My wife and I need to have our marriage license and birth certificates apostilled, anyone know of a reliable and trustworthy service though which to do this?

It's the first thing I do when I get a new disc, I've never seen the point of them personally. I didn't know they indicated a first pressing and affected the resale value: I have the Kino Lorber "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", threw the cover straight in the bin. I'm still not going to...

My wife and I have been living in the same apartment for 15 years. This year however my wife took a new job in a new country, so we're currently hunting for a new home. Our personal economy has moved on quite a bit since the time we bought our current place and we're finding the options...

My mother-in-law is looking to move into a retirement village, she likes the look of this place and has asked our opinion. There's only so much we can glean from the available material, anyone with any insight or experience with this place? A sense of how it compares to other options in the...

So it's quite obvious to me that most members are not the biggest rap fans, but please, for the sake of argument, allow me to present a rap song that may or may not convey the value of the genre:

I know there aren't many fans of the genre here, but I think he makes some good points, worth a view if you have the time and interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV2lVBQpWbI

I'm considering upgrading my 11 year old Velodyne SPL-1000 Ultras. My plan is to go for a pair Arendal 1723 S1s: https://arendalsound.com/product/1723-subwoofer-1s/ Any concerns over pairing KEF LS50 Metas with 13.8" subs - I wouldn't imagine so, but with such a large discrepancy I wonder if I...

I'm going to swap out the XLR inputs on my amp with RCAs. For that configuration, both the XLR Ground and Cold Signal connections on the buffer board are to be occupied by the RCA Ground/Shield: My question is this, instead of using a regular RCA cable and splitting the shield thin across the...

Friends of mine took a tour through Chile recently and documented the trip. First video of the series is up and I thought I'd share it as they put quite a bit of effort into the presentation and would like to grow the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQt0Wf-H18E

After hunting around for a new apartment recently, my wife and I have developed a new appreciation for our current place. Calling our search off, we've decided a better investment would be to upgrade our living room area to make the most of the space we have. To that end, I'm moving my AV setup...

So I've been gearing up to buy a new HDMI 2.1 equipped AVR in anticipation of the release of the PS5. I had two units in the running, the NAD T778 and the Denon X8500 - the Denon was due a 2.1 upgrade at the end of the year and I figured the NAD would receive an upgrade card before too long...

In response to a question in the Member's Kit Pics section: For simplicity's sake, use the Cinema preset for all picture mode: From the initial PICTURE screen: Aspect Ratio - Original Energy Saving - Off Additional Settings: Eye Comfort Mode - Off OLED Panel Settings - Screen Shift - Off Logo...

Starting from today (1 May): 5.1: From 192 kbps (good) up to 640 kbps (great/perceptually transparent) Dolby Atmos: From 448 kbps up to 768 kbps (Dolby Atmos is available for members subscribed to the Premium plan)...

I always make sure that the AVR level settings are in the negative figures (if I can't hit 0). Though with my most recent receiver the minimum volume at which I can set the subs without the AVR having to increase the volume during autocal results in a pretty significant volume reduction of -9.5...

Putting a number to a review is a contentious issue, especially if you're going to give something a perfect score - I like the way this video explores the notion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUbbmwGNd10

My wife and I aren't happy with the current rental agent looking after our property. Does anyone know of any good agents operating in the Durbanville area?
