  1. The typical white-van story... They're basically con-artists.. Scamming unknowing people into thinking that the speakers they paid $300+ for are actually $2k+ speakers when they're only $50 speakers from China etc... You get the idea..
  2. That is only half-correct. If it's just a virtual-ground, you can choose to connect it to mains earth. The problem is that the ground channel output of a PPA is not the same as the input ground from the RCA's. It's an actual active channel. If you have devices in the chain that tie the signal ground to mains earth, you're going to cause the ground channel to oscillate were it's output connected to mains earth as well.
  3. Yes, you should isolate the headphone ground from mains earth.

    GS1000

    Bigger cans are always better! In more than one way...

    GS1000

    Thanks to a very generous member, I was able to get a quick listen albeit on a very unfamiliar setup.. I can safely say that it's in the HP1000's territory. Feeling very poisoned... *ack*
  6. Are the input wires taken from the core of a coaxial cable? It looks to be the core conductor with teflon jacket out from something like a RG cable.
  7. That Goot TQ-77 is a good soldering tool.. I've been using mine since 1995..
  8. It's an aluminium box actually.. Pretty nice and decent case for the price. Unless, of course, you're a cheapo arse...
  9. Amoi is the choice of most who are into Home Theatre and HDTV locally. Even in China, it's THE choice for those in the upper-class.
  10. Many setups fail when listening at lower volumes. Your listening volumes at HMV are likely to be much higher than when you're home. Hence, the setup there has a much better chance of performing if your home setup iisn't up to mark. Next, you do not yet know where your sonic preference lies. As you audition and try various headphones and amps, you'll start to find what kind of sound you like. Then you can get a higher-end headphone setup according to your preference.
  11. I'm keen.. Would like to see if such a setup can deliver bass-slam at my listening volumes.
  12. Actually, I did speak to Frankie about this. He mentioned that the Sun 2A3 isn't very suitable for this kind of music on lower sensitivity speakers. It can deliver on the music but not the bass slams and definitely not if you don't have a listening area the size of your typical HDB room.
  13. I'd not either.. Each of those things has a 5m blast radius and 12m shockwave radius. If one goes, all of them will..
  14. Heh... Was Ah Ho already there back then? Really gotta ask...
  15. I doubt you can get one now. For transporting, an A4 folder case with some foam cut-outs works like a charm. *may not fit over-sized headphones like the HP-1000 or GS-1's.
  16. Haha... You prolly haven't seen the Les Dames forums then..
  17. I miss the steak at Steakhut there.. lol.. And Klang bak-kut-teh too..
  18. Striking a conversation with a stranger, boy or girl with high end earphones is not too bad. Afterall, both have common interest and using good earphones. But taking a pic..........wah this kind of glory i not interested! So i go again: Me: So can i take a pic of you wearing those E5? She: WHAT?! For what?! You want to plaster my pic all over the net? Me: But I'm from sgheadphones!!!! She: So? Me from flowerpod!!! Me: Har..? Simi flowerpod? I gots ipod!! Want to see a girl with a high end can, easy la. Just ask GF or sister to model for you. Ain't flowerpod more or less gone already?
  19. Are you looking for a jack or a plug? If you're looking for a mini-stereo plug to mini-stereo plug cable, get the Neutrik's. They're, by far and large, the least problematic. There are some nice plastic MIJ plugs but you'll need to hunt for them in SLT.
  20. Looks like it needs an external psu.
  21. 202.156.1.38 for Starhub is fine too.
  22. Don't have any issues with using either 202.156.1.58 or .38 DNS servers though. Maybe it's a corporate side DNS?
