QUOTE(arremie @ Aug 14 2009, 05:27 PM) That's true but 4k simply too expensive la for me. I use the normal 6-plug Tacima CS929 for all my sources and also the LCD. My amp n sub each connected to a single plug Belkin and direct to wall. Tacima CS929 got quite good review from internet. How much the postage to here? And what about warranty? |

About RM220 plus shipping from Futureshop. Source usually does not use a lot of power so Tacima is adequate. No need to go crazy.

Yes direct power sounded the best (tested without the Belkin and Tacima) but my whitesnake has no fuse so to be safe I use Belkin for now. I have E2 power saver which stabilize AC current of my house against power spike and lightning so later I'm gonna get another longer whitesnake with fuse for direct connection.think should get better sound |

It's cheap and at least I got the peace of mind until I get better ones. i am using PK UPS for whole system, hehe |

Those below 500bucks are more or less the same, just get which ever you find trustworthy.
Belkins are good as they offer Insurance in case of damage to your gadgets, but they sure don't look nice *this is for me thou* Tacima gets quite good feedback from few forumers here, but it just look like giant extensions in black. As I said they are more the less the same if you're getting those below 500bucks. |

Mr. Lim carries a few brands, one of them is Bada from China.
If RM500, should be LB-5500. Does it look like this? This post has been edited by Reix: Aug 15 2009, 04:38 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

Try PS Audio. Their lowest range, Duet gives a significant difference to sound and picture quality. It gives more layers to highs and tighter bass. Images are sharper and have better contrast
