  1. Hmm....no pity la. Member's interests come and go esp mine. But I did not say quiting audio cos I know, 1 fine day, I'll be back! I'm just happy that my review help some made their decision and give a brieft intro. Actually it happened like this: Back in Sept/oct last year, I was busy and have to prepare for my overseas ICT in Nov. And I actually forgot to bring any music with me. Not even my FM radio. So for that duration, I did not listen to music and I did not miss listening to my equiptment even after I got back. I only start using my E500 again this Jan and the interest or passion is not quite the same anymore. I just dunno why. So I think its time to move on but I still read the forums sometimes.
  2. Gong Xi Fa Cai!! Year of the pig!
  3. Ha ha yah. Lost interest in audio at the moment. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
  4. Welcome to SGHeadphones!
  5. I saw a few ibuds in my ICT in Aust. Still stuck in Aust.
  6. Sorry I've not been updating and posting. For the past few weeks, my notebook koed but now its fix but now my keyboard's o and p keys are spoilt and so, I face difficulty in typing this sentence. Have to copy and paste. Next 3 weeks, I in Aust for ICT, so will not be posting. shhhssst! o and p keys are really impt!
  7. I also play for fun only. Its not too difficult la. Every games week, you're permitted to make one transfer free. If you want to transfer say 3 players, then one is free and the other 2 will cost 4pts each, = total 8pts deducted. You will still get a free transfer the next gameweek. Thank note, its gameweek, not actual week. So lets say this week got EPL games on Wed and Sat/Sun, its considered as 2 gamesweek and not 1. If you go on like this, you sure can catch up. I played last year and to maintain position in the table, need to score about 40-50++ pts on the average. To climb the table, its at least 60++ pts average. My captain scored a massive 0 pts last gameweek. C. Ronaldo got rested.
  8. You have to try the true 9.6V 230mah Maha rechargeables. See if it makes a difference. Jeremy, thanks for the reply over at the other thread. I'll check them out at SLS one of these days.
  9. Welcome to the jungle! A little late but still able to make it if you're good. Boy top scorer in your 1st week! At last, able to update the standings! Top 3 scorers of week 8: 1. East Luncheon - 63 2. Gunner Fc - 59 3. afbug athletic -57 Top 3 in the league after week 6: 1. Ballack of the World - 407 2. afbug athletic - 401 3. Gunner Fc - 377 League position remains unchange.
  10. Wow good price! Which Alan Photo? I will be buying some Eneloop AAs. Update on it later, much later cos Eneloop is said to be able to hold charge for long.

    Thumb screws

    May I know what are thumb screws? Those used on Xin's Supermacro, where you can screw and unscrew just by using your fingers?
  12. I think its also got to do with its supra aural design. Try changing pads and loosen the headband a bit. The headband has a piece of metal inside, so can bend to fit your head.

    Westone ES2

    Woah red hot! Matches your clickwheel. lol. Got snakey hiss?
  14. Dress shoes? Department store's Mens dept sure have. Taka have quite a range, you can try them. Or you can try Hush Puppies or Beatle Bug? Bata? If really want to save $$$, go emart and buy SAF no3 shoes!
  15. Here is a little low down on the E500. Technically, it is better than UM2. Details are amazing compared to UM2. E500's sound sig is little flatter and thus, dun have as much impact and emotional as UM2. You've to listen to the E500 for at least a few days to realise what it can do or capable. It will not impress first hand or reveal its capability. I'm not a fanboy, the E500 is still not perfect. I find it a little boring at times compared to UM2 and I HATE the cables. Pampered by Westone's cable already. Vs the ER4S, its bass and comfort is miles ahead. It lose out on treble energy, details is not better but probably on par. I think the E500 is a capable earphone. Suits many types of genre of music, more so than UM2 or ER4. As for Triple.fi Vs E500, it boils down to perference I guess but I find it a bit hard to swallow esp those iLounge reviews, many own the UE 10Pro. I figuered they'll like the Triple.fi. So I think their review can be taken little more seriously.

    Building the PINT

    Haha your temp casing power leh! Part no for the knob I got is: 16H-2D-A & 16H-2D-B (1 of them is black and the other silver) FYI, there're many knobs/designs avaliable at Farnell, so you can take a look around but taken note of the knob size and internal diameter. If other knobs have the same specs as the one I got, you probably can use it. Edit: I remembered; Koba at People's Park Center also have lots of knobs. You can try them but have to really search for what you want. Once you're there, you'll know what I mean. The thing is, I dun think they have the knob I have. So if you want the same knob as me, its better to buy from Farnell.
  17. Haha Black Mamba, Brown Burmese Python and Orange Eyelash Viper? Must have the King.....King Cobra or Taipan. These really look nice, have to make a trip to Jaben one of these days. Anyone know its approx length and is it possible to have one end L plug and the other straight?
  18. Hmmm....I'm suprised that those people at iLounge don't fancy the new triple.fi 10 as much as the E500 as some of them are 10 Pro owners. But after listening to the E500, I don't want to listen to any other earphones I got. Maybe its because of triple.fi's flat sound signature as described by them, don't excite. And I tot E500 can be flat at times, not as exciting or emotional as UM2.
  19. Forgot to update this week. Low pts scoring week for many. Some hit jackpot. Top 3 scorers of week 7: 1. Ballack of the World - 47 2. Theatre Of Dreams - 44 3. afbug athletic - 40 In our league, max still less than 50 pts. Top 3 in the league after week 6: 1. Ballack of the World - 365 2. afbug athletic - 344 3. Gunner Fc - 322 League position remains unchange. This week no games due to internationals.
  20. That was a cool Roadie case! Those UEs stick out quite a bit. Feed my Frankenstein But its design is nice. Initially, maroon was chosen I think and you can customise your colour in future.
  21. Yeah from the pics, the new Nano seem slightly bigger but apple says its thinner only. PA2v2 is not a good guage as any kind of rechargeable batt will last long in it. You can try charging it and leave it stored in a case or so for 1-2 months and see if it can hold charge as promised but its gonna be a long wait to see results.
  22. I done it on both my PX100, Sporta Pro and KSC75. For KSC75, its too bright after the mod, so I snap on the SportaPro headband instead of the clips. Sounds better on the headband to me. Stronger bass but its treble don't get overwhelm, the mod probably helps.
  23. xenocide, thanks for the pics. Is the new Nano longer or the same size? I also notice in your sig that you're using those Eneloop batts. Good? Hold charge approx how long?
  24. Ooooo customs! Not a likely route for me as of now. Ya I got my E500 already and I think the whole cable is a pain to use. The slider and cable very grippy and stiff. Probably got pampered by Westone's cables. I tot of buying a male/female Neutrik jacks and go LHS and ask them to terminate a cable for me but I dunno where to get straight Neutrik jacks, LHS only got Neutrik male L plugs. Must find out more.....
