There are locally released original BDs now, distributed by HVN, the disc is pressed in Hong Kong. It's not the same as the Deltamac release, that's for Hong Kong market.

Sometimes these local original BDs have exactly same cover as US version, but I notice the print quality is bad. Those cheap BDs are highly suspected. And sometimes got Malay subtitles too.

However, some US version BDs got Malay subtitles as well even though not printed on the cover. One example is Unbreakable (Bruce Willis).

the best speaker i think on show is german physics, this one, if you are there you must experience what audiophile is all about, talk about dynamics, timber balance, warmness, impact, this one has it all, powered by moon by simaudio.
bro, i agreed with you. this was the best setup that i heard. according to the salesperson, the speakers are omnidirectional and the whole setup cost > RM400k.

not sure got other setup cost more than this?

rick wong said, anyone who has 200k now put on the floor and take the entire setup back including the wires, hahaha, if i had i had taken them already.
anyway that was the offer just now, imagine the speaker, moon amps and cables and also all the racks at 200k, i think it is a steal,

the speaker is very dynamic, and great in impressing your cocky friends, and make their head come down abit,

actually the marten design supreme was also very good as well, marten design setup i think more expensive then german physiks, but the speaker is different,

the other thing i find interesting is the sunfire speaker system and sub. very nice, reminds me of velodyne,

so there goes the KLIAV 2009, for the past 2 days that i attended, i didnt regret much only that i was not prepared to buy many AVR items that were on sale, so much that sometimes you wonder, if spending so much money on the AVR you buy, then all you know during AV fest they throw price like crazy, very bad sometimes, no value, cannot sell to upgrade, but anyway overall i had 2 chances to listen to german physiks, and the very good chance to listen to kondo ongaku, which is so different from the rest of the setup, it is a world of its own. no rock, no bass, very very quiet and calm music, so soothing.
i only bought CD;s DVD's, the cd's ok lah 10 bucks only, i think some of the hifi cd is too expensive, they probably mark the price up then give you a 20% discount, giving you no choice but to buy, i refuse to buy, i rather go to the shop and buy, same price after discount, so i rather not support the cd seller, i support the hifi equipment seller,

and if you realize, on friday, they sell DVD like david foster at 40, today they sell at 45, they say wrong price, so i fought for 40, in the end dapat also,

i also bought RCA caps from C&O Telos brand, sounds good,

The only thing still filling my mind is the gigantic McIntosh speakers

I can only dreaming and drooling for that super eilte speakers sad.gif

and then there's one room
two 'masters' are showcasing the fine-tuned hifi system with additional accessories added
can really hear the difference
quite interesting

Yes the Mac's really created an impact, very impressive tho,....with its scale
But haven't anyone notice, its as though a giant is singing with gigantic instruments, (not like any live performance, where one is singing to you
on the other hand,i find/believe its not properly calibrated, at times i find instruments... example guitar, strumming say at the top height of the speakers behind ( as is.... the guitarist, is sitting on top of the ladder strumming.with guitar strings 2" in diameter... haha haha haha very funny... but its true

shit, 200k, is really a steal i would say, 200k, u can get a pair of speakers only + the Moon preamp...

the Marten Design doesn't impress me sad.gif the other one that come close to the realism of sound reproduction will be the McIntosh room...

you mean the Telco's RCA, its teflon coated on the inner. seems to reduce something or resonnance.... but
it really tightens and strengthens the overall sound, (not so noisy)
if its the telcos, try the speaker plugs, if you have bi-wirable spk inputs, but using a pair of cable, plug two 2 at the other,
Guarantee.... you wouldnt want to take it out... biggrin.gif

Yeah, I meant the Telos caps. I see they have the RCA caps and the speaker caps.

You've tried them both before? Do you know if C&O loans out demo units? I'm normally skeptical of such things so I'd like to try before I buy smile.gif

i bought it in Ipoh, in a bundle purchase, but price tag is RM130 (10 caps)for the gold ones

1st choice , yes (a must) to get the spk caps, very effective,better than RCA

Yes,i was loan a sony 350 and a MA RS6, well maybe i have debited some $$$ in their a/c ( but even b4 that they say can loan for testing also)

Edited
anyone using satellites speakers and play CD using pure Direct which bypasses the DSP.

in this mode, does the subwoofer come to effect also.

if subwoofer is cut off how do satellites play normal audio in stereo mode
thanks,

sorry posted in a few relevant threads
