hi guys, interested to have a tt? i have a new player, and would like to know how T-Amp will sound with it.

how about this sunday? or next saturday?

cheers,
wps

hello there,

i am fine, i moved the audio system to a slightly larger room after the last meeting. put the equipments on proper audio racks.

yesterday just got a new player, itching to know how it sounds with t-amps and jazzy939 new pre amp.

do drop by if u can.

how about u? got new speakers by now?

cheers,
wps

good to know lah. r u using t-amp to drive the tannoys?? r they floorstanders?

cheers,
wps

i am located in Putra Heights.

anytime after 10AM should be fine.

the new CDP is SCD-XA5400ES. u can bring along yr own CDP as well for comparison. i know jazzy will bring his.

the passive pre is the super-duper jazzirized design, from... jazzy!!!

of course a good dose of the T-Amps from u guys. i will have the jazzirized BoomTube for comparison as well.

at the end, we are still talking about music here. do bring along yr fav software. if possible, try to select tracks that are not too long. i suggest compile song tracks to minimized disc change.

cheers,
wps

the date is not fixed. i wanted to have it this saturday (11th July) but jazzy cannot make it. how about sunday? 19th of July. i think 12th also possible.

cheers,
wps

answers, in sequence:

yes, it is a Sony SACD player.

i think only new pre-amp from jazzy, besides the cdp. unless u guys have new stuff to show lah.

i don't think there is restriction on who can join - tt only mah, not uni entrance lah - but my audio room can only hold about 5 comfortably, can maybe squeeze to 7. the HT/living room can hold more loh.

cheers,
wps

it better be ready by then!!!

it will be a tricked out super-duper pre with RCAs and balanced XLR I/Os. was hoping he can make it so that i can drive two stereo amps at the same time. i have two rotel rb970bx from bro-in-law for testing. so jazzy will HAVE to make it on time!!!

just joking, leeshock will have a tube pre mah, so take yr time lah jazzy.

cheers,
wps

if end of month then susah lah, kliav around loh.

july 18th is still good for me atm. early aug also can.

if u guys have a current AV amp with HDMI input, u can bring as well, since the Sony can send raw DSD via its HDMI output. my AV no HDMI lah.

cheers,
wps

ht room and audio room together? the ht room only has a universal DVD player Pioneer DV-696AV lah. i will prefer one room at a time loh. still i am not against the idea.

so which date u guys is okay with? July 18th or Aug 1st? 18th will be better for me as i know i am free, Aug 1st still a distance away so other thing might come up.

either way, the earlier u guys decide, the better lah. pls add to this list the item(s) u will be bringing:

junchoon (host): Sony CDP, Pioneer DVD player, two floorstands (Epos M16 and Yamaha NS-555), BoomTube EX (w T-amps), rotel power amps, cat5 diy speaker cable.
jazzy939: diy CDP, diy passive pre-amp, monitor audio speakers (floorstands?), GainClone?
leeshock: tube pre
xtorm: diy tube pre, and possibly TA2020

cheers,
wps

seems that the response is too low for 18th of July.

wps

while waiting for u guys with the t-amp, and jazzy for his pre, i setup my temporary system:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/412500/+640#entry27582716

i am using a passive pre, two rotel stereo power amps, epos m16, and sony xa5400es. the amps are on loan/display as they belong to my bro-in-law. he is wishing to sale but no place to display those amps anymore, as he has "retired" from hifi.

cheers,
wps

my fren is selling his t-amp over in hifi4sale. rm380 with LDR volume control some more!

bro jazzy, did u get the LDR into your t-amp???

wps

i have not heard his t-amp lah, sorry.

this is his system:
