He is using Pioneer avr, IIRC. So, DSX is out. Unless he changes it

YB, lu ai simi sai?

You also can afford even if it is SF Fenice . It's a matter of want or not only

Good afternoon BOSS

You also got quite scary setup mah

ronaldjoe, when pull trigger on Viola?

Yes, he did and sold it off. The XPA-5 isn't exactly as good as what being claimed by many. So, he is aiming something better.


Haha... and I think I knew what is your next target A used one would be about USD6.2k. But I suggest that you check with the local distributor. Since it is 'only' 7 channels, are you going for a monoblocks for your front or a stereo power amp?

Btw, my avr is now on 'pre-amp' mode.

To be frank, it could be placebo effect. Just that it is a tad cleaner when in pre-amp mode. Nothing else.

I am aiming at a good stereo pre-amp now to partner the stereo power amp. Then, I can 'relinquish' the int amp and make another stereo system. Problem is that it is very difficult to find one esp the model that I want. I knew a few elite owners but all of them are keeping it even if they upgrade. Sigh....

Buying a new pre-amp is out of my league. Checked. Cheapest one is USD10K when I ask the local distri. One step up is USD16K

DAC might be the next in the list.

Yes, they rather keep it in the store room than selling it Then again, we don't refer them as elite for nothing

The DAC... We shall take this offline as usual

Didn't see this. What is your next upgrade list? Another Sub25?

If space not an issue, I prefer getting stereo amps for HT. When the electricity bill comes, oh la la....

Mc Amp not that expensive lah..... at least for you

Ronald, pull trigger on MC207 first lah to complement your Signature series

In Malaysia, YES. But, you have other 'avenue' to get it at cheaper price. Once you walk the high-end path, it could probably be a path with no return. You already knew this

Luckily in my case, my wallet is the ABS and EBD brake

Shall we pay Audio Perfectionist a visit when you are free? Clarity MP opened its first branch in Malaysia at Jaya One. So, can check out Mark Levinson as well.

Next time when you come down, I'll show you something.

coz I knew you mah

You won't splurge $$$ on hi-fi or HT as you prefer luxury rides Different people, different priority.

Peasant can't afford continental rides and luxury mpv. Can only indulge in 'cheap' HT

suddenly becomes a tranny

A fellow member keeps on pondering how a sealed sub will sound if being partner with his powerful ported sub at his home. I told him that it is quite easy. Solution : I loan the sealed sub to him and let him play for 2 weeks to try the integration of both. Then, I take it back. If he can live without the sealed sub, then he do not need it. He dare not take my offer

Did I poison him? Taukeh mpyw, do you want to try out new loudspeakers at your new home?

The last we checked, Audyssey does not sell the Pro kit to here.

whoa.... Taukeh also want people to donate 1080p pj? Once the dust has cleared, please show us your dedicated bunker style HT room

Taukeh, busy today. Sorry.

Btw, very nice!

Knowing taukeh mpyw for years, he will surely upgrade to a proper FHD pj this year. 'Resistance is futile' to say the least

Takeuh mpyw, I know you will definitely ask me back. I am still on the fence but it would probably be JVC pj. As for now, I am still looking for my 'missing link'

I already have a 92" fixed screen on standby. The room lighting is on dimmers. That is one of the reasons for JVC .
