    How good is Afrihost's support?

    AFAIK the only time Afrihost were up the creek was when they were owned by MTN, I've had nothing but excellent service, and yet to have any downtime. I originally paid R1200 for a 40/20 line  (early) then they had a special and reduced my original cost to R950, then upped my speed to 100/50 for...

    Windows 10 May 2020 Update now available with built-in Linux kernel

    As a complete noob when it comes to Linux in general, what does this addition to the Windows environment mean to the average user (if anything)? I have in the past messed about with VM's (can't remember if any were Linux specifically), how is this a benefit opposed to just running a Linux...

    Iconic moments in your audio career

    Experiencing Tool with a full compliment of arena sound in the town square of s'Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands at the tender age of 19...I think it must have been 1994. As a very innocent SA lad (who had moved to Holland a few months earlier) with very limited audio experience (beyond a few...

    TV Shopping Assistance

    Well I ended up going for a Hi Sense as it made the most sense at the time, for the money I had available that is. It's not altogether kak, I mean static 4k pictures look pretty amazing as long as they don't move. The motion blur and shudder are very noticeable especially during panning or when...

    The R400k 'pc'

    Wow, wishing I could be one of the "more money than sense" folk that buy this. The Tidal tracks created to be listened to on this gem are probably created on hardware that pales in comparison, price wise anyway... ai

    YAMAHA SUBWOOFER @ R4990... and yes.. it says 20hz

    In my humble opinion a great price for a really nice sub. I was lucky enough to pick up a 2nd hand one, in excellent condition, albeit somewhat dusty for an R800 steal. The sealed Tannoy mostly does music duty but when firing up a movie, the Yamaha comes into play very nicely.

    Musings

    When the enjoyment takes a very far back seat to analysis, this is all one can expect. We all need to be less the analytic consumer of "better and better" and just let the music flow.. Remember when you were X years old and heard X, on a R500 sound system and you basically wore out the...

    TV Shopping Assistance

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a 4k TV between 42 and 50 inches, for a budget of up to approx. R7k. If I may ask anyone here that knows a bit about TV's to give me a couple of suggestions. It doesn't need to be SMART (as I run a Mi Box and a HTPC) though I'm guessing non SMART is pretty rare...

    Only In South Africa

    Wow, you got THAT out of my post? Maybe I need to go back to school to learn how to better get across my intention and opinion. But thank you for your interestingly hostile response. Let me simplify, firstly I was saying that the guy was wrong, I don't like it, however I don't agree with the...

    Only In South Africa

    Even though this was an egregious act, I don't see how many of you place the burden of shame on the entire country of South Africa. There are idiots and crazies on every inch of this planet. We have a lot of big problems here in SA, no doubt. There are folk that are habitual criminals and some...

    Ford extends safety recall to Fiesta ST with same engine as Kuga.

    I've always thought it ridiculous to have the headrest as a window breaking tool. 1) most people don't know that one of the legs has a sharp bit and that's what it's for, 2) 75% of people don't even know how to adjust their headrests without having a good, long look, 3) try thinking about that...

    So yeah, we all know the experience when at a certain time of our lives, a certain type of sound, smell, experience, hits all our notes, just right. Fleet Foxes for me right now, luvvly... Band of Horses also...

    Assistance with DIY boombox please.

    Just a thought, Hope you're gonna glue that cooler shut, sounds like a lot of stuff inside that could do a 12yr old harm. I'm hardly an expert though.. And I'm not trying to rain on the parade, just saying..
