doesn't seem to interest me.

and i'm pretty fine on the 4B10... i did crash my car just 4 months of ownership after all.

You've made my day..

Actually my dad also used to be into the hi-fi hobby(he had the complete setup with a CD player, speakers, pre-amp and power amp) when he was younger.. so he's quite experienced in this hobby..

He also agreed that expensive gears don't necessarily sound better), and that I should just settle for something decent(and not too expensive)..

Agree with you.. but what if I use IEMs at home..

Any links for those plans? Curious to see them..

How sarcastic...

I like their smartphone designs, and their cameras are not bad also.

Yeah, shall just concentrate on my studies first..

ya lor..

Yeah.

You mean on this forum?

But I have no gears wor.. I only own a pair of IEM..

I'm talking about the anime series... why are you talking about movies pulak?

ive linked some of them on this forum lol

i also not bringing my gears... since it's a bit worn and what not, the sponges are coming out of the ear pads lol
not replacing them atm because i still haven't got my speakers replaced yet and those imported lambskin ear pads don't come cheap lol

you don't deserve your ride

that's what more girls should do or else they will never be taken seriously...

it's ok... i am sure that there are someone out there who just have their earphones for whatever kind of listening they do..

you just don't need something like this on your desk...


most head-fi is a bit more organized than this... head-fi and their pelican cases ...point is... it's a bit overkill...

maybe something for being on the move and to take some abuse and a separate nice setup for time when you are settled down and comfortable in your own PJs to listen to the sultry voices of diana krall... jus sayin... jus sayin...

you are just asking for trouble... i rather not be the one who send you down that road...

you shall learn the enlightenment of being credit enabled once you are ready and when you are ready... seriously

hey... i like Sony too... it's just that they are a bit overpriced on some stuff...

historically... i even owned a Sony Xperia Go... my first water and dust proof smartphone which i liked so much until the day it fell down 1 floor and and hit the ground so hard my heart fell to the ground the instant it landed...

the amazing thing was that it didn't even die or anything unlike some of my friends note or s3 that cracked their screen just by falling face flat onto the floor from no higher than waist level... i even continued using it for another 3 months as it started developing some symptoms of spasticity (actually i was just too stingy to buy another phone lar )

i even was having high hopes for Sony's own release of the PHA-1 DAC-Amp until they announced the priced....

so, i do like sony in my own defense against your allegations...i just had to defect to the koreans because they were cheap and offered unbeatable value... my next defection would be for the chinese if it happens...

i believe that you cannot multi-task whether you are male or female... and tertiary education is not cheap nowadays...

if you get distracted now... you screw with your parent's money... if you get distracted when you work... you screw with your employers money...

your call...

he most probably decided to show that he is pro feminine the second he knew you were a girl...

i look down on him...


not saying this to side with you... but since he ain't showing me some restecp... i ain't gonna show him some too...

jus saying that to show that how far off i am even with movies let alone with anime...

heck i haven't even watch the ID stage 4 i downloaded eons ago and have been neglecting that dragon ball anime movie that i promised myself to watch one of this weekends...

you and your connections...

you are a disgrace to every audiophile out there...


i used to have comply tips sitting pretty in my pelican case in case i have an eargasm and accidentally wetted my tips...

A bit of hurt is inevitable in any relationship. My car is very much fine now, in fact I fixed everything within a day.

Lol pro feminine. You should dig up some of my posts on cupid corner to see where I stand

My headphones are working fine tyvm. Only aesthetics issue or hygienic issue if you're very particular.

When those replacements cost rm 300 and head fi isn't a priority atm, you get the idea

What do you mean by that pic? Do you mean I don't need so many earphones?

What is PJs?

I don't listen to diana krall... I only listen to J-pop songs(ayu, do as infinity just to list a few).. and a little bit of English songs..

Yes boss..

If I were to make a guess, I think you're around 30 years old?

No, this was what I meant by you being sarcastic:

That line was hilarious..

I like some of sony's stuff too(the zx-1 looks stylish ). Too bad their IEMs(the XBA series) aren't that great..

How harsh and sarcastic of you..

I'm almost done with my pre-u.. my exams are 2 weeks later..

Anyway, since we're already getting out of topic again, mind sharing what are your favourite albums from Nana?

i mean don't go overboard with it... it might be OK to have one or two different setups to serve different purposes you see fit...

but, as far as i have seen.. some if not most of them are borderline equipment obsessed and i can truly tell you that it's really not the way to go.. at least that is what i feel personally...

pyjamas... last i checked.. this is what most girls call it...

you need to diversify... pop music sometimes does not allow you to fully explore and appreciate the better audio equipment available at your disposal...

more or less... mostly more...

i don't deny being sarcastic... being sarcastic is fun especially it's the one thing i cannot practice in real life without getting into more trouble than i can afford to...

i can only apologize if you are offended...



They have a design philosophy for their XBA series... i am not sure about the current newer ones... but the ones that was a year or two ago, the XBA-1/2/3 & 4 was practically designed to run without crossovers in the unit themselves unlike some of their competitors within the same price bracket... they (sony) claims that they find and pair BA drivers (especially the multiple driver ones) specifically for each model so that they do not need to utilize crossovers to assign specific frequencies to each driver...

Unfortunately, this being sony means that the product especially the higher end ones like XBA-3 and XBA-4 is viewed as a bit of a farce that is too costly.. i believe some people even went as far as thinking they cut costs by cutting out the need to include a crossover in the design of this multi driver IEMs...the form factor of the IEMs is also not something to shout about as well...

jus saying it for your parent's investment... i could care less about your future employer though...

if you feel pain to invest 4 figures into a pair of earphones... imagine bringing up a kid... it's practically a ferrari going out the window the moment it exits your womb...

you'd not be happy with this answer... i don't really have a favorite album...

i am not sure what qualifies as a favorite album by your definition... but, i'd like to say i don't have any... i just like a collection of her songs and it is spread over many albums over time...so, if you define the album with the most songs i like as the favorite album... then, i might have one...else, none...

i think it's fair to say that you can see changes from one album to the other whether in terms of production and her responsibility in each of it...you can also see the transformation of her style of music and i come to think of her albums never ever having a set trend of having the same genres of song or rhythm flow in each album...she seems to also not try to use the album to tell stories about their actual life... maybe a song or 2 from the album is about something from her actual life.... but hardly she writes an entire album based on her life at the point of writing unlike some other self composing artiste like ayu (at least i know her earlier albums are like that, later ones i didn't quite follow)

gnarly...wats the point of this?

go figure.

Okay...


But it's very difficult for me to appreciate classical music leh..

It's ok as I had fun conversing with you in this thread..

Now I've learned something new..
I only found the XBA-3 and XBA-4 worth listening to(mostly because of the bass).. but those two are too costly as you've said..

The newer ones are of the hybrid type..

Don't make it sound so disgusting lah..

So what album is it? I wanna know..

For me it's alive & kicking..

I wonder is that a good or bad thing...

So did you like her recent single so far?

it's jazz lah... classical is different from this...

anything else which focuses more on vocals and musical arrangements would be fine... it's harder to appreciate your audio equipment if you listen to pop and rock music solely...

the XBA-4 is a bit too harsh on my ears... i liked the XBA-3 a little bit better...

i didn't quite really followed on the later XBA-H series... but, i guess most people will find it hard to shell out 1k easily for any sony, JVC, or panasonic units...

you have any suggestion for better wording? that is the best i could come up with my level of england and it is in line (or at least i think) with the message i wished to deliver...

a ferrari is a beautiful thing like the gift from god to any expecting couples... but in order to raise it up, it costs as much as a ferrari if not more...and i can't think of any words to represent the reproductive organs that is involved in carrying the child through it's full 9 months of term which lead me to choose womb instead of other more offensive bits...

god... why are you so pressing on this subject... i haven't ponder upon this question before...

let me go do some counting and i'll let you know..

mine arrived and haven't even unwrapped it... most probably gonna stay the same way it came...

[attachmentid=4181822]

haven't found any uploads on the single last week when mine arrived... haven't checked again this few days...

i realized it's hard to decide... the songs that are in my usual playlist or the ones i really liked are really spread over all the albums over the years...

that, being said... i think i would find a little more than 50% of the songs in the later half of her discography comparatively speaking...

to be frank, i have never really considered any favorite albums of any artistes i like because i never find an album that i can like all the songs.. and it's weird that sometimes i find some songs i didn't really like initially and it slowly grew on me while some might catch my attention immeditely... so, i usually have a picked list of songs from all the songs an artiste has and very seldom think about it in the direction of the album that it was introduced in...

and i can't make considerations based on the cover art or design of the album or any of the additional bonuses that comes with it say for example first press editions that i buy because most of my discs are left as it is the day it arrived... i have never opened up most of the disc that i bought and looked inside the CD booklet or the design of the discs before... i can only rely on people scanning it or taking pictures of it... it might have came without a disc for all i know until the one day i have the impulse to go and unwrap it...

Okay..

Nah, just pulling your leg only.. In fact I found what you said to be hilarious(and quite true too).

Sorry for pressuring you then..

I already saw it on jpddl.. and I found the uploads through some fan forums..

Been looping Dream Rider(the third song on the single) a few times, as the song really sounds quite ayu-ish(especially the intro part)...

Oh ok, I apologise then.

I'm not asking you to rate the cover art or anything..

I'm just waiting for you to write your opinions on the songs in her latest single..
