Hi dude out there ~~~ any recommendation for a decent power amplifier ranging around RM2k? going to pair it with tube pre-amp and a wharfedale Diamond 9.1 ~~~ Aiming to get a solid state power amp, is it good to do so?

Hi there, anyone here got the idea how much does the Audioquest G-Snake and Copperhead selling here? Thinking to get either one for my current dac to Aego 2 setup

HI guys, any idea of how much B & W 685 selling in KL? Listed price are RM3200, while international pricing are around RM2000

only sounded great around 2am till 6am in the morning? U mean the listening environment during these time?

If u're looking for a upgrade from your Diamond 9.1, I would suggest u to upgrade the speaker instead of amp + CDP, heard from many seasoned audiophile, for the same amount of money and u gotta choose between CDP, AMP and Speaker, always opt for speaker, it does return with significant improvement.

If u favor the Diamond 9.1 warm sound, the next best upgrade would be ATC SCM7 or Sonus Faber Concertino Domus. IMHO to spend 10k driving the Diamond 9.1, would be abit wasted.

Perfect hifi is doing a promotional package of Concertino Domus + Audio Analogue combo at RM9999, go and have an audition, it may suits u

Emmm .... any guys here got the idea how much does PMC TB2i cost right now?

Getting CD player for good optical output to your COMPASS?

Personally I dun think it's worth to get the 500 - 600 CDP just for the digital output, most of the cost is spend on the DAC part instead of digital output, which I think the effect is more or less, perhaps just lil better than using USB, Kingwa also mentioned the effect of using USB and those 500-700 CDP's digital output is roughly the same!


Maybe you can check out this http://www2.erji.net/read.php?tid=637831, it's a brand new CD transport from little dot ... quite small in size and using philips latest high-end cd module ... but it's on the expensive side ... so far still no review for this, but I can assure you that good CD transport aint cheap, a decent one sets you at least RM800 - RM1200. Kingwa's CD7 is certainly quite the best of bunch, costs you a whooping USD900 ... ouch!


Portable CD player's sound would be quite different than stationary cd player, even last time I'm using an ok USB to coaxial converter compare to a cheap USB to coaxial converter, the sound is already an difference, that's the first time I believe with the effect of transport, the OK one sound more musical yet having decent detail while the cheap one just too bright! LOL


My advice would be either you spend RM800 - RM1200 on a decent CD transport or continue stick with USB, just skip the 500 - 700 level CD player, which you can see from their name

CD player = plays CD = most cost on getting it plays CD nice

CD transport = signal transport = all cost on getting it transfer the CD signal nice
