flex.gif GREETINGS, PUNY MORTALS!!!! flex.gif

laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif


some of u know that i went to Singapore last weekend. and of course, being an LYN forumer AND one who frequents the Audiophile section, there are 2 MUST GO places in singapore... Sim lim Square and Adelphi biggrin.gif but since im more of a headphile, Adelphi would mean Jaben Network for me laugh.gif

so as promised in the headphile meet thread, here are pix of Jaben. ill only add in comments to necessary pictures... so enjoy the pix.

and before it starts. for the love of god, DO NOT ASK ME FOR PRICES OF ANYTHING!! coz i wont know, and even if i did, im not allowed to tell anyone. so i repeatDO NOT ASK ME FOR PRICES OF ANYTHING!!

here goes with the pix
(56K Users, i suggest u go get broadband before viewing this topic MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHA ***i think we really need a DEVIL emoticon la***)

Limited Edition Beyerdynamics, green coloured, beautiful man drool.gif

DT770

The Beyerdynamic DT150. these are circumaural CLOSED cans at 250ohm impedance.
EDIT: nope...walabies was referring to Orpheus tongue.gif

Uncle Wilson couldnt stop raving about these cans...even some of the other customers there as well... i step into the shop only wilson immediately said "i got something u will definately want" and handed me the DT150 laugh.gif

i only managed to test for a very short while, wasnt interested in testing longer coz i didnt have music i was familiar with on me and i wasnt familiar with the music they had there either.

anyway, they are friggin detailed! 2 WOMEN came in to the shop while i was there, 1 of them (who has the DT990 '05) even started grinning from ear to ear when she auditioned these cans. the other, who was looking for closed cans and auditoning a few others, also started smiling, right after the DT150 she auditioned the AT A900, and her comments was "this one is good, but after i listed to that one (pointing to DT150) ....... " both me and wilson started laughing.

there are 3 cons to these cans

1/ as u can see, theyre UGLY AS HELL!!!!!!!
2/ price, think its abit on the high side for most people
3/ strong clamping force!! and i mean strong! also one of the reasons i didnt test them longer

and last but not least brows.gif

yes, alcoholic drinks in the store. Wilson said every friday night is a party there laugh.gif wish i went there on friday night but was too tired after driving for almost 6 hours that i even fell asleep at 1030 pm! laugh.gif

see the image on the screen? thats muh MAIN REASON for making a 5-6 hour drive to singapore..muh new rims, which are absolutely gorgeous!!

no impressions yet (except that it sounds much cleaner than the a2zs, and soundstage is much improved), coz the fubar only has a few hours on it. opamp is still the oh-lee-gee-nal opamp. wanna get used to this sound signature first before switching both (the opamp and that jrc thingy) to the OPA2107 (empire: better save 2 pieces for me!! biggrin.gif) . that might take another month or 2.

n yeah...im sorry about my wallet too (but not THAT sorry biggrin.gif)

remember when i said to notice the base of the headphone stand in the limited edition beyer pics? heres why.
user posted image

'www.headphonehaven.com' instead of 'JABEN' which is what i wanted. should have checked first doh.gif



i also managed to try out this clip ons from AT. they were vvery nice. clear crisp sound. but i found them to be a lil bass shy. alittle only mind u. might be more than sufficient for other people since im almost a basshead biggrin.gif

almost bought this for my GF. but she told me earlier that she doesn't want new cans. and i didnt have a need for portables so i didnt bother la.

ATH-EM7

the cables are covered in some form of cloth (dunno what its called liao) and yes the pouch comes with it thumbup.gif i kinda like these cans honestly

anyway, as for my visit to SLS, i bought a new PC Case for my HTPC which is the MicroFly (no pix yet). and i also bought this

Neutrik NTP3RC-B Right Angle Stereo Minis (3.5mm plug). price.... SGD$10 PER PIECE!!! shocking.gif moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif

reason i bought this? i needed R/A minis and malaysia is almost impossible to find.

also saw the Neutrik black barrel in SLS. (the one EOKBOY used for his DIY cable). blardy expensive! SGD$8 PER PIECE shocking.gif

okie dokie...thats the end of it. no more pix. hope u guys enjoyed them. and sorry for some of the blurry pix. low end camera (Sony DSC-S600 + hands like a vibrator + less than ideal lighting = blurry pic biggrin.gif)

Imagine how long I spend there just to test the IEMs one by one.
The "god of can" I mentioned is "orpheus", not DT150, too bad it isnt there that time. DT150 is too expensive for me to try that. Stax Omega is USD14000? Nop... Stax isnt a god yet... lol joking.
I wasnt able to try all of them (I bet you too). Some are in the box so I wouldnt dare to open it.
The shop is damn packed with peoples, just a very small shop, I think you feel that too. :star: People coming in and out like a public toilet. laugh.gif
Imagine even girls/women went to shop the headphones/amps.
And the headphone stand... Sorry I owned one long before you... Muahahaha...

How is the DT150 slightly cheaper than DT990 when the retail price of the DT990 is twice the DT150?

However, K1000, Madman, u got an enquiry smile.gif
