Any place to shop for Hi-Fi or gadget stuffs in SG? Going down this weekend for a week

DSLR camera

Try finding Oppo BD Player if its up for cheap sale.

How much in SG compare to KL?

No Oppo in Malaysia.

Go to Adelphi, near City Hall MRT.

AVR is cheap in Singapore.

Wonder if there's agent or supplier in KL to bring in Oppo's?

I doubt there is. There is an a/v shop that intended to get Oppo in last year. I do not know what happen since Oppo still not here.

HTKaki,

why not you bring in....

Sorry, out of my league

Electronics are generally cheaper than Malaysia if only because they are not saddled with the 25% tax. A brand new pair of Paradigm Atoms is about sg350 (last I checked at Asia Sound Eqpt, level 4) whereas it is over rm1k here

Once you are at Adelphi, you can visit Jaben Network for headphones (they are at Level 4)

there's also some used equipment resellers in the basement. golden ear audio (level 3, i think) is quite expensive though.

visit New Disc Village on level 3 with loads of LPs and SACDs

Check out the stuff on sale at XP and make an appointment to view over the weekend; some people are selling the Oppo BDP83

Marantz is cheap there. Last time I got my AVR there half the price of KL....

Fren just coming back from sing...

Yamaha RXV767 = SGD 980

so how much is the RXV767 in KL?

I just came back from S'pore with a Denon 2311 @ 950

Too bad already bought Denon 2310 end of last year

buy a full hd projector...

bonus is that item is NOT taxable

From KEC I assume.
Checked in or hand carried?
I was there over the weekend as well but I didn't get anything yet. Still surveying!

If I recall, most of the AV shops in Adelphi close quite early. By 7pm, the place is half-deserted. So be there early or be disappointed...

Any recommended brands and models?

Sim Lim Square. Checked-in luggage.

around RM2100 to 2200

SGD980 = RM 2332 - so it's cheaper in KL?

Where to get spl meter and good price for speakers? Eg paradigm .. Going tomorrow..

Paradigm only at Asia Sound Eqpt (Adelphi level 4)

SPL meter try Sim Lim Tower or Fu Lou Shou complex (ground floor shop, the end closer towards Sim Lim Sq)

I still have mine if i can find it, you can borrow just for setting up

any cheap 1080p projectors in sg?

Am thinking of getting 2 units, but the price here :0

If its worth driving down to pickup 2 units..why not ?

If bring 2nd hand electronic stuff from Singapore by car and kena caught, how does the kastam determine on the price as there is no invoice?

Just say it's your own personal used equipment. Should not get taxed.

i checked on certain entry level B&W, Paradigm and PSB stuffs

prices are comparable to those in Msia, just +-10%
not worth the hassle

however certain higher end stuffs are cheaper though, a shop offered me CHT-12Q @ 30% off KL's price

How about RadioShack SPL meter, can it be found at SG?

Pjs r definitely cheaper in sgp..

I tink d goin rate for d ae4k is ard SGD3.4k against rm13k here ; hd250 is sgp3.6k = dunno how much in rm..

But be aware tat warranty is gud in sgp only.. in most instances..
D

i remember yamaha msia cheaper
cos made in msia

ah kopi, tax officers are not stupid nowadays
go internet google got a rough pricing liao

I faintly remember tat Yammys are not really cheap in Sgp..
So are Onkyos.. unless u get d latest models..

Marantzs n denons are indeed cheaper there..

All tis frm memory.. so it could hv changed by now..

Wah that's good bro

Buy am actually looking for mid / low range 1080 pj, like hd20 and Such any shops tp recommend? Prolly will head down by next week...

Also no worries on warranty, am only using it for a short period of time

HD20 how much ar?

Bro, can buy SPL meter for me? Tqvm


It is selling at abt RM9K over here.

Where to buy the RadioShack SPL meter?

AE4000 $3.1k World Audio Centre, Sim Lim 1 week warranty

$3.25k Anson audio, adelphi 1 yr warranty

Ask for GST Tax return receipt also.

GST can only claim at airport I think. If driving cannot claim.

just use the red lane and declare..tell them its 2nd hand item ur fren give, the looks can tell..also better without the box

May I know worth to purchase speaker cable from SG ? How much cheaper than here ? Looking for Chord and QED speaker cable and HDMI cable.

You might also want to check out those UK online stores like futureshop and hificables.

May I know how to buy from the website ? How long to receive them ?The price seem cheaper than local.

Futureshop take 7-12 days to deliver your order.........my experience during last year.

Thanks lucky I found one last unit at kec. Tested svs sb12nsd revised model with 400w amp. Impressive for small sub and affordable price. Dennis was nice enough to demo few setups for me with the sb12.

Also tested paradigm but the uncle keep pushing me the old model front speakers for s$1.7k. Still insisted to demo the newer ones for s$4k with rotel amp and sub12 woofer. Maybe it wasn't set up properly but it sound a bit sharp on the top end.

Wanted to audition monitor audio gold series but shop was out of stock. The shop uncle also sounded very arrogant.. Hmm is this typical?

Nicest people besides kec was the dude at klipsch where I got my dipole rear surround for 50% off and the owner of the focus audio shop. Was impressed with the center speaker from focus audio and they had few models on discount. After checking with bro geforce the center speaker I almost bought cost 5k in kl ie. Fsc1. In sg only 2.5k after conversion. Next trip will probably drive down to get the focus audio front and center. Models vary from entry level to rm100k for front speakers.

Last place I visit was sim lim square. The guy at city electronics was very grateful I introduce his shop to lowyat.net .. Looks like u all gave him a lot of business lol .. I also tested quad l2 speakers there.. Not bad for the price of s$2k+ for front and center.
