Just wondering if anyone here managed to get onto the Tidal Early Access program, with access to the high res portfolio? I was slow to pull the trigger and interested to see if anyone has a “beta” review for use.

So, I've decided that I need to stop cocking around and get on with getting my house better equipped. Like many, the cost of entry is rather more demanding than my wallet would like, so I'm hoping for an experienced people give input. (For the record, I did look at the GoSolr option, but...

Morning DIY guys Do you know of anyone you could recommend in Cape Town that can do PCB prototyping followed by manufacture and assembly? This is for a buddy of mine, they're looking at 5 to 10 thousand a year. Thanks

Evening all I would be grateful for your guidance on wiring this old pool pump. I did open my existing pump to check that, but it?s totally different under cover. I have three core cabtyre with the traditional live, neutral and ground to provide power. My tank pump has died and I just want...

Morning all I?d love some opinions on the above.  I?m planning on buying a Pi 4 to build a music streamer (no, no, I?m not starting that debate again).  It?s just a side project to keep me entertained and see what they really can do.  I?ll probably play with a couple of HAT options and sell it...

Seriously - I quickly get a pair of outdoor speakers (thanks Jason), but you think there is any 1mm ripcord in Cape Town right now? Nooooo I need 2 x 25 or 30 meter runs for the speakers, no one seems to have. I?ve tried 3 x Brites, a couple of local hardware stores, a Build-it and a Builders...

Dear friends I have the option of procuring this coffee machine. Currently I have a ten year old Nespresso Lattissima.  It has a steam driven milk frother and quite frankly makes pretty good coffee.  I have no complaint other than the fact that I?m going through over R1000 worth of pods a...

Disclaimer:  I?m Joe Average, this post is not full of ?exotic and erotic? gear so often seen on this forum... [emoji16] So working at home has worked well for me, but the music situation hasn?t. At the office I would normally use my headphones, but working from home means I spend a LOT of...

From time to time when we go away as a family I like to post a pic or two for sh1ts and giggles. I?ve never been to Victoria Bay before, but it was an inspired choice by the friends we normally go away with. Seriously, what is not to like? And for fun the surf is big and relentless, but...

I?ve been using Tidal since they released an app for the AppleTV. It was never the last word in UI design and experience but it got the job done. Plex, has been floating around for years.  I?ve found it a very quick and easy way of hosting and playing my fairly modest collection of Blu-ray?s. ...

We decided to risk the cold weather and take a break out in the mountains above Piketberg again. Weather is superbly clear. You can see a dusting on snow on the highest peak on the other side of the valley. I brought a slow cooker, and putting the finishing touches on an oxtail for this evening.

Morning all I have a pair of B&W P7's that travel with me to work everyday.  The headphones are in excellent condition still, but the travel bag is a train wreck. I see there are various 3rd party cases available, does anyone have any experience in this area...? Thanks!

So here I stand, victim of a petty crime. About two weeks ago, someone broke into our house, alarm went off, perpetrators must've spent all of about 90 or 120 seconds in the house.  In all honesty, my sister living with her husband right on the river in Brisbane was victim of a far worse crime...

Thought I?d share a picture of this beautiful little spot deep in the mountains above Piketberg. First photo is evening, second is morning.  Almost identical and just perfectly quiet.... Of course I have a five year old, so the peace fleeting, but I grab it when I can!  [emoji16] Sat here...

Those of you who use the streaming service Netflix have no doubt noticed the two shows in the subject line before.  There has been some discussion on them and I have been enjoying them.  However the point of my post is not in fact the visuals, but the choice of music for them. Besides the...

The more I hang around this forum, the more I see that there are many people while being audiophiles (and associated hobbies) they'often have another hobby or interest that they're equally or sometimes more crazy about.  :goofy: Lets learn a little more about fellow forumites...  ;D I'll...

Morning all I live in small northern suburbs community in Cape Town,  As many of you may know, water is a bit of a drama here....  :facepalm: I'd like to drill a wellpoint, but water is a bit hit and miss where I live.  So I'm reluctant to spend a couple of thousand with only a 50/50 chance of...

One of my guys at work is putting together a cheapy NAS system for archive purposes. Thought some of you might appreciate 10 x 8TB Ironwolf disks.... Actually bought 2 x systems to replicate the archive to separate locations, so there is another box of 10x disks.
