    Cap On Tweeter vs. Crossover

    The old Pioneer Rondo R3000's speakers also had just a cap in series with the tweeter, a 3.3uF. They sounded terrible, as the tweeter was cross-overed way too high, and the 10" paper-cone woofer rolled off way too early, leaving a huge hole in the midrange. Upgrading them was simple - better...

    Copy vinyl to digital format

    That should have a Tape Out or Record Out. No need for pre-outs. Use that directly into your PC/laptop's Line In. RCA to minijack cable, normally. Record/Tape Out is fixed volume, so you can still listen and adjust volume/bass/treble while you record. If it has two tape loops, you can even...

    Copy vinyl to digital format

    I just use Record Out from my NAD integrated which I use as phono stage. Connect to Line In on the PC, record in Audacity. Results are excellent.

    Bose - please explain....

    The venue is now being very successfully operated as decoDance, catering specifically for older people, playing loads of 80's and 90's nostalgia. Sound system is currently a JBL setup, which does sound pretty good, but runs out of steam late at night. They may have upgraded since - I think I...

    Bose - please explain....

    Years ago a club in Cape Town (Arena, I think it was called) used hugely expensive Bose 802's(?) as tops, with massive subwoofers at floor level, all driven by NAD electronics. The sound was pretty decent, but many other clubs in town sounded as good, or better, using equipment several orders...

    Anti virus

    +1. Windows Defender gets a bad rap. Absolutely no problems in many years now. And I'm not the world's most careful Internet user. I fully recommend it, and in fact, have convinced many people to uninistall their costly and resource-sapping 3rd party AV products, and every single one has been...

    2018 Kia Rio 1.2 LS 5-door - Any Advice/Experience?

    Good choice. Really good cars. As mentioned below, they are a hijack risk, but in Cape Town that is not that much of a concern. Yet.

    Would still like to see some pics. Unmolested VR6's are very scarce now in the wild. Maybe I'll just come visit! ;D

    Worth anything ? Old Sony mini system

    I bought an FH5 set some years ago for R200. All it needed was belts for the deck. Still going strong, and those speakers are surprisingly good. Excellen\t analog tuner, pre-outs, and a decent phono stage. Quite a brilliant little system!

    Unassuming Bookshelf Speaker That Supprised You Most

    Yes, they were excellent, as Shaun (and Sean) also mentioned. Very similar in character to the JPW Mini Monitors actually, also mentioned before. If memory serves, they use the same drivers? I still have a set of JPWs somewhere, sadly with one blown tweeter.

    HTS upgrade conundrum

    That AVR is really not bad. I reckon upgrading the fronts to decent floorstanders will make a huge difference.
