The AV SHOW is great but the admission fee for RM10 I personally think is too high.  doh.gif
RM5 is just nice and reasonable, I think.  thumbup.gif

hello. since the day it started, in 1995 i think. it was rm 10 till today man.. thats consider a bargain. as they said the money is for donation.. as u know. how much is your 10 bucks worth now in the market. rm 10 ok lah. reasonable, and also one year once mah.. everyday u collect rm 0.10 in 100 days you can buy the ticket ... set out a tabung and label it.. AV show, rm0.10 a day..

The Pioneer Susano setup is really wasted. They are playing Celine BD with it. The vocal sounds 'too open'. Not impressive. Must be the wrong setup or calibration.

Btw, the Civic in front of Pioneer showroom is too boomy. They demo 'Hero' whereby the army shooting arrows. That is arrows lah and not cannon. FuBOOM fuBoom  doh.gif  sweat.gif

totally agree with htkaki, i sat in the car, then came out, sounds like shit, maybe you have to drive the car with the background noise and engine noise then the arrows will sound better..

other than that , the susano also sucks, but the amps looks really huge. so big that i think i cannot carry it..

sonus faber setup was also pretty poor. sounded too boomy, opera tibaldi. is ok..

best sound i think avalon acoustics and cmy usher audio. there is also one company that sells high end transport cd players, nothing to listen but just to look at only.

vienna acoustics was good, and sweedish statement. was ok also. no naim speakers this year, but everyone promote on blueray.

LS3/5A speakers..why beautiful vocals?.. they're driven with VALVES (or tubes if you insist) with 5-10% distortion specification vintage amplifiers. No dead accurate power transistors or mega power amplifiers that make your TNB meter spin the speed of a gasing!

Audionote and Avantgarde Uno Nano.

it is like every year ritual for me visiting the ls3/5a club, never leave the room when im in it. listen and listen.. just so soothing. others are like. loud, thump. boom.. my ears cant take too much of it, but LS3/5A, i just cant move, reluctant to move on...

but give other ppl a chance to listen also lah. the room not big enough for him. every year keep adding amps. mana ada tempat. next time only one person can come in.

probably i will be one ls3/5a kaki next time. but i realised those kaki are usually with grey hair. maybe i need to have more grey hair to play ls3/5a


Added on July 27, 2008, 1:21 pmthere is one company that i really wanna complain, really misleading advertising. desa home theater.
i ask about the pricing. it seems that u got to get the coupon, or if you are luckily draw with the coupon, then only you get the discount. if not u pay full price. dammed.

also i think this year the entrance give is getting more kiam siap, i think the company cut cost, only ada air minum. other than that i cant even get a pen, last year i got a pen. maybe next year air also tak ada. just pay 10 bucks and go in. what the heck.
long long time ago. got free cd, t shirt,. all sorts of things. nowadays nothing man.

I am lucky too, but not coz of lucky draw. hmm.gif
i plan to buy HDMI cable due to the giraffe HDMI is not working after 2 months using. It was bundle with my Philips DVD player when purchased at Harvy Norman. Both Harvy and Philip refuse to replace it for me.

So i went to giraffe booth complain their louzy cable. At the end, the product manager of them was kind enough to ask me bring the cable to their office, they will get a replacement for me. tongue.gif
Hope they keep their words. Probably will send to them by next week.

anyway giraffe comes with life time warranty. so they should change for you.

hoho, nice write up alps. congratulations that u made the right choice for the sub, if i had the same situation i would do the same. unfortunately this trip hasnt been good for u, like a lot of halangan in front. firstly, stupid and rude organisers. then stupid pricing by so call super offer shop. and u didnt try the velodyne sub.

but i must tell you. the velodyne. though small in size. but the bass that kicks out,. is like i have never heard b4, they were demoing celine dion when i was there. the small little sub was surprisingly great, but also great in price as well , maybe a&l overprice it.

i also went to the cheap sale no warranty place. tempted to get the cheap cheap speaker set. but my logics in my brain tell me no point wasting this money. go for the proper ones. also there was an amp selling for 1300 which i eventually went of feeling very upset i didnt buy, but on second thought, if i get that amp. my journey to hd will end. as i will waste rm1300 on an ancient but powerfull amp. which dont have hdmi and also no true hd decoding. plus no dcdi systems. so i think no point. better off with a new amp.

but as for you, i think it was really tiring that day. and plus all the headache and heartache. but at least when u go home u got a nice sub that will shake the neighbours down. anyway do take a pic of the setup and show us ya. i so envy ur HT
