  1. Hi guys,

     

    Warehouse123.com is having a christmas sale. Of all the products they have on sale, this one caught my eye:

     

    iRiver U20 (CLIX 2) Multi Function PMP Player (8G)

    Price: US$209.99 excluding shipping

     

    What's even more interesting is that if 21 items of the Clix2 are bought in total, shipping to Singapore is FREE.

     

    Maybe one of the more experienced members around could organize a MO for this? Cos if we hit 21 orders for the CLix2, everyone will be paying just fractionally over SGD$300 for a 8GB Clix2... which btw, i think is quite fantastic.

     

    The caveat is that the sale is only for 3 days (according to the warehouse123.com website). So if we want to act, we better act fast!

  3. About 2 hours ago, i was contemplating between which interconnect/amplifier to get - based on the usual yardsticks such as sound quality and price.

     

    However, after reading some articles, i have radically altered my view. Is there a significantly audible difference in sound quality with equipment of vastly different prices? Or is it largely that we perceive what we want to perceive?

     

     

    These are the articles that gave me some serious food for thought:

  4. tops in DAP SQ... would that be the clix2 or the iaudio7? because personally i havent tried either of them, although i have heard alot about them!!!

     

    cowon also has the D2, does anybody know how it would compare to the iaudio7?

     

    i was thinking of getting a creative zen v plus - but nobody seems to think much of it SQ wise, sadly.


  5. hi guys,

     

    i'm new here... in fact i dont even have a pair of cans or a portable amp! Although this situation is going to change very soon - because all your personal reviews are too tempting!

     

    Trawling the various sites for a portable amp, i came across the Headroom Total Bithead. Now, according to the reviews at sites like Dansdata and Stereophile it seems like a quite decent amp. However, i dont seem to be able to find any local reviews on the Total Bithead. This, added to the possible biasness of the 2 previous sites mentioned (they're affiliated to Headroom) has made me wary about how good it actually is.

     

    Could you guys who have experience with it care to rate it relative to other comparative amps? (eg iBasso T1, Electric Avenues PA2V2, Practical Devices XM4 and the Go-vibe 6)

     

    PS: I'm not a basshead :-)
