$10.40 for non-fragile

$19.50 for fragile

not sure abt it, but I dont think we need it

I'll wait for you guys to decide, too.

billed already

do we need insurance?

I've logged in and checked

they havent acknowledged the item yet

still 0 item(s) received

so I cant even request for anything.

What about retailer mark up?

maybe not in this case, but in many cases, I guess so

coz in sg, there isnt much to worry about losing customers due to higher price. the customers are happily spending more.

as I'm just a poor man here, every difference in pricing is ...different. that's why I like buying online

oh, one more thing

lately I find that websites are a lot friendlier than humans (shopkeepers, CSOs, etc etc)

despite all those, I'm glad to see and meet some good shops around

AA, LHS, and Stereo are good. Although I havent been to Stereo before, I would presume that aaron is a friendly guy.

well,

how much extra? depends on ur item and you can chk how much the shipping would be for a next day delivery or maybe 2 days at most

but for sure it gonna be costly

maybe you can try to consolidate another group buy.

it's reaching VpostUSA site soon

I dont know how you wanna join in

possible actually, if you wanna pay extra

I'll order a pair with the fastest local shipping, then can share the vpost shipping to sg

but the question is, are you willing to pay that extra amount

it's up for u to decide.

for the past few weeks been busy with SOHA board

and also the class A MOSFET power stage.

after those two have been taken care of, I did some cable jobs

1. Mini-mini canare F-12 using belden cat5E inside

2. Mini-mini of 1m length, using teflon insulated silver plated copper, stranded. then the wires are litz-braided

3. EMU-0404 custom breakout. using the same wire as item 2, also litz-braided

4. recabled a koss ksc35 for new_type (too lazy to type exact nick name of his)

using teflon spc too, with neutrik right-angled plug

hmm

no, not me

I dun wanna spend so much on headphones

I need to save up man...

for bookshelves maybe...

so 69 is the local pricing. I hope we can get at 40 or so (after shipping). possible?

status update:

JR has shipped the sporta pros to VPost location

here's the tracking site: http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking....1X1400335344397

it's by UPS ground

orderED 4 sporta pros

afbug: need advice

the JR site rejects my zip code for the billing address.

can I just put the vpost address as my billing address?

if possible, pm me ur contact number please

thanks

ordering now actually

wanna join sporta pro group buy?

decide ASAP pls LOL

hmm

it depends on how sensitive ur ears are?

20kHz is not that high freq. so, IMO, that's not very crucial

what other source of "incoherence" would you think of?

easiest way is to take out each of the wires inside the star-quad, then run thru some tests?

but some people sure say something like instrument cant measure, but the ears can

ermm yea

I just stated that it's not 100% shielded. just to avoid confusion

so still, errm no matter shielded or not, mini stereo jack or the 1/4" stereo jack, would not give you any "balanced" connection

define unbalance please

AFAIK, balanced connection needs + and - signal for each channel. i.e. Right+, Right-, Left+, Left-

the ground doesnt matter any more in a balanced connection

your cable, IMO is perfectly fine, it's just that it's not shielded. wat you assume might be just psychological effect
