heady

Sorry guys, just got back from an oversea trip. Internet in Australia not like in Singapore, sigh. Please give some time to catch up with my work.

Thanks CK, $16 is not cheap. It isn't one of those cheapo types which just chews up wires. Mine looks similar but not identical. Can't remember how much it cost.

Hi CK, Long time no see. Perhaps I am unfair to say made in China is no good. There are quality staff from China too. What I meant are those really cheap ones which are not sharp and don't cut the insulation cleanly at all. The one in the picture looks good. Made in China? BTW, badbad2000, Koba is closed on Sundays but opens till late on weekdays, 9pm, if I am not wrong. It is at level 3 Peoples Park Complex. Good place, friendly people.

You can get both at Sim Lim Tower. Some shops are open on sunday but not many. For wire stripper, buying an expensive ie. better, branded one is more worth it. The China made cheap type is just waste of money. So better to go down to Sim Lim on weekday evening and get from the more pro shop.

Hey, looks like I can attend this meet. I can be one of the photographers. I can bring : 1. Portable CD player -> optical cable -> y1 -> mini3 -> DT150 2. PC -> USB Monica/Mojo -> SOHA/JISBO (in v ugly case) -> DT150 If anyone interested in the above combos, that is. Very mid-fi.

I think must pay to be CASE member first before can complain. Nothing is for free in SG, only sgheadphones.

Guys, I will post the group buy as soon as the boards become available. Let's hope this will be soon. If any one of you guys have the time, please find out what's available from Farnell and what we need to get from Digikey. It will make things easier when we set up the group buy. I will be busy for the next 3 weeks and will not have much time to set this up. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Can reuse the y1 we built but sayang lah, after putting into nice case with panels. Aiyah, might as well buy another and built it from new. Building it is not difficult but buying the parts were a pain. I dunno why I so itchy. Now I am listening to a USB-Monica+Mojo feeding a SOHA-JISBO amping a DT150 and it's so blissful listening to Diana Krall. But we DIYers must built, right?

The ATH M50 is really good for the price. However, the earpads are not quite circumaural, need to check fit. It is a studio phone and so is very neutral. Some may feel it too cold and clinical. While I like the ATH M50 and had one until I bought a second hand Beyer DT150 which has much better sound quality and is circumaural. But new, DT150 is quite ex. And the Dt150 is dog-ugly, whether new or second hand...

ESW9 are very nice phones, I like the sound and also the real leather pads but they are not circumaural, ie they rest on the ears and not around them. By all means try them out.

Hi Stephen, Jojo gave you very good advice. The two shops he mentioned, ie Stereo Electronics and Jaben are the two best stocked headphone shops in Singapore. Both have good knowledgeable management but also may have new staff who are "pushy" or clueless. Go to both, audition the headphones and then buy from the place you like better. ATH have plenty of good circumaural headphone models. Depends on your taste and wallet to choose from them. Go audition, nothing to loose but some time well spent. Regards

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/gamma-2-2...tml#post5949860 Gentlemen, fellow DIYers, Warm up your soldering irons! Seems AMB has sent the y2 boards for manufacturing. Any one interested? Please note that you will also need to order a y1 board at the same time. If got interest, then I will try to organise the group buy. Maybe mouz will help? Buying the boards is the easy part, getting the BOM will be more challenging, especially for us in SG. If can get all the parts from Farnell, then no sweat. But if need to buy from Digi-Key, then a bit problem if done individually. So a group buy will make sense. What say you all? Regards.

I think this is what they look like: No offense, Aron and Cyrus. Just kidding.

Is that why you made so many "wu liao" posts with just a phrase?

Wow, you are almost 6 months late. Desperate to sell something huh.

stjoe - you want to post the shop name in Adelphi which sell opamps? I am curious as I have not heard of any shop selling opamps in Adelphi before. Building up your post count, eh. heh heh.

Tried VPOST to order from Amazon?

Try a shop in Sim Lim Square, level 3. The name I think is UF or something like that, they specialise in cables and connectors.

I am sure LHS in Level 2, Sim Lim Tower will carry the Belden Cat 5 and 6 cables.

Hi, I am sorry if you are offended. All I ask is that you declare your non-interests in Glow Audio. It is fine to introduce any new product here but you just posted a picture with a link and just a very short comment. Reading your post, it was not clear to me if you are spamming or trying to post about an amp which interests you. Hence my request for clarification. Perhaps a little more information about why the amp interests you enough to post the picture and link would have been more meaningful? Regards

Thanks dreaming for your answer that you are not a dealer. Can you please state that you are not associated in anyway to Glow Audio? A simple statement of "No, I am not associated with Glow Audio in any way." is sufficient. Thanks.

Hi dreaming, Are you associated in any way with Glow Audio? If so, this post is advertising. Regards

When you register with VPost, they will send you info on how to order. Basically, the package is sent to the VPost address in USA which then collect enough packages for a standard container (or something similar) and then send it to Singapore Post which then sends it to you.

I am not in the market for the HD800, too rich for my wallet. But what you have said made perfect sense, if Senn's local office is interested to promote their audiophile products.

Tried Farnell?
