it's called an 'analogy'

why? food makes sense to most people

about McDs - whjen the first McD opened up in KL they were the first fast food joint to enforce self-service... not realizing this, two guys went and after waiting at their table for 1/2 hr (upstairs where they can't see the counter) stormed out of the place saying "bah! poor service!!"

When I see McD Value Meal, I think of Hi-Fi package at bargain price.

my equating McD is on the basis of that its edible, but mostly junk i.e listenable but not high fidelity

yea yea, i went to McD recently... and suddenly recall this post and really lol-ed...

I think the Hi-Fi bug really did it job on us.

Is this turning into a McDonalds thread (hijacked)? LoL

Hi there htkaki, how've u been, and the Velodyne CHT12R?

its the same, when you go McD's you get UPSIZED

back to hifi...

does anyone in Malaysia sell Acoustic-Solutions? There are a couple of shops in Singapore selling their products and the prices are low (arouns SG$200+ for the CD player if i remember correctly - will update once i go to Sim Lim Sq).

For those prices, it probably won't compete with the likes of NAD, Marantz or rotel, but could make a good entry-level system for a beginner. Should be much better than a minicompo

And I also saw a digital 5.1 AV Amp on eBay UK selling for £55.00

a dutch product huh.......look sleek.....sifu, u planning for one?

no lah... just making options available for new addicts

Bro, changed my mind as my current sub cld go as low as 25Hz, which is same as CHT-12R and enuf to 'shake' the foundation of the hse. Now, saving $$$ to buy AE900 and reno my room into HT room.

hehe how much is the expected cost for the entire project? Just want to know a rough idea coz I am also planning the same. If possible, going to dump around RM30k into it haha.. but before that, I need to upgrade my house's security haha

Not too sure. Now, sourcing for the sound insulation foam. Carpetting will de done too. Then, will have to invest in 'black-out' curtains. I dont think the whole project will cost RM30K for me.

My room is just nice; measuring 10' X 20' and the door is of solid door. Just have to do proper sound insulation, carpetting and install air-cond. Move out the existing furniture, replace with comfy sofa and do some cabling job (DIY). Final touhc-up wld be some nice movie posters that I have collected to be hang on the wall.

Sld be less than RM10K.

this is a good topic which i could get lots of information on a HIFI system(including McD) for a newbie in HIFI world like me.

i need your opinion again. actually never tot of getting a HIFI system. but went for audition last weekend on the NAD 521 and 320, immediately fall in love with it. sigh.....have to spend more again. maybe an entry level one will do for starting. the speakers used during the audition was Focus audio bookshelf. sound was amazing. but after looking at the price tag, forget it, changed to mission m31. played the same songs, amazed again that it doesn't loss that much. natural and very good soundstage.

so was wondering if the diamond 9.1 will sound better than the mission coz thinking of getting a pr of 9.1. any comment? hehe....

For a budget HIFI system, i saw in perfecthifi promotion, marantz 5400 and PM4400 was lot cheaper than the NAD. any opinion on how it sounds compared to NAD? oso if cost the matter, can i paired the 5400 with NAD 320, which will save me few hundreds if to use NAD CDP?

can a normal DVD player sounds as good as the CDP?

Thanks,

Actually Mordaunt Short Avant 902i also quite good.



Here's the link to the info and review:

Mordaunt Short Avant 902i - Supertest Winner

i heard that diamond 9.1 needs plenty of power to drive, i've auditioned both, thinks that 9.1 got more oomph when pairing with a marantz, then MS is detail and crispy, to say,..my personal view

I guess that Marantz aint that a good match for Avant 902i kua.

check out the review of this new speaker company in the current issue of What Hifi (or read it online)

it looks solid, and the insides look well made too

quite good numbers on the spec sheet for a 4inch cone... it is 4 inch right?

ya this is the 4" baby model - looks like they have bigger models as well; but the baby of the range Q1010 starts at GBP100 which is also quite promising, price wise.

Wonder when they'll come to this region (maybe someone can ask one of these guys)
