I am looking for a specific USB cable to use on a Zhiyun-Tech Weebill Lab gimbal for camera control. I am not sure of the correct nomenclature of the ports, but it think it is USB Micro B to USB Mini A. Does anybody know where such a thing can be found? Are there any companies who can make a...

We had load shedding at 10am today where I live, so I was on my way to Builders to convince myself that I needed to buy this infernal Ecoflow power station thing since we are out for 3 evenings a week now that our exemption is over. Driving up Stapleton Road I remembered that I had seen a...

Madness by The Lagoons & jelly Ellington. Damn, this is some cool music.

Imagine my surprise to learn that with the help of a 3rd party patcher it is now possible to update any old Mac made from 2008 onwards to a fully functional version of the latest macOS, in spite of what Apple says. Yes, it is true. I did it this weekend on my ancient mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro...

I've had my 2nd decoder unplugged for about 2 months as the cabling doesn't reach the room I have decided to use as a 2nd TV room (I have been streaming using Apple TV4K there). So I have a brain wave this morning and thought I would connect it up anyway and plug into a monitor I have on a...

I recently disconnected one of my decoders because my coax cable isn't long enough to reach the room I want the other TV in, so I decided to just stream to my Apple TV4k instead. I only watch football in this room on Saturdays and since I started doing this I have noticed a weird phenomenon. If...

My desktop unit is this little guy I picked up a few years ago. It was imported by the seller so I don't think it ever got sold here because of the DAB tuner. The problem I am having with it is that the CD player is a hit and miss affair. It will play some disks but others it just won't read. It...

I've recently moved next door to a construction site and the noise is hectic with diggers and scaffolding erection happening constantly. I need to carry on making some tuition videos so I had it in mind to create a little sound proof section of my studio by making something like what Caleb Pike...

Whole lotta woodworking done here!

I'm experiencing something a little strange with my two audio systems and the Apple Music "lossless" signal that I play through either of them. Every now and then it sounds like the vocals and some of the high end gets "fuzzy" (for want of a better word). It reminds me of dirt build up around...

Hey tapers, I am looking at buying one of these for vanity purposes. What is a good price for one in good working order?

Has anybody local ever built these and is able to tell the tale? https://youtu.be/gGzNkUmPdXc

I have noticed that my right front channel on this AVR doesn't kick in right away anymore. It will start playing after a few minutes or if I increase the gain on that channel by a few dB. Any idea what could be causing this? Is it easily fixed?

My uncle has this seriously retro radio / 8 track thing that he'd like to get fixed. The radio works fine, but he's looking to get some replacement knobs on the sliders and the 8-track repaired. Location is Durban. Here's what the thing looks like:

My son has a pair of these that have stopped charging. I suspect that the battery is kaput. Is this something one can change DIY or do you have to send them in to an agent?

Very interesting video from Marty here. Me personally, I don't miss vinyl (because I prefer the sound quality of digital), but he does make a good point about how searching for great records back in the day was therapeutic. I wonder how many hours of my life were spent looking through the stacks...

Exactly 30 months old to the day a horizontal green line appears about 5cm from the top of my 49" LG 4K TV set. To say I am annoyed is an understatement because it's pretty obvious that this is a manufacturing issue, yet they are happy to fob me off to local agents who want to charge R450 to...

Main use will be for general TV audio (don't care about surround, etc) and casual music playback from Apple TV.

I know that there are many very knowledgeable people on this forum who can provide some advice for those of us who are not so much in the know about these things, so asking on behalf of der dommkopfen, what is the recommendation for running an inverter / UPS solution for a home office here in...

I was looking at a pair of old JVC HT speakers I have which are finished in a veneer I don't like and was wondering... if they can vinyl wrap a car, how hard (or costly) would it be to wrap these speakers? Anybody done this?
