I did planned to go jalan pasar and i told the sales rep about this. He commented that all the cables in jalan pasar are from China and is lower quality. Therefore I hope to get the sharing of experience from you guys (pioneer of Yamaha Home Theater System) if it is ok to get from jalan pasar.

Thank you very much

Jalan pasar have many quality. Depend the price. For front speaker, I get it from some hifi shop. While the back speaker, I brought the cable from jalan pasar.

I don't have much experience in cable. And what brand is good. I believe those sell in hifi shop is good enough.

For HT, I don't see need that expensive cable. Can't hear the different. But if you hifi kaki, maybe you can hear the different.

All sifus out there, I'm planning to get below stuff soon, need some advice, newbie here..
1) Amp V473 (RM1400)
2) Pioneer Bdp150 (need the 3D) (RM629)
3) Speaker, using old Jamo Series IV.

Now, looking for a subs to match. A shop here recommend me Konzert 12" (KS12W) at RM750. Anyone has idea about this brand or model?
Or any suggestions for good subs below 1k?

Thanks Much

You can get the pioneer bdp140 for rm500. It is a 3D player. Than get a yamaha sub sw315 as suggest by mtgh for rm1050.

hey Ozak, remember me? LOL ...LG 3D LED....
btw, is bdp140 better than bdp150?? I thought bdp150 replace bdp140??

i'm in dilemma among the subs now...
1) Yamaha SW315 (RM1k)
2) JBL Sub-10BK (~RM1.2k)?
3) Jamo SUB210B (RM1k)

Yup. smile.gif Have you brought your LG 55LM6700 already?

I don't no what is the different between this 2 pioneer player. bdp140 is suggest by 1 of the forumer here who just brought 1 from seng heng. He review it is a good bargain player. I myself is using sharp player which is free come with the TV.

If you tight budget, than suggest you bdp140. Than allocate some budget to a better sub.

For the sub, better go an audition and try out which 1 is best. I using Yamaha SW315 which is good enough. But it doens't mean sound nice for you. So go and try.

Not yet, but very soon  rclxm9.gif
I think 55LM6700 should be in the range of 4.5k now...

at first I was looking for SW315 as well, but then found quite a few forumers here said it's too soft?? or not strong enough to give 'punching'??
I couldn't find any store has this SW315 ready for testing here...that's the problem.... cry.gif
*
Yeah, I find it abit soft also. I thaught the placing of the sub would give different punching. But the rumbling is excellent.

You can audit it at HN. I tried it at HN paradigm mall. Or HN curve.

But I heard, SW315 is run out of stock. Only avaiable in may. Few forumer looking for it. But no luck. sad.gif

At least they've added option for bluetooth.
Too bad still not build in.

Actually in real life using, most of this network/wifi thinky is rarely using. I try like airplay and network play on the 673. The music quality is bad. Till I don't bother to use it.

It depend the source of the music, if the encoding is only 128bits the quality is so so, but if is 196, 256, and higher the quality also improve.

I network all my devices (that are networkable) I use Yamaha apps to control my AVR, I use Dune Apps to control the Dune player all from my android phone.
*
Not much improve. MP3 already worst. Go through airplay even worst. Even same file type and bits, going in different input give different quality sound. The airplay sound is the worst. Compare network play from NAS.

Even I play the FLAC lossless file and compare to the CD, the CD is sound much more better and live.

I use ipad to control the AVR. TV or mede8er remote to ON/OFF the whole system. TV and BD player is wifi. While AVR and Med8er is wired to network.

My RX-V2067 does a good job playing flac lossless file from my NAS server. I think higher end model probably will yield a better result because of the better DAC and analog circuit board.
*
I guess so. I cannot do anything with the AVR. There is nothing to set to improve the sound.

I rip the CD into MY NAS with flac format. Compare both sound. The CD give better sound quality.

Airplay doesn't degrade the audio quality of the audio files. Bluetooth however does.
I don't have a Yamaha AV receiver anymore (used to have a RX-V 3067) but when I airplay my mp3s to Marantz NA7004 or Pioneer LX-86, they both sound fantastic.. just saying.
*
I compare the same file. Play it from ipad thru airplay and play thru NAS. Playing from NAS sound better than ipad. Maybe ipad sound quality sucks?

just went desa home kepong, the guy quoted 2,099 for RX-V675, F160 5-speakers-set for 1,850, subwoofer sw315 for 1200.. sweat.gif

u sure F160 5-speakers-set only 1.5k?? damn almost got ripped off lol.. doh.gif

But the guy unwilling to hook up all 5 speakers to the v675 for audition purpose, ended up only connected the front 2 F150 speakers...when asked for the remote controller to change sound mode, he said the remote still wrapped inside the box not easy to take out... doh.gif

After that I went harvey ikano, the service was much better  biggrin.gif , the price for V575 + F160 was 3490, when asked for v675 bundled with F160 the guy said HN dun sell v675 with F160, reason being the V675 is overkill for F160..

He recommended NS-555 speakers set bundled with V675 instead, price was 5399..

Subwoofer recommended was sw315 for RM1190 or sw500 for RM1490...

So,  rclxub.gif
*
If you decide which model to buy, try go over to the Legend SS2. Probably better price. But they don't have audition. And maybe no stock too.

I brought the SW315 for rm1040 back Jan. Cherish color cheaper rm990.
