ive been looking around for the past week thinking about how i hoped for massive, large scale, tradezone styled trading. i guess my plan to get some nifty 2nd hand stuff in an attempt to cut short the time needed [to accumulate mohnay] isnt as brilliant as it first seemed!

but hey, thanks alot for the links htkaki, eyerule and SiriuslyCold [last but not least, of course! ]

oh well, no hifi stuff for this guy for years to come then






btw SiriuslyCold, that last sentence deserves an EVEN bigger, badder and looonger "HMMMMMMMMMM"

quite a lot of good stuff can be found 2nd hand. unless u're looking for really exotic or old stuff

Silon, seriously speaking - my system is strictly low-end; I have what I consider the best entry-level stuff I can get, but they are entry level. And contrary to audiophiliac tendencies, I'm perfectly happy with my system

perhaps you can read this article

As long as your are satisfied with your system, i dont think there is a need for an upgrade. After all, upgrading a system normally aint a cheap affair unless your wallet is loaded or being bitten by the hi-fi bug. LOL

well, ill be scrutinising those few pages when ive accumulated enough, eyerule


thanks for the link, SiriuslyCold
[*chukles* we'll see how long you last with your current setup! ]


what happens when you've been bitten by the hifi bug and have no money? [damn thats gotta hurt badly! i wish i this never happens to me]

A used Benchmark came up in Star Audiofile, selling for 3K. Perhaps someone here would be interested in it. It caused quite a stir last time and was FOTM for quite some time.

Silon,

another info for you...there has been a forumer here in the name of jawa131 selling the 2nd stuff..but have been very passive for the past few months..and his thread also dissapeared..not sure why..

luckily i've been able to trade my marantz amp with the audiolab..

do pm me if u want his detail..

Cheers

oh, that entry level setup is gone... *ROFL*

small stereo setup is now 2 years old
Rotel RCD951 HDCD player ($100)
Audiotrak DR Amp class-T ($150)
Paradigm Micro ($70/pair)
JBL PSW-1000 Subwoofer ($80)

he might not be an audiophile, but he is my SIFU!!!!!

Guys, can recommend me a Hi-Fi system for a good music listening. Budget RM 2000

the student has surely graduated and surpassed this so-called sifu ;D

hey for entry level, can i get decent sound for rm 1.5k +/- that can have 5.1 DTS/Dolby Digital but at the same time allows me to have above average sound when i play music....i am currently using Robertson Audio/Pioneer but the set up is very old (6 years old) and has no DTS so wanna upgrade but my budget is only 1.5K +/-....

so far i got Samsung HT-TQ25 on my mind for 1.2K and because its wireless (mum hates wires across my room) so any other good ones?

my dream model is the Phillips HTS 9800W for Rm3.2K but price is a huge HUGE factor so any other model that is WIRELESS has HDMI terminal 5.1 system for around that price?

Where in the world do you get Paradigm equipment in Msia? Asia Sound Equipment? Do they impose a huge markup like they did with the AKG line?

Asia Sound Eqpt yes.

dunno about the markup (which is govt taxes and which is distributor) but when I last asked about the Atoms they quoted me RM1070 (compared to US$189 stateside and SG$298 in Singapore)

For US189 they are awesome, but RM1070 ...

Hi All,

I just need a price check on QED silver A. XT here. anyone knows the price do let me know pls.

SiriuslyC, Do u know how much it costs in Singapore? and where could i possibly find it there? Adelphi?

Regards,

Guys,
My pc is using M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card. use what connection to my amp which is a Yamaha RX-V359 to produce sound? thanks for helping

AVJunior - no idea about cost of QED, you can call up KEC and ask http://www.hifibargain.com/ they're good guys

alkt - use the coax digital output

SiriuslyCold,
using that but no good. still no sound produced out from my pc. wat to set at the amp there?

I think you need to set something on your sound card (like enable digital output or something), not the amp.

Greetings all audiophiles,

As i will be moving in to my new place quite soon, i would like a recommendation for a home theater system (or is it called a hi-fi stereo system? ). First of all, please bear with my n00bness () as i am not familiar with speaker systems. Hope that you guyz here can shed some light and recommend me a good system.

Okay, my budget is around RM5k.. for the speakers + subs, amps and cables. Now, i'm not sure if this is alot or very little. BUt can you guyz try to squeeze out the most you can from 5K for a set?

Recommendations and comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance. Have a nice day.
