onkyo 606 for 2800? dammit man. US selling for usd360-400 only. Crazy place la malaysia.

looking for something similar to onkyo 606 maybe sony str-dg920 or 820. but wishing it to be nearer 2k than 3k.
anyone can recommend? i wanna know what dts hd sounds like from a bluray.

maybe you should try to look for yamaha amp.
if you really want to know how dts hd sound i will suggest you to go to desa lowyat.
ask them to hook up amp (yammy and onkyo) with blur ray player. they got pioneer, sammy, sony and panny.
forget about what the salesman going to tell you.let your ears be the judge. smile.gif
before using pioneer blu ray i got denon dvd 1940 as my source.
picture quality.....of course blue ray better.
audio quality.... so far my denon dvd player still better than sub rm2k blue ray player

cmy sungai wang for onkyo or denon amp and audio pro speaker.
desa lowyat for onkyo, denon or yammy amp and mordaunt short , wharfedale, or tannoy speaker.
tong lee lowyat for denon or harmon kardon amp and kef or acoustic energy speaker.

My recommendation for best bang for the buck set-up :

CD transport : any cheapo DVD player with digital output
DAC : DIY Paradise Monica 3
Passive Preamp : Promitheus Audio TVC
Amp : T-amp like Trends Audio TA 10 or DIY Paradise Charlize 2
Speaker : High efficiency speaker like Loth x BS1

This will give you a taste of the high end at slightly more than RM 5 K

a google search and i found this recomendation biggrin.gif

yes a pretty good performance vs price combination....

And bought 5 satellites speakers from Pasar Road too. All in all, I spend RM399 (Amp) Speakers (RM65). Good sound output. At least for my ears only lah. I was also

Can I have opinions on Sony's CMT EH15? Can I plug my MP3 player into it to listen to songs? I'm using a Sony MP3 but might change to a Samsung one. Not too sure yet. Heh.

I was in CMY (Sunway) the other day and got poisoned.

With a preference of Marantz CD Player, what integrated amp and speaker would be recommended to match a <RM3k budget?

And what do you guys think about this package:

Thanks.

The choice of CD player is like pulling you back to the mini compos. Even a Zero with some OPA tweak will beat the hell out of the 5001.

As for the amp, it is nothing spectacular. and the speaker i have not come across.

If u choose properly, often not by the package as advertised, u can get more value. look at the hifi4sale thread, very good gear at second hand price to get by.

somewhat true, but a ZERO is a DAC, not a CDP. somewhat unfair comparison. and i agree that if you hunt and buy used your ringgit can be stretched further.

that being said, this thread mentioned that the Marantz CD5001 went for RM590 @ AV Fair in 2007. whats the price like now? I want to pick one up myself.

After two weeks of searching, I got an offer of Marantz 6000OSE and NAD314 for a total of RM800. Is this a good bargain?
