Strange, I thought I posted a reply, but it seems that it wasn't captured.

 

Yah, I thought I posted somethin 2, saw it yesterday but was gone this morning.

Mystery? Some'tin wrong with the server or deleted by the moderator I wonder ?

The question again is which Staxs will b ETAing in 2 weeks? The OMEGAS ?

another pic

A almost new in box NC headphones for sale with full accessories.

Used only for a few hours.

S$120 negotiable.

The ultimate question is how much did u pay for it?

I have just heard what is possibly one of the most detailed and refined cans around - the Stax. Although I only had the opportunity to listen to the Basic 2020 system, it still sounded far superior to dynamic can I've heard. Given that it comes with its own dedicated amp, the price at S$980 list can best be described as a bargain, highly recommended for classical, vocals, jazz and even pop, perhaps with the exception of rock. I heard a not run-in pair, so the bass should improve. Great stuff.

 

For those interested (hint to HPC), Kingsley will be bringing in the 3030, 4040 and the Omega II(I think) shortly.

 

Adhoc, for classical music, this can is ideal, beautiful tonality and inner detail.

Wah, the Omegas, but production of the IIIs should be delayed for sometime since the IIs are so popular. Can't wait to audition them.

Someone will be getting his SACD player this saturday. Extra bonus + a wooden remote control no less.

All burnin after 1 week. Tested it with some HD650 + Mobius, yummy. Very neutral sounding, this amp has got a very unique signature, none I have ever come across but nontheless non very ss sounding, IMHO that is money well spent.

How does it compare to, say, the xin supermini? does it do crossover?

nope, no xfeed.

looks like a distant cousin to a Sugden. What other toys did you get?

Bought a Xindak SCD-2 SACD player too for a bargain, half the price of the same model offered by the local agent but one hack of a heavy 12kg player to hand carry back

 

Wanted to buy the Xindak Power Conditioners for Mackie and Fuwen but they were unfortunately out of stock + there will be a one month waiting period.

Oh, u gotten the SCD-2. Do let us know if u've gotten newer toys and want to sell it off.

There is a secret weapon enroute to a buddy of mine, time will reveal the truth

I saw the latest Norah Jones in China for RMB10 which is S$2, look just like the real thingie.

The crackling thingie is not so much about the quality of the pressing but basically due to bad mastering n engineering, which can be fixed in post production.

Partnered and tested it with the Musical Fidelity A3.2 + Van Den Hul ic + AT L3000, for a just out-of-the-box unit I must say that it kick some ass. Tonally if compared with the XP-7 it lacks a little "whack" on the low bass region but than again my XP-7 is also well burn-in. For less than S$200, I guess the "Original" master is a bargain, with external power supply n opamp "rollable".

Burnin-in for the next five days, will post some impressions later.

RMB1200

Bought this just new amp by "Original", very nice + external power supply.

A roughly translated spec:

- Power fission design, toroid transformer with Independent external power supply

structure housed in a close aluminium alloy chasis.

- Pseudo Aluminium n Acrylic housing

- ALPS micro-volume pot.

- Independent R/L channels design.

- Two 5532 op amp.

- Profesional 6 pin power input receptacle.

- S/N Ratio:100dB

- Distortion Factor:0.0015%

- Dynamic Range:96dB

- Frequency Response:5Hz-20KHz

Yes, I'm back. FYI there is a shop on the 3rd or fourth floor just next to a second hand dealer that have the LothX series + the Omegas full range speakers. Alternatively you can checkout the Klipschs at Tat Chuan Audio on the ground floor of Adelphi.

Thanks for the info.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can pickup these connectors cheaper?

Will need half a dozen of both male n female plugs.

Thanks

bump for the last time. Monday will be the last day to make order.

Or it could be dirt or hair that got stuck to the drivers, try dusting them out.

And yes b4 I forget, a tip on getting good retail service anywhere is - always to address the service staff by their first name if you can, a real ego booster for most + will definitely and in my case get me the attention all the time.

No Hey, helo miss/mr, "execute me" please:rolleyes:

Did anyone actually bother to find out the names of any of the service staff?

Ask for Douglas Hung, he is the most accomodating person that I've ever met in the business. Why bother with the rest when you can deal with one the "Hung" in the Hung Brothers.

I'll be travelling to China next week and thinking bout organizing a power buy for the above mentioned n recently much hyped Xindak power outlet. If I can get a minimum 8 order the price will be S$200 each, which is $50 cheaper than the local price of $250. So if anyone is interested, let me know by 2 March latest.

Cheers

Confirmation:

1. Mackie

2. Fuwen

3. Myself

Just got myself a new job that gives me company stock options and travel around asia-pac as well.

I think it is Fuwen - he did mentioned to me about some magazine guy he knew when I sold him the Porta Corda some months back. Need to get my hands on this mag fast.
