'm looking for a straightforward swap of some horrible OE paper cone speakers in my girlfriend's car. A quartet of 4" is all I need for this, and was wondering if there is a) a recommended local supplier where I...

    Very interesting!

    If you'd given up on TT app, please try again. Apologies for leaving it broken for so long, it took a good few hours of tinkering with Unix file permissions to get the latest plugin to load. The forum plugin installation process is quite cumbersome and I simply did not have the time to put...

    Gears 3

    Haven't had much time to play, my girlfriend is a big fan and we've done all the campaigns co-op together. Great fun :) Just finished Gears 3 the other day - would love to replay all of them from the very first one. Great finish to the series!
