Gouki, if possible can give address as well. I'm going there this Friday. Want to check out some cans.

Snow Rose is good, although I'm only listening through my PC without amp and a crappy headphone.

So many songs to try out. Thanks ablaze for the link.

Is it? Any others to recommend? I really like the recording for Jieli as he could hear her breathe, my fav happens to be the first song, an oldie which my mum told me is sung originally by Zhou Xuan.

Yup, you'll never know what will go wrong...

I guess Guyferd and I will go ahead without you then. Time to find some bargaining power!!!!

Will return from Japan on 18th Apr, hope you can wait till then. N@Z ???

Disclaimer : New Disc Village is either on the 3rd or fourth floor. Sorry about mixup.

BTW, I must thank tanghy, who's in Perth right now, for offering help in getting the test discs.

For those looking for the Stereophile Test CDs and the Chesky Recordings and many others, I found the 2 CD shops at Adelphi to be pretty good. I browsed through both shops but eventually bought 3 discs from New Disc Village, Level 4. The owner is a very nice guy, not only letting you try out any discs, he even recommends which track to listen to. And he got a very good setup for you to test the discs. Eventually got myself a Chesky Demonstration Disc, a Denon Hi-Fi String (absolutely superb) and another Chinese disc by Chen Jieli (awesome vocals).

Not me, I have done modded-CMoy and getting parts for Gilmore

NAD goes for around S$500-520. Have to think hard due to the price difference. The model no is C6000/N1G

Just checked at SLS, confirm that they are selling at about S$480-470 so it's no surprise that KEC audio is selling at S$419. Wanna buy?

So that means the marantz cd6000ose should cost less than S$419?

That's a lil HOT ASS ...

I've only seen NAD at Alpha Audio but I guess there should be more. I am going out today to check them out.

Just enjoy and no rush. I must say that Kylie has a hot bod.

Just saw an old post at headwize, the Marantz 6000OSE Model no CD6000/N1B is "Made In Singapore" - works fine but Marantz 6000OSE Model no CD6000/N2B is "Made In China" - one user had a problem where the player had trouble reading some CDs in mint condition, all with CD Text.

jtfoo, Were you the one that mentioned building a Mini Morgan Jones tube amp? How's your progress? I'm interested as well but not experienced with high voltage operations.

the price of NAD C541i should be less than S$500 while the 6000 should be less than S$600.

perhaps ablaze may be good with it.

Yes, thought so as well and maybe we should rope in N2Z cos' he's pretty interested as well. One thing, I am not good at bargaining.

Got it typed out one by one. Now my fingers are aching

and another ...

N@Z, especially for you, Kylie on your fav eggos D66SL.
