Oh yeah... sounds good! Thanks for the lead, will look into that!

I’d quite a tight schedule today, all non work related. I’ve also sold off my Epos m5 to a nice gentleman this afternoon whom I must say is happy with their flawless condition and loudspeakers are not even run-in as they were only used briefly.

We listened to some music through my Sansui cdp and T-amp; he’s really impressed with the T-amp and would be contacting Xtorm soon. Epos m5, like I’ve predicted, sounded a lot better than Q Acoustics 1010 when paired with the T-amp – wider soundstage with more depth and better bass to boot. I’m sad to see them go but happy on the other hand as they’ve finally found a new owner.

Jazzy, to your question whether my attenuator could be used as a pre-amp during the T/T session, I must say it’s soldered to my T-amp and must be de-soldered and soldered each time – too inconvenient and I must rule it out. The best solution is to ‘pinjam’ a passive pre for the session or make do with my test kit comprising of a 50k ohm Alpha carbon potentiometer connected to a pair of RCA connectors. If you guys really need it, I would need to buy and solder another pair of RCA connectors to it. Do let me know.

Hmmm..come to think of it, I have a Soundstage 6922 tube pre-amp. Highly modded by yours truly and using personally selected tubes. The stock version from Tong Lee is NO-WHERE by comparison. Trouble is, I didn't bother to fit an Alps 50k pot inside...lazy dah!.

Y.C.,
Glad that you can make it! Thought you must be terribly busy.. I was right.

Question. Why are you keeping the Q Acoustics?

Your test kit should be sufficient, I think? Who would have a passive pre to pinjam?
If it's not already too much trouble on your side..

Anybody got any ideas/proposals?

Jazzy,
I'm keeping my Q Acoustics for different application – purely to listen to music close range without the hifi connotation. I’d not be seeking for soundstage and ultimate bass extension with this setup and reason why I must get back the tonal balance and micro details as a result of replacing caps on power rail of my T-amp to Panasonic FM 1000uF.

Okay then, I shall go JP to buy another pair of RCA connectors for my test kit.

I see your point Y.C!

Thanks in advance for the usage of your test kit.. and all!

You are welcome; it is all for the common hobby we share.

ok the letter is from KLIA kastam, either i go myself or appoint poslaju to declare the stock, poslaju cost rm49.50 which i think is fair enough considering time travel there and tol and petrol...

didnt mention abt the amount need to pay for tax, so do i pay poslaju rm49.50 all settle? or there is more cost to it if i dont go myself

I think, poslaju will be your 'handling agent' and will do the necessary 'clearing' for that sum.
Don't think there would be 'tax'. SIRIM was in the picture just to verify the stuffs, I think..?

btw bro, I got your stuff that you ask earlier. Unless you have forgotten?

yea i remember, and i though you have forggotten

duno how much is the tax tho, hmm stupid me forgotten to change sending address.....

great. will pass it during our TT session.

I am sure next time you will not forget!

Xtorm,
I'd agree with Jazzy - let Poslaju be the clearing agent for you.

If it's purely to do with Sirim, the question of tax has not arisen yet; even there is possibility of tax later, Poslaju should handle the matter better than you do.

I could sensed that you're still worried, try to relax a bit bro.

bro xtorm,
as advised by Y.C, take it easy k.. It's just paperwork/protocol exercise. Just look forward to our first T-Amp TT Session!

haha, i was worry but not to the extend tht it takes over my life ;P

yea ill appoint pos laju for the matter, all i have to do now is wait for them to call me for futher info? they dont need any document for me right, since parcel was written a gift, there is no such thing as invoice or receiptmah parcel value they put usd25 or 30, not too sure...

yep. all you need to now is wait.
btw, have you 'talk' to poslaju so that they can take up the matter? I think you have to pay that RM49.50 first for the services.

How about this bro

Looks good. Very well laid out.
out of stock? how much eh?

Not sure about the price, maybe can ask our bulk sifu-------xtorm to contact them

Xtorm, do share with us the progress of 'problem' with SIRIM/KLIA Kastam the moment you receive latest news, k?

There's agent from my company, and i ask him to check out the taxed incurred for me when he's there. Well, the Kastam declare that's a phone. but they didn't actually open up the parcel and check. So my agent request to open up and check out, they need the invoice and specification for clearance.

As the suplier stated it was a gift, the kastam ask why it's a gift? So i planned the story that it use for amp, and the thunder burned it, this is for replacement. The kastem request for original receipt and warranty letter and so on ~Is lady officer, you know la
And they actually want to take it for What sirim test this and that.So, i just ask the agent to Gao Tim it.

If we're using pos laju, they might need those invoice, specification and so~ding ding dong dong. Don't know when can clear out. Another charges if delivery needed to send it. Else, pos laju will send it to nearer post office and I need to go and take it out.

So,in the end, i didnt appoint the POS laju. Since i ask my agent to check out, so i ask him to settle for me
