Gents, Hope everyone is doing well. My mom lives in a retirement community in Harties, and we are considering installing a solar/battery system for her home to mitigate the effects of loadshedding. Does anyone have a reputable contact in the Gauteng/NW region for something like this? Please...

Hi Gents. A friend of mine has a set of Wharfedale Diamond 8.4s, the tweeters of which are blown. I contacted Audiosure to inquire about replacements, but the price is rather high at R430 a pop. Anyone have ideas about a drop-in replacement? The speakers are not used for critical listening...

Morning gents, I have a customer looking for three original pressings of Cold Fact - not the reissue. Condition must be VG or better. Let me know what you have and what you're looking at price-wise. Would have to be sent to me here in the US, and buyer will cover the shipping. Thanks!

Gents (and Judy) - what is the deal with posting items for sale on behalf of a friend? Allowed or no?

I'm itching to get into this bundle from TMR. http://thirdmanstore.com/tmr-live/live-12-series/rocktober-direct-to-acetate-bundle Details THE KILLS: This record captures a show we had been wanting to see at Third Man since day Numero Uno. Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart are two of the most...

Hi Guys. My wife came home with a machine she bought at the library's summer sale for next to nothing - it is a Dell Desktop (incl. screen, keyboard etc) of recent vintage, but has no OS. I guess the library formatted the machine and removed the original Windows before selling. We're...

An artist I discovered by accident. Wish I had known about her earlier. Fantastic stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEjwD2qBd2k http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/1983/4396602

Gents, This from the Stereophile website. It is quite something. http://www.stereophile.com/content/music-or-sound

Question for desktop guys. A mate of mine is the most un-hi-fi guy ever. He loves music, but doesn't do gear. He recently got an ION USB TT and has asked me about a recommendation for a desktop/sub speaker package. He's lusting after the Harman/Kardon soundsticks, but they only do wireless...

Gents (and Lady), This is the most entertaining thing audio-wise I have read in a very long time. By turns fascinating, cringe-worthy, affirming and utterly insane. Do yourself a favour and check out the "good guys and bad guys of audio" feature. Utterly nuts, but completely awesome. Awesome...

Have any of you guys seen the new wireless Dynaudio Xeo gear. Looks like a wonderful idea - wonder what the sound will be like? http://www.dynaudio.com/int/xeo/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53NB0PnjEkQ
