hi all, Sorry for not following the postings as I was busy in Suzhou. I miss those good old days!!! Ruach, didn't recall seeing u at that meet! Where were u hiding? Blues/(whatwasyouroldnick), Thought you moved onto photography! Anyway, saw your work at fotologue, nice!!! I remembered Tee too! He brought me over to his hifi flat in Boon Lay, he's still with Temasek Holdings?

It has been almost 5 years since I've first joined SG Headphones and looking at the Jaben saga and on dealer-sponsored forums issue, I kinda miss the good old days. Here are some stuff that I can recall. The website was first started by Adrian, aka ablaze, presumably on the 20th Jan 2003. I recall his rave then was his Sony CD3000 and EarMaxPro amp. He would purchase something and then realise he actually wanted something else. Then, there are the helpful souls that are always willing to help out the noobs. Clarence, aka Mackie, Rameish and N@z, thanks for all the advices! Sadly, Mackie had chosen to leave the scene, I kinda miss talking to him. The first gathering, AFAIK, was at AMK Ave 1, location sponsored by a kind soul whose nick I just can't recall. There were like 15 of us whom brought along CDPs, amps and headphones. That was fun!!! The second gathering was organised by Ben and held at Singapore Poly's clubhouse (or something like that). More people joined in this time, with N@z and matbonn flying over from Brunei and naturally, more stuff to see and hear. It was fantastic, except for the fact that we ran short of power sockets! I can't seem to recall the rest though. Everyone, please feel free to chip in and share your thoughts and memories. P.S. I starting this thread as I'm really free and have nothing to do at hand.

You guys are making me itch!!! Looks like I have to go down to Mr Yang's office this weekend to take a look. I had a chat with him and it available at a promotional price of 890RMB.

One of the reason why 1st gen iPod Shuffle sounds good is the MP3 audio decoder from Sigmatel, while the rest uses PortalPlayer. However, Apple did a turn-around for the current gen Shuffle and Nano, moving to Samsung instead. Tried it and didn't think that it sounds as good as the Sigmatel.

I am looking for Westone UM2, need to deal either today or tomorrow as I will be flying off to China on Wed. Please sms me your offer at 9841-6545. Thanks!

Please check your PM.

"Extremely" is definitely the right word to use! For custom clearance, make sure that the photo attached looks exactly the same as that in the crates, even the colour of the wires must be the same. Know why they are picky? It's not hard to guess.

Wait till you try to ship things into China, that's even worse. Consider you guys lucky that it's only a week.

I can give you my EI EL84 matched pair from Frankie. Seldom used. Problem is you have to collect either from Yishun MRT or AMK MRT, after work. Seem liked you bought a Cayin HA-1A. BTW, too much mullard not good. Tried before.

Yang is based in Shenzhen.

Me too!
