Hurm... Uzumaki...
How much did it cost for you to bring it over from Sg? And also any tax charges acquired?

They have some really interesting prices there though.

41 bucks thru gdex from sg to kl.i bought the headphone (169) and replacement earpads (44) and they declared all together for 190 bucks. so no tax charges.

ok since i havent post my rigs here
here some of rigs beware
recently update guys

lastly my end of journey portable rigs

hello to all sifus here...a couple of questions on my upcoming hifi setups

i used to be on home hifis...in fact was running on Audiolabs 8000 series together with Epos.....
then went into ICE.....am still in ICE...and now planning to get a better hifi set for my new home

i also noticed that quite a number here r SF fans and close to perfect hifi

i was browsing through the perfect hifi website and saw their SF Grand Piano speaker pairing with Audio Analogue.

Now....i've listened to SF Grand Piano in Bangkok, and i must say it just took my breath away. OK the Cremonas is abit pricey for me....besides..
i still love floorstanders...Cremona floorstander....wah...pocket beh tahan
d Grand Piano was paired with a McIntosh C200 and MC275 tube pre/power and also McIntosh cdp.....

I have two setups in mind:

Setup 1:
Densen Beat 150
Densen Beat 420 CDP
Focus Audio FS-688 SE
XLO Signature 3 cables

Setup 2:
Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta
Audio Analogue Paganini CDP
Sonus Faber Grand Piano
XLO Signature 3 cables

now i've auditted both systems and both hv their pros & cons which leaves me undecided. price wise...they r bout d same

i chose XLO cables over Transparent and Zu bcoz of personal taste of characters which i hv spent hours auditing with couple of frens

IMHO....the SF grand piano with audio analogue is sweet, smooth and transparent. abit laid back compared to the densen/FA combi.
the densen/FA combi has more dynamics, accuracy while it lacks the vocal smoothness and character.
The SF set seems to have my kinda of taste...just a little bit lack of dynamics and attack when i need it...

i must say both produced accurate imaging, staging, height & depth
for transparency i would vote the SF
for more accuracy and control..esp damping factor i would vote densen/FA
for vocals smoothes, warmth, character...SF would seem a better choice
FA lacks of very low bass due to bookshelves while the Grand Piano is good at low but lack of mid bass attack
d Densen produced better headroom compared to d Audio Analogue...but argueable due to different sound room

so i hope d sifus here can share their views.....
i hv spoken to alot of ppl....and d more dilemma i'm in now....

my trusty old marantz cd63se "ken ishitawa" signature model. couldnt come around to replacing it with something new as i still enjoy its performance and its still a very good player for its age.

speakers like the amps are british made floorstanding Ruark Talisman II's
they give a very smooth, mellow sound thats perfectly suited for vocals.. but can still handle the fast stuff. these babies weigh about 20kg each!!
