    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    I was very impressed by the affordable Naim system and the HT Room was just something else ! The HT room design was conservative and tastefully executed. Needless to say the low frequency response was lightning fast ! Many thanks to Hein - for once again hosting the club ! Much appreciated.

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    This event is intended to be a no holds barred audio extravaganza. Be prepared to audition some serious kit. Should anyone be overwhelmed or suffer from as limited thrill capacity - there will be a Dr. in attendance.

    Is it worth switching car tracker services?

    Your driving behavior is already tracked by cameras - many log number plate data for road network planning.

    Is it worth switching car tracker services?

    I was with Nets*** and when I on the spur of the moment asked for a tracking report i discovered that the tracking device had not been working for 8+ months - Somehow they never picked it up. They refunded me. Made me wonder if it not cheaper to hide a cellphone in the car and track the phone...

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    The 2024 Global hifi show calendar

    That is in the pipeline - hence we plan to have a DIY club meeting in June as a possible pre-view as what could possibly be exhibited at the Expo. We have secured seven additional rooms - further details will follow later.

    Small Valve amps vs Big Valves amps

    Just an update w.r.t. question 2. Since posting the above i have added 20+kg of granite slabs to the equipment rack. I do like what I hear - dynamics and soundstage seems to be much improved.

    Small Valve amps vs Big Valves amps

    I suspect the mistake you made was not to by-pass each new power supply caps. In my Ref150SE every power supply cap seems to be by passed. To my ears there is zero smearing.

    What An Audiophile!

    @Baseline 1. This is a audio forum - that is why I visit it. I am not interested in longwinded armchair political discussions where certain hidden agenda's are possibly pushed under a guise of flaky intellectualism. For me it is an abuse of the forum platform. 2. As for being principled or...

    What An Audiophile!

    You are missing the point - it not about comments or members input but ongoing haggling about the poll and not abiding by the moderators intervention.

    What An Audiophile!

    @AlleyCat Sadly I take no joy in the above debate. In fact as a non paying forum member you possibly have no locus standi enter in disputes with the moderators? Take care.

    What An Audiophile!

    AlleyCat For me the traditional audio landscape has changed - I do not think it has anything to do with the mods or members. LP's, CD's DVD and Blue rays are practically unavailable and if you do not have access to streaming you most likely limited to your music collection. Not many of us...

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    For a hastily rescheduled meeting it turned to be a very pleasant meeting. It was a good mix of audio and social interaction over a glass of wine and some treats. We did miss a couple members... Initially we drove the monobloc's directly from the DAC volume control aka following the "MSB"...

    Help with Kef Celeste K2 Speakers

    They both Kef 139 bass drivers. One is just a newer version than the other. I do not know of any bass enclosure adjustments for the newer driver- so I suspect the spec's are basically the same?

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    We are slowly upping our game with the VF events. The location was magic, high visibility with a good flow of new faces. The VF is not just about selling LP's and CD's but also a social event where like minded people can socialize and have a meal together in a relaxed atmosphere. It important...

    High Fidelity

    The average person expenses is largely determined by his disposable income. If your budget prevents you from buying a the latest BMW it not going to happen. Maybe we need a law that set a max tax rate to protect the public from ever increasing taxes ? Alternatively some exclusive benefits for...

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    On the 14th February Sound and Cinema hosted a few hardcore audiophiles who were not distracted by the Valentine celebrations. We were concerned about possible overcrowding but Divine intervention ensured a very manageable audience. We wined and dined on the customary club treats. The meeting...

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    Our first meeting for 2024 should be very interesting as it very rare to have the opportunity to hear a fully active system that aims to compete in the high end market. We know the system can play very loud - for tonight's session a huge effort has gone into optimizing the system to provide a...
