  1. Yah and this is from the westone website: Jaben Networks Westone Elite Series and Universal Series in-ear musicians monitors. 1 Coleman Street 04-16 The Adelphi Singapore 179803 Tel: (+65) 6337 0809 E-mail: Adelphi@jaben.net web: http://www.jaben.net/ Stereo Electronics, LTD Westone Universal Series in-ear musicians monitors. Stereo Electronics, LTD 1 Woodlands Square #04-08 Causway Point Singapore 738099 Tel: 65 6894 3601 Fax: 65 6894 0326 Is SE not a customs certified dealer or is the website just not updated?
  2. I gotta say, that might be the best way If there's no financial contribution, i think there should be just one kind of member.. well, other than a few mods i guess
  3. The thing is, the tips aren't fake.. Westone isn't the only company that can make custom tips One thing that no one else mentioned is that the only non-um56 custom tips jaben was ever involved with are the glitter ones All the rest are made by westone, and you misunderstood me about the price Heck, while i was there in august-ish i saw him getting a package from westone containing 4 or so pairs of custom tips ps. I'm getting an ES2 via jaben, and i sent the earmolds myself to westone because i'm currently overseas
  4. ... SE has not been an authorized Westone dealer for long About a month or so ago when i checked their website, the only singapore distributor was jaben Even now, they're only listed for their universal products, nothing about customs Maybe the (unique) UM2 custom tips at jaben aren't the UM56, but people who got them knew them as a one-off tips, one of a kind thing, not UM56 by westone. They work well, and all the other tips seems to be the normal westone ones, so what's the problem? Not very long after jaben was banned from the forums, SE started offering the ES2 (which people usually go to jaben to buy) for a price that's lower than anywhere in the world, even america. As i understand it, SE or any other overseas distributor has to cover shipping costs to america I'd call that bad business ethics, draw your own conclusion.. To the mods, even if you find this post accusing, etc etc, please don't delete it. I think everyone needs to see all sides of the argument EDIT: here's a quote from the 'fake' UM56 owner: To be fair, Wilson of Jaben Network has NEVER represented to me that they were Westone UM56's. I remembered that he had merely said that they were custom earmolds meant for the Westone UM2. It transpired that the first batch of earmolds were sent to another company for fabrication.
  5. I'm getting a pair from uncle wilson too How long did it take since you made impressions until you get them? I'm getting mine black/black (trying to make it as unnoticable as possible) Oh and another thing, overall which custom fit did you like better? the one taken with open or closed mouth? Mmmmm can't wait
  6. I've heard the king w/ the triangle test cd that uncle wilson has Oh that first track just sounds soooo beautiful I must've looked stupid grinning the whole time while listening to it Thanks uncle wilson (and the guy that owns it) for the great oppurtunity!
  7. Oh damn, you beat me to it.. Well, not really, my favourite is live at sin-e (legacy edition) but i don't know if it's really an album
  8. They're not really famous.. AT ALL Here or around head-fi, yeah, but that only makes a tiny portion of the whole society Same goes with HF-1, hardly anyone (the general public) have heard of them I don't think they even sold that many, even many people in these forums would think that spending $1000 US dollars on a headphone is absurd, even though it sounds OOOHHH SOOO SWEET So can you tell i want one?
  9. K81dj has almost as much annuation as an iem 15db vs 20db I personally like iems, i think they're more comfortable The bose noise cancelling system does work, the headphone just sounds like crap for its price
  10. I heard it yesterday It's a whole different experience I also tried a koss electrostatic, nothing like it It's just... music as i know it, but better EVERYTHING is better
  11. Yeah, that's davis guitar in peninsula, i go there to get strings everytime i go to singapore (the ONLY place i know, anywhere in the world that carries red acoustic DR strings, don't know why) Thanks guys, i guess i'll just look around adelphi EDIT: OH wow, i just browsed google for a bit and found where luther music is and, guitar 77, both at 5 coleman street LOTS of things to do
  12. Hey all, only 2 more days until singapore for 3 days I decided to visit Jaben, SE, sim lim square and davis guitars in peninsula Does anyone know any audiophile cd shops there? (looking for jazz cds, john pizzarelli in particular) and any other good guitar shops? Sorry for the OT questions, i don't know where else to ask
  13. Don't buy 2 grados, you'd just end up listening to only the more expensive one I suggest a beyer or senn
  14. An mp3 file can't possibly sound BETTER than a cd Maybe sounds equal to the listener (who knows) but it can't be better than the real source uncompressed>compressed. always. This made no sense.. Cds are not at 128kbps, your friend is lying. and how much better is just a matter of how much difference you can hear cds will always be around.. hopefully I personally use 224AAC, i can only tell the difference up to there (other than ALAC, but not enough space in my ipod )
  15. Sorry mate, but i'd have to disagree here.. Early led zep, page was technically much better, maybe its because of less/no drugs Want proof? Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww9CpcoN-og You dig?
