    R1 million for Landcruiser 76

    my limited experience with construction type projects in africa, none of which were mining, is that the vehicles are typically turned over to the customer / end user at the end of the project, & that the customer will therefore specify what they perceive as suiting them. in my case it has...

    So what does the new planned NHS hold in for us?

    yep. discovery sent a mail saying relax as well. unfortunately while the "implementation" may take a decade or more, the raising of the money will start a lot sooner. as will the looting.

    Do you power condition?

    i recently went for power conditioning for the 1st time. i really do think that i hear a difference, but i haven't done any sort of a / b type comparison. the difference, to my ears, is not just background noise, it affects the clarity of the audio.

    Frequently Misspelled audiophile terms

    as much as i enjoy making fun of them, i do feel sorry for anyone learning english as a second language. what a mishmash - words with dual meanings, exceptions to every rule, & words that sound the same but mean different things (base / bass). (& yes i do know that there is a word that means...

    RCA to 3,5mm earphone jack

    i use ugreen 3.5 to 3.5 in my car. they do break eventually, but they do have a hard life. presumably the rca to 3.5mm would be similarly decent: ugreen @ takealot

    streaming software

    i am running it on a windows 10 gen 8 microserver with xeon processor & 4gb of ram, which is hopelessly underspec - i see it runs at up to 86% ram & 60 - 70% processor. so 1st step is to at least get more ram. i use an ifi zen stream, controlled via the audivarna app on either my phone or a...

    The 10 most common audio formats, which one to use?

    i have some dsd files which are just horrible. very accurate & precise reflections of poor quality recordings. but if done right they can sound fantastic.

    streaming software

    i came so close to giving up on the bullfrogs... i was ready to sell them & keep the vivids that i am now advertising. the bullfrogs were fantastic, but there was just a sharp tone to them that i couldn't get rid of. then a friend suggested that i download & run a trial version of audirvana. i...

    Is it worth switching car tracker services?

    surely you have top up insurance in event that the outstanding finance is more than the insurance value? every insurer i have dealt with has asked me if i want this. modifications should also be insured - both top up & modification insurance is not very expensive & well worth it. when my wrx...

    Is it worth switching car tracker services?

    subaru is one of the least stolen cars. i still had 2 stolen within 6 months. same assessor in both cases - he was really reluctant to sign off on the second one, but it was a clear cut incident. (both were raids on the complex with multiple cars stolen). no tracker in either car, which i think...

    The dreaded LG TV issue

    hopefully replaced with properly functional versions, or the fault is likely to just recur?

    Is it worth switching car tracker services?

    for me the tracking is simply to satisfy insurance. while i do find the behaviour score mildly interesting (i score quite high on everything except "aggressive cornering"), i think that it is an egregious intrusion of privacy. i have to wonder what would happen in event of a claim while the...

    also bear in mind that sars will apply a 10% upliftment factor before calculating vat, so it will effectively be 16.5%.

    Now Playing...

    took a quick listen through this today. i loved his "no such place" album when it came out, was kind of lukewarm om "transnormal skiperoo", & only got to this one today. great album for anyone who enjoys americana / singer/songwriter music.
