Does anyone know when screw terminals for speaker wire were first eschewed in favour of spring clips?  :thinking: And how do multiway binding posts fit into the timeline?

Picked this up today: Now it's time to decide what to do with it...  :thinking:

Hi all :) So my craptastic entry-level multimeter died on me and it's time for a new one. Does anyone have a used autoranging Fluke or Agilent that I might buy from them? Alternatively, any recommendations on a new unit? Agilent models start at around R1000, and Fluke at R1700. Well, except...

Hi all :) I'm going to be ordering a couple of these, and would be happy to organise for any forum members: http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/products/HP-A8C.shtml Fostex isn't very well known outside of pro audio circles here in SA, but I've been a fan of their stuff for quite some...

I absolutely positively love this country, despite its... foibles, but things like this make me sigh just a little ;) Edit: whoops, supposed to be under "General Discussion"

Hi all :) I recently acquired Kane's lovely Mapletree Ear+ HD250 (this one: http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,14514.msg179584.html#msg179584 ). It sounds absolutely wonderful, and I'm thrilled with it. The only downside is that I've noticed an irregular high-frequency noise on the...

Hi all :) I'm thinking of getting a used No. 35 DAC for my office setup. The price is R5000 - the question is would I be better off buying something new for similar money?  I know it's ancient by digital audio standards (mfd. 1992 - 1995 I think) - technology has moved a looong way since the...

Hi all :) I just spent a ton of money on shelves for my bedroom and study (have a looooot of books). I'm thrilled with the shelves themselves, but the installation is shoddy. One wall in particular is especially bad, with the two shelf units not level and not lined up. This is in my bedroom and...

In my ongoing addiction to vinyl I've been ordering a lot of stuff from overseas. Pricing is usually pretty good, with the average disc coming in at around R170. But thanks the deprecations of the postal system, a reasonable portion of them arrive warped. Not unplayably so, but I hate to see...

The more I think about it, the more applications I can come up with for a desktop CNC machine. Case work, making PCBs etc on the electronics front, plus various decorative applications and just plain ol' fun. There seem to be quite a few reasonable (well, reasonable is subjective  :-\) options...

Hi all :) I'm going to experiment with a compact desktop folded horn / TL project, CNCed out of a big chunk of solid wood. Does anyone have some drivers to sell? I'll probably try a few cabinet different variants and driver sizes, so if you have some kicking around let me know...

Hi all :) I've recently moved into a new apartment, and after much waiting for various bits and pieces of work to be completed (dust paranoia being my primary motivator) I finally have my audio gear set up. However, due to some furniture changes, I find myself needing a way to raise a pair of...

Hi all :) I happened across an old-school wood-sideburned Luxman integrated amp, which set me back the princely sum of R100. It seems to work just fine, and on internal examination I don't see any major issues. I'm hoping to restore it at some point, assuming the spectre called "free time" ever...

Hi all :) A friend of mine has 2 radiograms which are in wonderful condition but are non-functional. Is there anyone in Joburg you can recommend to have a look at them and undertake repairs if possible? I'm not sure what is wrong with them exactly (my DIY experience so far covers ICs and one...
