Erm... for me, it aint my cup of tea. Maybe for amateur with budget constraint into HT, it is decent. There are many better choices out there, if you ask me.


Wah... But, on another note, no need to bring the AVR there. Just audition. I suppose they have similiar AVR or substitute models.

I was at this HiFi shop in Sunway Pyramid......(no prize for guessing which) and heard this conversation -

Salesman - this pair of cables very good wan. I tested it already.
Customer - how much?
Salesman - only RM7,000
Customer - WHAT! RM7,000??!!!!
Salesman - yes, its only medium range. Got higher wan. A lot of my customer bought already. I've tested it myself. The higher range ones cost RM175,000
Customer - HUH! RM175,000?
Salesman - yes! and I've tested it myself, its very good. made of 99.99% pure silver! Its proven!
Customer - got ppl spend so much on cables meh?
Salesman - yes, some say thats it better than changing to a new amp even. Ive tested before and it sounds very open.
Salesman - come I show you one more thing. *takes customer to the counter*. This is a zerostat gun
Customer - whats that?
Salesman - you know your CDs or DVDs got a lot of static wan. ah this thing will take away those static. I've test it myself. Very good. You hear than you know the difference.
Customer - this wan for the player or disc?
Salesman - hear I show you *takes out zerostat and show customer*, you press like this and all the static will be gone.


Wow! I didnt know that I have to rid the static from my disc? I have use Zerostat before back in the early 80s for my records but I didnt know they make a difference for optical disc!

Anyway, salesman says "he tested already" like a million times so Im inclined to believe him..... :roll:

I went to that shop b4 and the salesman no hiu me....

maybe me very peasant looking guy lar....

same here. the fella never even look at me. i wanted to ask permission to enter the room but he never even look my way as if im invisible. i walk around for a good 10 minutes....still no hiew me....

Digitalkl, I knew which shop that you are talking about. Maybe it's the guy, whom is manning the shop in Dsara Uptown now. Quite cocky.

There is another dude, who is quite friendly when I frequent there years ago. First class treatment.

Their 'HQ' also got a few who looked down on potential customers. It pissed me off so much that I returned the next week with bling bling and xxxxx. That fella did a about turn in his attitude and serving me like a King. I did not buy anything but gave him a nice lesson and walked out.

i dunno whether he was cocky or LCLY because i didnt get to speak to him. he seems friendly to the other customer. thin and tall guy this one.

just that i find it funny he mentioned so many times "ive tested it myself" ! LOL

Salestalk and try to hard sell it. It's utterly crazy and downright inappropriate to say that it is better than changing the amp if the cables cost more than the amp. Even if it costs abt half the price of my amp, I would rather upgrade my amp.

To buy a RM7,000 cable, your system must be those high end setup that costs 6 figures. Overkill, at least for me.

btw saw this brand of speakers http://www.audiopro.com/?id=160&id_category=1

are they any good? some comes wrap in nice leather, some veneer, and glossy finish

AudioPro aint bad but for me, it doesnt suit me. one of the reason is the price. I have auditioned the Evo series before. A bit high on the treble and soundstage aint the best for the money.

I would rather opt for KEF, Wharfy or AE for the money

I noticed the yamaha sub are quite cheap, you know any other better options around the budget of sub 1k, preferred 8" than 6.5", i was thinking to buy YST-SW030, Harvey Norman selling for RM 699 iirc.

p/s: poor man using Yamaha RXV459

so... anyone got 663 yet?

Maniac, try Wharfy SW150 for a lil over RM1K. Nice bgt entry sub.

Sham73, Yammy 663 aint here yet. Only launched overseas. Maybe a month or two, it will reach our shore.

DIDI KL go jalan jalan nver ask me?

so any one got this yammy oledi?

alright, I'll see where I can take a look on Wharfy in Penang.
I was thinking how much I can sell off the 459, then upgrade to 663 or something like that when its available here locally.

Itu Yamaha made in Malaysia, why they launched it overseas first? Strange leh.

Just like Gen-2 mar....launch in Thailand 1st...

same like SONY receiver also what...the SONY is even worst...it's available freely in US/EU but in boleh land....u have to make special order and wait for 2-3 months for the unit...I wanted to get the DG910 b4 buying my V861 but Sony said it's a "high end" model here so have to make special order and funny thing is, they put in in their quarterly promotion booklet....

Maniac, try to PM our fellow forummer, alex for the contact. He might be able to help you.

whose alex? i see wud i can do to find

Try Hifi Choice in Midland. Just went there last week.
