can say i suda kena convert already..

been using my travagans more than my 650 recently...
im kinda starting up from scratch now.. will probably be another year or two before i join this club..

i still got a lot to learn about speakers. as of now im building knowledge and equipment arnd the travagans.
im having problems making it sound good over here in penang. back in bangi is fine tho.
dun wanna make the mistake of owning a speaker without proper setup and knowledge behind it.

Oh do you enjoy your Travagans more than the 650? You need to start
poisoning more headfi users to move on to hifi so you can start the journey together. Makes things more interesting

Take it slow and enjoy the journey, but don't make the mistake of thinking just 'one step up,' or you'll end up buying and then wanting to change too soon, costing you more $$$ had you just taken the hit at the start.

Thanks for the heads up. What do you mean by proper? Hehe.. The HD220 is a hybrid, the VS series looks nice with the exposed tubes... Are the VS more proper... I listen to classical more than often than not... U guys are good... Poisoning everyone haha... Perfect HiFi's Alvin is the eternal salesman anyway...
In my honest opinion, a hybrid is a hybrid and a
lady boy is a............... boy ...The HD220 is a good amplifier, but there's always a trade off. Since you're dealing with Alvin, I'm sure he'll be more than glad to let you do an A/B test to compare between the HD220 and the other AR tube amps. See which sound you prefer with what you listen mostly to (classical in this case). Buy with your ears or eyes if you're into
tube p0rn

Saw a pair of very good condition of used Guarneris with its ori stand at Musical Image in PJ.
I knew someone who owned this model. He is using Krell KCT pre amp with Krell KSA-100. Source is ClearAudio vinyl. He has a group of audiophiles. Suffice to say that he is proud of his system even though it is one of the least expensive among his peers

Used
Guarneris? Nice.. I've never been to Musical Image before.. I need to go one day to pay a visit and see what goodies they have.
Beauty in the eye of the beholder! Glad that he's happy and satisfied with his Guarneri setup.
