2 Pairs. 1 pair stock and the other with its pads holed out and fitted on a SportaPro headband. My SportaPro drivers are on the KSC75's clips.

 

No mods for me. Too bright already with holed out pads and earclips. But got colour mod. Painted them blue and red.

Check out the Shuffle! It even have a built in clip! Woo! 8GB Nano same price as 30GB iPod. Hmm.....

Has anyone successfully bought one from Sennheiser Asia? I emailed them to ask about this - they said the price is S$35. However, I haven't heard back from them since 1.5 weeks ago when I emailed to say I'd like to order it and ask how long it'd take.

 

Har? I think they don't do online sales. They'll only reply with a quote or order if its out of stock. Its avaliable at their HQ at Alexandra, full address at Sennasia's webpage or can call them. I was there a few months back and was told it cost $25 without GST. So its better for you to make a trip down. Just call first to make sure they got stock.

WAH! Freidel 18 pts!!!

Welcome to the jungle! We've got fun and games!

Happy birthday to the 3 of you!

Haha. Not very sure what exactly is snooker. Is it different rules and stuff, usually played with larger tables right?

 

Uber noob here, only play pool at the smallest table (dunno the exact size also...) at my friend's condo. Always tio lucky shots cos the table is small!

 

Haha its like that when you're starting out. I took more than an hour to finish a game of snooker when I was learning the game.

 

The big green table with coloured balls in 'solid colours' is snooker. Tables are 12 feet X 6 feet.

http://auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i:2nd%20Hand%...0Table:93419500

 

Those smaller tables with bigger pockets and played with both 'solid and strip coloured' balls are pool tables. Size ranges from 9 feet, 8 and 7 feet.

(Table's breadth is 1/2 of its length)

 

I've narrowed down to thses 3. Will post some pics after I got it.

 

nice stand afbug!!!!

 

Thanks. Its just a simple wooden banana stand with a curved metal hook that I removed. Bought for $5 at Robinsons during GSS. The Senn clamp that I attached comes with a 485/595. It will set you back $25 if you're to buy them from Senn Asia.

 

The plastic one from Diaso looks interesting. I should drop by one of these days.

That is a fine looking amp but boy! What a box! How it sound? AD8397 in it?

i think the M7 will look quite decent.

It's your picture which makes it look unflattering. lol!

Are you ordering the cue sticks online or is there a shop selling such stuff?

Pool noobie here...

 

Good choice. M7 seem like the more popular design. Yeah these pictures don't do justice to the cues but these pictures are the best there is. The cues look much better in person. These cue manufacturers should get some proper photography done!

 

These cues can be ordered online to your own custom specifications or buy off the shelf from shops in SG. I'll be buying from the shops, no need to wait, cheaper and I'm quite happy with the designs. BTW, these are snooker cues, not pool cues.

 

I've also narrowed down my selection. These are the ones I'm likely to buy:

 

PB5 and EX2 are very similar and uses the same 'King wood' splices but EX2 will cost me $50 more. PB1 was my first choice but now leaning towards EX2 or M7.

 

gin. Here is a nice pic of the M6, but its not really what I want.

[Top-Gun], thats why I like the PB1. Simple and pro looking but its a little 'too easy' for cheap knock-offs to copy the 'design'. Its actually a standard/universal design that all snooker cue manufacturers provides.

 

zonalblitz_audio, flames on butt? I never see before. But I've seen and hold the PB3 upclose and personal before and indeed, it is quite a looker. Those green colour are splices only, coloured wood I guess. PB3's description: Maka Burr wood over thick yellow / thin black veneer. I have a rough idea of which wood I like. I'll add the cue's description in my 1st post shortly.

 

PB1 is a 3/4 cue. All cues here have a butt/base joint for extensions.

 

I only like the PB series cue, PB1, PB3, PB4 and PB5. The rest, only M4, M7 and EX2 I like.

 

Anymore opinions? No need to have knowledge of such stuff, I just want to know whats your opinion and what is nice to you.

lol Many of the designs are too much for me too, especially some of those M and Ex series cues.

 

There is a whitish one here, but I can't afford it. I see the price, saw

Hi guys, I'm in the market for a snooker cue and have an idea of what I want but however, I still cannot make up my mind. So here got more traffic, I hope can have more opinions.

I think these are nice and personally, I think I'll go for the PB1 but its design is common. So what you say?

Errr... I have the glass optical fiber (toslink) but I don't think I can connect it to the CT-720. Do I miss anything?

 

Those toslink and coaxial connectors are for full sized CDPs and MD decks etc. For PCDPs' optical out and PMDP's line in, its a 3.5mm plug. (like a earphone one and pictured above) The optical line out is also a normal line out, so you can use with normal mini-mini IC to an amp.

 

I got my cable from Sony long time back. They should still have them or you can try Panny or other makes.

Very cool! If only there's a wooden version with the same design.....

Will be going to daiso very soon to check out some more 'lobangs'

 

I got a wooden banana stand but different design. It comes with a metal hook instead. I replaced it with a Senn holder:

 

Most Sony PCDPs after the launch of the Minidisc players/recorders will have an optical line out. Most CDPs will have an optical line out too.

 

Yes, jasonhanjk is correct. You'll see a red light in the optical line out but I forgot when will it be lit. I think its when you plug in a optical cable. The optical cable should have a small 'glass' tip at the end of the 3.5mm plug. I used to have them but lost already. If not, I can check.

I just bought a 9.6V 230mAh battery from Eastgear - costs $19.00. And yeah, the 24V Firestone Amp AC adaptor in Jaben fit the GoVibe (the demo set), but the one I have at home is too big?!

 

I went round checking the prices for regulated 24V AC adaptors with changeable tips, and they range from $24-$79. All are switching types, and feature a big, honking, transformer module

 

And yeah, the GoVibe V5 sounded divine with the AKG K601. I really should be trying it out with my other phones, but I was having too much fun with the AKG K601

 

Ooooo so EastGear has the 230mAh already? Thanks dude, I'll check them out.

 

Uncle Wilson showed me a power supply, its quite small (Might be the Firestone one?) but I'm not sure which one is it. You've to check with him but I think he still don't have any for sale yet.

 

But I think it depends on how you want to use the go-vibe? If mainly home use, then get the power supply, if not, I think those Maha batts are fine.

 

Don't get the Nexcell one. 8.4V batts only.

Your close up pics are quite nice but the table is not.

I went to the Senn booth and the iRiver booth also.

I wanted to see if they have the 595 in red, they appear clueless when I enquire, also 1 of the staff

says there's no red colour.

 

iRiver staff confirms that they are not making HDD-based DAPs anymore.

 

Actually they're correct. There is no red HD595 or other colours. Only avaliable in that standard colour.

 

The Magic Red HD595 and Aqua Blue HD555 are avaliable in Europe only. That means, USA also don't have. The MX700.....is it 700? Is also avaliable in Europe only.

 

Coincidentally I saw WWE Rock look-alike visiting Nikon and ATH booths.

 

Did he lay the smackdown on them?

Wah lao! No point arguing anymore la. Lets get on with life and listen your your fav cans/music instead of making yourself agitated here!

 

Man, its just a small problem and it can escalate to a bigger one. I'm out of here, if I offended anyone with my post, sorry. Goodnitez.

Ya la. I go OT because of your previous post and I blame you. lol We have different ideas of entertainment so it seem. So each to his own.

 

So back to the point, why only half of members post here? I think the older members had move on with life and have commitments or other interest.

 

Some are shy? Or have nothing much to post. Some people prefer not to post I guess. Members come and go.

' date='2 Sep 2006, 11:29 PM' post='76796']

Err, that's not quite true.. I've had seen customers on Friday who walked into Mr W's shop and was like saying how entertained they were over those postings, so yeah! It was fun...

 

If those people find such postings fun and get entertained, lol I got nothing to say.

I hope no one gets offended by my post. Thats not my intention. But I think bashing or flaming a person will not solve the problem. Will only invite more arguements.

 

' date='2 Sep 2006, 11:08 PM' post='76788']

YGPM.

 

Where is the PM?

The way I see things posted here and the various threads; don't like the posting style and then go on and bash him. To me, thats childish and have no respect for that person. Its like, he likes a certain earphone or music style and you don't like, so bash him. Don't like or cannot understand, ask or pm the person to change or clarify and not bash, flame or snigger openly. Think what? EDMW Vs Flowerpod ah?! Please don't bring this kind of behaviour here. If you don't respect people, don't expect people to respect you.

 

Want this to be a mature forum, please take a look at some of your posting first.

 

This is just a small problem. Its not like he go bashing people. Don't like or understand what he is saying, just ask or pm him. If you don't understand whats been posted, isn't it your problem?

 

The purpose of this thread is not about this topic anyway. Please respect the threadstarter as well when you go OT.

 

Thanks for reading!

dun go EAST gear they are closed...

 

Just as I thought so! I know I should not say this but their prices at Comex isn't really good at all. eg, that very same Maha charger was going for $59 during the last PC show and their site list them as $47. Its a good chance to tok carrot head yeah! I'll never buy from them during shows anymore.

 

I did see the actual flyer posted online. But as everyone is speculating if it is a typo. They are at comex doing a roaring biz, their Maha AA running low. All the pent up demand from the disappearng Sanyo.

 

I hope unker brings in somemore GV for demo if the demo gets sold. I have kinda taken my foot off the pedal for the hunt but I will need to get the amp(xenos or GV5)/ portable speaker (shd be Travelsound i300), iRiver T10 2GB (thanks to zeph altho T10 ain't the prettiest but normal battery & UMS clinched it for me) by end Nov. Going on a trip and will be driving lots so the music is essential.

 

I really like the CK7 more each day (thank god this forum exists) and really miss home.

 

Ok. I'll wait till the end of the PC show and try their store. For long travels, AA batts will be better perhaps? Easier to replace if they do dead. But the GV5 can last like 75hrs according to Norm's site. Surely Uncle Wilson will bring in more GV5 as I think IT IS the amp to get for those on a budget. If they're anything like its previous versions, then the GV5 will be a winner.

 

Getting a Travelsound means more batts to bring. My old one uses 4XAAA. Travelsound is an active speaker, you don't need to amp them.
