van de hul is another brand, but much more expensive than canare. i personally tested van de hul clear water cable. doesn't really impressed me. that cable sell for RM 74 per meter. just bare cable. =P


RCA and stereo theorically no different, and IMHO 6021 sucks big time, compare to MX5021...

yay finally there's some one also owned ACS295. i have two set, one set working find, but another set, the transformer coil had burned out. no power.. =(

ACS 295 and ACS 45.1 is not even brought in by ban leong... =P not sure the company exits or not during that time.



recently i open back my ATP3 from box.. and had an listening session, and i found out that song comming out from the ATP 3 has more "plastic" sound than my recent hear speaker (even compare to an oldies sony speaker (2.0) i got from saunato.)
and people singing from ATP 3 seems like having slight running nose.. =P not sure it's damage or not, but i gived the ATP 3 to my eldest brother for gaming purpose.
through observation, the unit is working prefectly find, no cable degradation and so on.. =) not even a scratch on it.


and the PT6021 is no different with an usual FX6021 except for the universial remote control that included in the package.

it is retailed at that price. anyplace also u can get.
the mines selling RM 530-RM 540.

New ATP3 satelite.



Old ATP3 Satelite

difference :
1. Old satelite is taller, roughly 1 inches.
2. Old satelite has thicker plastic
3. Old satelite doesn't tilt on the bottom. they just jack it up with sponge, but not the plastic itself to have angel the mid range.
4. Old ATP3 is very heavy. Old ATP3 Woofer alone is heavier than whole set of New ATP3 including box.
5. Old ATP3 woofer is 18W all right. New ATP3 has lower watt on the woofer, according to what i search, it's using 14-15W But new ATP3 still include the old ATP3 user manual, which written 18W RMS of the woofer.
6. Old ATP3 satelite and woofer driver have dot pattern on it. while new ATP3 is smooth driver, which is softer.
7. Old ATP3 sounds much better. bass is really deep and powerful. new ATP3 woofer can shake seriously when you blass it slightly louder.


From what i see, even though the model name is the same, but i think the design is totaly different. and it is higher possibilities that the new ATP3 is produced by different factory owned by Altec.
from what i listen, older ATP3 can "almost" fight the sound quality of MX5021. and it definately on par with CS21, or 601.

YEAH the nose sound is so heavy..
hahahahaha..

ACS45.1 doesn.t come with a tweeter, it only has a mid range.
how ever ACS295 does, it's an upgrade version of ACS45.1 with same woofer, same mid range but added tweeter.
R401 also has a physical tweeter, hence it can produce better high.

no lah

i am proud owner of altec lansing IM716
hehehe
very nice

IM716 user Reporting in.
got it for RM 380 from walabies.
worth every single cent i paid..

the im716 sound quality is even easily overtake several headphone that cost more than RM 1.4K.
think about that.
this im716 using etymotic ER4P driver which the ER4P is selling at around RM 800.
to be honest. below RM 1K there's seldom a headphone / earphone that can overcome IM716 in term of sound accuracies, spatial sound stage, and the DETAIL.
try it and u will know.
imho, according to so many headphone i have. not even one can fight IM716, except Sennheiser HD580 which the price is currently around RM 900 new. that's different sound signature. and i won't say hd580 is better than im716.

however, mark my word that above statement were based on modded im716 (mod in term of removing the volume control and replace it with 27-33 ohm resistor.
with price of RM 380.. other headphone/ earphone within this price range is far far behind Im716 to be honest.
FAR.
and the price is very cheap for the sound it produce. other brand (etymotic / shure) offering same sound quality stuff will be around RM 800-RM 1099.
ngbh is selling shure E4C which cost RM 1299 before discount. and that things sound on par with im716 with different sound signature.

yo
i oso have acs295.
it's really not bad.

changing cable to higher impedance and lower capacitance can increases the bass respond. take the cable as a series resistor which connects between your speaker and woofer.
the cable will alter the balance of treble / bass.
if your cable is naturally lack in high frequencies,. then you will get impression of stronger bass. while using better cable, might as well pull outs the mid and high. so you don't need such high volume to get the actual volume, hence u will feel the bass is decreased.

but on some specific cable. bass can be reduce / enhanced.
for example. silver cable usually has less bass as compared to copper cable which has better bass extension.
