wow...
now jaben has own thread...
nice...
after so long...only yesterday i managed to pay them a visit...
i must say...damn nice!
i foresee where all my money will flow to in the future!
damn!

although got poisoned like nobody's business...
i only left with a few ayam stuffs...
but now i regret not getting the non-ayam stuffs...

The journey never ends...

yeah man.
a bit occupied.
now got a bit free time. so slowly getting back into this money sucking hobby...

nothing much.
so far i m happy with my ES3X.
juz looking for an amp to go wit it.
i regret selling off my predator.
now maybe getting one back or protector.
yesterday just bought D2+ bcoz no budget....

i tot iPods are able to play WAV file no?

that's crazy beautiful!

how much does it cost?

when i first got my UM2...
thats wat i did...
burning while listening...and srsly it din help at all...!
the out of the box performance is so sucky that i almost regret buying it...
then i read thru online...
telling to give it a burn in...
so i did a 24-hr burn....
so the next day i picked it up again...
and ....BAM!!!!!!
i smiled!
i've never heard anything that good before!
the bass tightens, gives better impact, the highs sparkles and the mids...just...woahhh!

so...i say burning in does help....
whats important is...to what degree...

yes got.
new from box. the bass is all over the place. sounds muddy and muffled.
in short, the ipod bud is better.

but after some burn in...
it shines!
i say it is even better sounding than the w3.
yes ive had the w3.

not too long.
but i cant remember.
bcoz during when i bought the UM2 i was having my exams or was it assignments.
so i just let it play on my laptop with a bit higher than my listening volume. playing one song that i like, then loop it.

when all my exams was over, i took a listen to it and it sounds better.
exact time i dunno.

i feel the same too!
the bass is punchy no doubt.
but the significant sibilance kills the mood.
i sold it off within 1 month.
i prefer the UM2 over the W3

i just came back from jaben...
and may God protect me...
i did something i was not supposed to do...

Az...
i m not to sure about the design...
but materials definitely plays a part...
bcoz it determines how the resonance would be handled...



i heard ppl saying wood gives nice vocals...
metal gives nice sparkling highs...

hahahaha...
nothing much...
nothing extreme...
but yeah may God protect me...



I hope this would last me quite a while....

I know.
I am already looking for a good DAC.
Any recommendations?
Portable tops the list.
Desktop DAC can also be considered if its very good!

Cable?
Cable for which connection?
DAC -> Amp?
or the Amp -> ES3X?

Lavry?
b4 i think...i m already dead!

indeed.
i tried it yesterday.
if not for the amp, i'd have taken it.
i dare not try the ES10...
sure die kaw kaw!

no la.
this is the ESW9JPN...
very nice!!
design oso nice...
price...not so nice!
