come faster fix a date and we go together lah

Hmmm, I'm headed to LowYat later today for some PC parts, I'll drop by that audio shop and see if your TSS-15 is still selling for that same price.

wow, RM 399 for a yamaha? that's cheap!

i just bought home Yamaha RX-V459 last night, now looking for 3rd party vga + optical out. my vga doesnot came with one darn it.

Prices ref:
V359 - RM 900
V459 - RM 1200
V559 - RM 1400

Hmmm RX-V559 is affordable. But not future proofed.

If I buy PS3 in future then have to upgrade AV receiver again....

RX-V1600....

Eh terencey, tonight the hunt for AV stuff on? And I don't mean Adult Videos

On la. We meet at GH around 7pm.

Hehe I going to LYP later today.

Dropped by Desa home theatre just now. Sorry was in a real rush to go pick up my sister so didn't have time to wait for salesmen, but I didn't see a single budget-type Yamaha home theatre system on display/sale there.

WTA, where to get optical cable? I just got a LG HT set, now I'm just missing an optical cable

hows the quality of 459, i saw 359 on display @ harvey today but it wasnt hooked up to any speakers.. just curious what speaker do you pair it with?

If Malaysian shop sell how much? I want to straight away buy and test liao

The cheapest I've seen is around RM40 at Kelvin DVD in LYP.

Walau... RM40 compared to PA's RM14? So big difference?? But if shipping from PA will get tax or not? And if cable kena tax will be how much?

use their free shipping. PA's optical cable looks cheap so i dun think will kena tax

They're practically next door to China so of course their stuff are cheaper I think the customs would bother taxing an RM14 item, I'm sure they're not that desperate

definetaly better than HTiB provided u given it a proper speakers.
i am pairing it with my old philips ht speaker (5), then use my 8" midiland sub as the woofer. ordered speakers havent arrived yet.

the cheapest i found in penang is RM 32.

i've bought the optical cable together with s.video cable before (that one lagi cheap! usd0.99)... used free shipping, PA labeled my package as 'video game' (i didnt ask them to so, but u can ask them to do it), total value 4.98. tak kena tax lah..

as for the optical cable... good built quality, connectors look sturdy.. snaps into the socket nicely... sound quality i use so far is good lah.. same like the thick rm50 maxcable brand i bought locally.

I gotta ask since I'm a noob in optical cables/HT systems....

Are there different types of optical cable connectors? I'm seeing 2 different types of optical receivers. On my 3rd party X360 VGA cable, I'm seeing a small hole in the optical output port, whereas the small hole is not seen in either my amp's optical in port or my original 360 component cable.

Need to know, I wanna purchase an optical cable tomorrow to connect my 360 to me HT system, but am afraid of buying the wrong type of cable, since I'm seeing different stuff in the optical receivers

there are 2 type of optical cable head. one is with the normal square holder. the other one without the square holder. the small hole that you referring to might be the type without the square holder. if can post a picture here. there are optical cable sold that has one end with the normal square holder and another end without the square holder, and i have bought it, coz didn't check properly.

regarding optical cable quality, there should be no difference whether branded or china made cable, coz (IIRC) inside the cable is glasses/plastic to pass thru the light pulse, unlike the conventional copper wires cable.

EDIT: found a picture

the normal square holder cable are like the blue cable while without the square holder are like the black one.
