Hi All, Looking for headphones that have both wired and bluetooth input that have decent sound without a huge price tag - say between R500 and R1500 - Any suggestions please? Thanks in Advance

Just wondering if anyone has sold a house recently with the solar system installed and how it effected the salability and price of the house - i.e. how much of you investment did you see back by way of extra house sale price. I note one forum member chose to move his solar installation from old...

My 'me too' moment: 2 strings of 9 x 545W Jinko Panels. One NE facing the other NW facing. Care was taken to eliminate shading, Each string is fairly close to the limit of an MPPT on the synsynk 8kw inverter 2 x 8kw Synsynk inverters. 5 x 6.4kWh BSL batteries in home made cabinets with...

Hi All, It appears SMSL have released a new DAC, the D-6. seems to be similar to their Sanskrit 10th MkII, but with additional features, like balanced outputs, and bluetooth with a price tag currently only US$30 higher. Tempted to get one but would like folks thoughts of potential pitfalls...

G'Day All, Can anyone advise where I might get mounting brackets in SA for small speakers that have provision for a 1/4" UNC mounting screw on the back (in this case Monitor Audio Monitor 50s)? I'm aware that Monitor Audio do quite a nice little unit themselves, but it is not really suited to...

Hi All, Is is possible to repair (and retain reasonable sonic performance) the speaker below. If so, how would you suggest I go about it? Advice greatly appreciated!

I've always been a fan of concentric tweeter/bass driver concept as employed by the likes Tannoy and KEF (and now Fyne Audio) from a point of view of the full frequency range emanating from one spot. As I've read on various sites that there are a number of technical challenges that go with...

I've seen a number of post on this forum of people saying AV amps can't match stereo amps and the reasons provided generally make sense and I tend to agree with them. But what happens when space/cash/ease of use is an issue and you want to listen to good stereo within your constraints. Imagine...

I have a Denon X3300 driving a set of Old Sonor Audio AVSA kit 2 speakers. For some time the amp was driving the speakers using just using the primary left and right channel and the speaker were fine. Recently, since it became apparent I wasn't ever going to be using channels 6 & 7 (still got...

Oh 'nought', not another 'one'! I was reading some the stuff describing the virtues of high end USB cables and it amazes me, engineers can make signal transmission half way around, through conversions to from digital electrical to optical, (e.g. under sea fibre right down to FTTH) to...

Has anyone built one of these themselves or perhaps used one of the Lumi or similar units that are on the market for a few grand. I would like to give an installation like this a go, but am loath to part with significantly more than the TV costs to for a motorised TV lift from the only guys I...

Need to do a little testing but I might be in need of a D260 tweeter - any pointers where I can get one please?

Not sure if this should be under 'Cables' or 'Room Treatment' - please forgive me if I have it wrong (suppose the Mods will move if so?) Looking to run some speaker cables down from the ceiling along the walls (mostly in the corners). I'm trying to avoid chasing into the wall and putting...

This seems to be a more recent trend on how entry level amps are specced: As an example since I just got one: Onkyo HT-R495 (Same, it appears, as TX-SR494 but from an all in one kit with speakers etc): Power output (Front L/R / Center / Surround L/R / Height L/R): 160 W/Ch (6 Ω, 1 kHz, 10%...

Greetings all. I'm looking for a replacement for my aging and occasionally dicky Marantz PM44SE amp. It is intended to drive a pair of Celestion speakers of slightly (but not much) later vintage. The input sources are my PC and a chromecast audio, both of which have analog and digital outs, so...
