Frigging expensive 1st Lp

Except for the wiring for the lighting (which is oredy there), I am getting the wireman (friend) to put in 10mm cable for all the power points. Might as well do so cos extreme reno at my new place...knocking down walls and such. As for dedicated phase...this will mean two TNB meters, right?

Might just stick to Malaysia Boleh sockets...dual use.

not necessary to have 10mm cables all around...
2.5mm for you cdp is fine. 10mm cable might make ur cdp sound coarse

i'm only using 4mm cable from the sub db for my power amp.....and my sub db is in my audioroom itself
so i can swap out the cable easily

you don't need a separate TNB meter....just need to tap one phase out

Can I ask what is db ? Fuse box ? Circuit breaker ?

Yup...the fusebox

I assume you guys are using 3 phase wiring

DB = Distribution Board

yup...nowadays have to use 3 phase....

Why 3 phase? single not enough?

Depend on power consumption and also how many plug points and other things to consider

if you have alot of eletrical appliances....it is better to go 3phase

most of the new houses in klang valley...even some bigger size condos.....tnb provides 3 phase straight...

Ya what was i thinking. Now im too curious of analog

bro...congrats in getting poisoned by analog

there are good entry levels like Project Audio, Thorens, Rega and Linn...
just need to remember that you need a phono stage amp as well
the entry level turntables starts from 2k and goes up many many many times

unless your amp is old school that comes with phono as well

Rega RP3..simply cant wrong.

carcrazy....since you r sifu in this....why Rega RP3??

i'm still trying to understand turntables....why the huge price difference??
and will the sound change tremendously between an entry level and say a sub 10k or 20k phono system?

let's not even talk about those god level turntables

SUCKERED!!!

See what you have done? Poisoned everyone here...
Bro, not only old school amp lah, the new ones all have phono out these days
And another thing...these new fandangled turntables are all made to look like Miss Universe to sucker us in
Then they bleed us dry by over pricing the vinyls

hehehehe in here poison is self induced....

my father in law has an old school technics turntable.....am wondering if i can get it fixed and refurbished

i have to agree with you that the vinyl's are blardy expensive now.....even more than good cds

that's y i'm sticking to cd for the moment although i don't mind being suckered into full analog....

i was thinking something like Thorens or Project Audio....maybe Rega....

Bro...what the hell is a "Quadratic Residue Diffusor"???

Ya, Rega is a good turntable manufacturer. Been drooling over it since my uni days. Owned a Technics then cos never been able to afford a Rega (or Thorens). Had another Sansui turntable as well back then. I remembered very well I can change the tonearm as well and I think I had a Shure (tonearm & stylus) which cost more than the turntable itself. Additionally, I can also plug in a sound filter where the tonearm wires meet the turmtable to change the sound a bit.
