    if u want confirmation, i can post it tmr so that you can save yourself a wasted trip or if you want, i can leave it with SE/Jaben and u can pick it up from them? I will gg to Jaben to test the GV & Xenos and I live near SE.

     

    hmmm....u might not be getting the GV5 :doh:

     

    i will be there tmr @ 12noon when they open.

     

    Oh you mean you have the flyer? lol I thought you saw their online ad. I think there is no need for you to leave it or post it la. Don't make it sound like I don't trust your eyesight. :P But nevermind, EG is near Jaben, I can drop by if they're open for business. (Hard to say as they're at Comex?)

     

    GV5, left one demo set, be the time I make it to Jaben (If I can make it), also don't know will it still be there or not. Want to buy also cannot la. I also told you the other time thru PM that I might not get it but if the sound is good....... :drool:

    Afbug: which charger you got for the 9V maha batt?? EG is selling the charger at $49 :ppth:

     

    nakedtoes, sabian:

    If the Maha charger works and promised as advertised, its worth the money although it seems overkill for a cheap amp. Power is important and especially so if Norm specify it and built the amp based on it. Plus, it can charge it in 2 hrs leh! Where got such thing for cheap 9V chargers? At best, its 8-12 hrs.

     

    Also have to note that this is a 9.6V rated batt. Cheap/ordinary chargers do not put out enough voltage to charge the batt effeciently. I got this advise from Thomas Distributing's site. A 9.6V batt requires a higher output voltage from the charger.

     

    http://www.thomasdistributing.com/mh-96v230.htm - Read the text in bold and red near the bottom of the page.

     

    I've used some cheap chargers and they're not so good and slow. So my advise if you're buying the Go-Vibe V5, go for the Maha batt and charger.

     

    sabian, topgun:

    Thanks for pointing out the 230mAh. They're selling it at Comex? I dun have their flyer. Printing errors can happen.

    I just got my 2 GoVibes this afternoon (reserved, my man!) :dance:

     

    For those who wants to audition, you better hurry! When I was there, there's only 1 demo set available, and another newly opened one for a young gentleman to audition.....and erm, that's it!

     

    Wah lao, I can't make it today! I going tomorrow afternoon. How much is it BTW? Or pm me the price? Thanks. :beer:

    Finally they have a name for it. Now let's see how it looks like.. hope the design isn't similar to the super.fi series.. cos it's sticking out too much for my liking.

     

    I remembering reading from UE's site that it will have the same design as the current super.fi models and will likely be maroon in colour. They will also have different colours to choose from or customise your earphone.

     

    I also don't like its desgin. :beer:

    Eastgear only have the 200mAh as the 230mAh version is fairly new. If Eastgear has the 230 ones, they surely list it on their site. I've been to their store a few weeks back and only got 200 ones. One fine day, they'll have them but have to wait la. Maybe by end of the year as they have to clear old stocks too.

     

    9.6V will out perform a 9V or 8.4V batt for sure but a 9.6V 200mAh Vs a 9.6V 230mAh batt in terms of batt life, surely you know the winner right? :D

    how does the SportaPro compare to the ksc75?

     

    Sporta Pro has different drivers to the ksc75 but still both sound similar, have the koss sound. Sportapro will be the darker sounding one because of its drivers and the stronger clamping force of its headband.

     

    Those that find the ksc75 lack bass and is a little too bright will either prefer a sportapro or a ksc75 with headband attached.

     

    So for me, the perfect balance is:

    sportapro drivers + ksc75's clips

    ksc75 drivers + sportapro headband.

     

    This is what I'm using. :holiday:

     

    If you got a LDM+, it pairs pecfectly with those Koss. :cans:

    lol i like harvester of sorrow from that album :DD

    second that. :cans:

     

    i recommend some megadeth too. :grin:

     

    Ah yes, Harvester, Blackened, Beholder, One, Straw etc. :cans:

     

    Megadeth is better for guitars IMO. Super shreading! For drumming, I think that Justice album is very very good. Puppets and Lightning isn't too bad as well but not as good as Justice to me.

    Not very good for the wallet when we have many hobbies :helpsmilie:

     

    Haha if you see cues as a work of art, then good luck to you. If you need just a cue for playing, no fear as you only need one cue and most people do not change cues once they find the right set-up. Set-up = Tip size, weight etc etc and the feel of the cue.

     

    One of the best value for money cues are Mastercue. I've them and they're very very good for the money. $140 can get you a brand new machined spliced one and it is the cheapest cue that have a base female joint to accept extensions.

     

    Of the 6 cues I posted, which is nicest? From the Mastercraft brand, I really like this one:

    try to use MS 1 padding, it is the same comfortable, and black in color

     

    Nope. Those MS1 pads are not as comfortable as the 414s to me. Different density of foam.

     

    T_T|||, my 414 holes are that size too. If you cannot take the extra treble, then have to get new ones and cut a smaller hole. You can try using a sharp metal bottle cap and press it hard, twisting and using a sharp pen knife to cut for a clean hole.

    how much will those cues cost?

     

    I add in the cost in my previous post. Mastercue cues' (The 1st two pic in pink background) prices are as posted and avaliable in SG for their production models. Custom ones have to order from the shop and wait for it to be made and ship here. I've seen and held both cues before and they look very much nicer and better in person.

    http://www.mastercue.th.com/

     

    Mastercraft cues' prices are exclusive of shipping and I don't think have a dealer in SG. These are full custom cues, have to order from him directly.

    http://www.mastercraft-cues.co.uk/10040/info.php?p=2&pno=0

     

    These pictures don't do justice to the cues I guess. :shocking:

    Lol! Pardon me, what is a 1/2 cue and 3/4 termilology in Snooker? You mean a joint in the centre for 1/2 and 3/4 of length from tip for 3/4? Haha.. i love butt joint for the 'feel' way back to your grip.

     

    I think i have the same concept with you in cues. Simplicity is the cool-est.

     

    loop_, this photograph was 'heavily' photoshop-ed for the Subaru WRC Rally car. The original colour is Blue. I changed the colour of the car to a Greenie for this forum. I used the original in a local scale modelling forum. I will post the original in the 'Photography' thread another day. :P

     

    Haha sorry. Yes 1/2 cue = half/center joint. 3/4 cue = butt joint. Pic of a 3/4 cue is below.

     

    Butt end with female joint is like the pic below. A hole at the butt end to accept/screw an extension. And yes, you literally screw in the extension into the hole. :lol: The pic below is also the design I choose. I ran out of ideas on the spot, just look for examples at the cues avaliable and choose this. I wanted some exotic wood, but can't make up my mind. So just go for a simple double white front splice.

    IPB Image - $300

     

    Its a simple design I choose and prefer. I've seen some complicated ones like the one below. It has 4 splices. Description = 4 secondary lower splices in "King wood" over blue veneers. This is the most I can take. :P

    IPB Image - $350

     

    I like these British cues too:

    http://www.mastercraft-cues.co.uk/10040/info.php?p=2&pno=0

     

    IPB Image - £130

    IPB Image - £130

    IPB Image - £130

    IPB Image - £135

    These will cost more no doubt but in British prices, £130 is cheap liao as the very same Mastercue PB4 cost £150 in UK. Prices are exclusive of shipping and if shipping cost £30, its SGD$90!!

    Nice pic. Looks cartoonish. :P I used to have some old F1 cars by Tamiya. Ferrari, McLaren Honda and a Benetton Ford.

     

    Did something crazy. In an age where 3/4 snooker cues are all the rage and are considered better, I just custom made a 1/2 cue! I find that 1/2 cues are technically more difficult to use in snooker, especially for cue ball control as the weigh is shifted nearer to the center. I hope my cue ball control will be better when I switch back to a 3/4 one. I also chose a small tip, 9.5mm one. Hoping that my stroke and accuracy will improve and generate copious amount of spin.

     

    The reason why I custom made because 1/2 cues with butt end female joint are rare these days. (Want to make use of my extensions) Nothing expensive or extravagant. Only a cheap Mastercue machined 1/2 one just for trying out and getting the feel of a center joint cue again.

     

    Been looking at snooker cues these days. :P Might be ordering a British handmade 3/4 one or handmade Mastercue in the future. I used to view cues as a tool like a tennis racket. I only need one. These days, they look like art to me. Some of the designs are nice but I only like simple designs. Fancy ones are a turn off to me.

     

    I'm loosing interest in audio again. lol.

    we've only got 8 teams in the league... dats too little!

    don be reluctant to join if you don know how to play... learn... its easy, and makes your weekend games more exciting!

     

    Yeah its easy and very good for the lazy gamer or weekend side entertainment. :P I find that 10 teams is just nice, easy to keep track. Too many, see also blur. Just see HWZ one, where you stand, must spend more time to see. lol.

    I think its a smart move by apple. Now they got a tag team partner in their corner when the real giant, microsoft makes an entry into the mp3 business.

     

    Creative not only win 100m, now they even hold hands with apple liao. Take about all out war, they can end up as lovers!

     

    I think the only one that can go head to head against Microsoft is Sony.

    Well.. you can mix both hobbies together..

     

    Organise a snooker session.. then 2 play at a time.. while the others can play with the toys!

     

    Haha must find a place that have a table to put all the amps and earphones. :lol: Actually, we can open the VIP room in WCRC and use it as a room for listening to those Audio stuff. Got a big green felt table to protect our gears from scratches and chairs. haha. Still can order food and drinks! Its quiet too! 1 hr approx $9-11.

     

    Incredible 147!

     

    Yes, incredible it was. Ronnie is quite simply the best player in cue sports.

     

    Ever heard commentary in Cantoese? My first time too! John Higgins' 147 in LG cup. I remember watching this on espn but its in English though!

    Ooooo I chose wrong captain again! :no:

     

    Top 3 scorer for week 2:

    1. alf amateur squad - 43

    2. 17FC & afbug athletic - 38

    3. Theatre Of Dreams - 36

     

    Top 3 in league standings:

    1 Theatre Of Dreams - 106

    2 afbug athletic - 98

    3 alf amateur squad -90

     

    I never tot Chelsea will lose and I got 2 Chelsea defenders. But I'm happy! haha. Wayne Bridge seems like a good buy. Cheap and score quite a lot of points already. If he remains in the first team, his price surely sky rocket. So might want to take a risk and buy him. FYI, I got him at 4.5m liao.

     

    I tell my rivials good info, nice ah?! :lol:

    2 dealers in THA for Grado

    but no dealer for Alessandro :no:

     

    anyone wanna be ? :D

     

    How about you? You be dealer for Alessandro in Thailand. :)) Or you can always take a short flight to Singapore and visit Uncle Wilson. :beer:

     

    But yeah, it depends on your amp actually. K701 is'nt as easy as a 32ohm Alessandro.

    I don't mind also haha but I'm going away for 2 weeks.

     

    1 thing bad about pool... when you go from snooker to pool.. then u go back to playing snooker again.. you will find that your aiming and accuracy is gone :P

     

    Oh then wait till you get back then. Haha yes, after playing pool and switch back to snooker, everything go haywire. :blush:

     

    I think I got bitten by the snooker bug after playing snooker again after a long layoff. Not so interested in audio these few days. Been looking a some new snooker cues. :P

     

    Here is something for you guys:

     

    Mr maximum; Ronnie "The Rocket" O' Sullivan's 147 break.

     

    World record fastest 147 in a competition match:

     

    His other 147:
