This was directed at "blondie", not you la. For you I would have posted lots of sexy TTs for the hell of it but that would have taken lots of time and a couple of pages in this thread.....

 

Erm. Thanks for not trying to poison me?

Buy their album lor, only GBP30. Otherwise if you die die want the EP, try this more "reasonably" priced one :

I already have the album, but I don't play vinyl like you guys.

arr....we need guinea pig thank you thank you

 

ok, althought i do like the new single by Massive Attack which was limited to 1000 copies worldwide. this price i really have no idea who going to pay?

 

Massive Attack - Splitting the Atom 12" Vinyl

 

It's a really great album. But the price is...

Heard that MFSL is legendary for sound quality. Prices go through the roof on eBay. Went up to 70USD for one Pink Floyd CD.

use customs for jogging?!

 

He's doing just that.

VERY nice Pink Floyd collection there! Maybe a home visit soon?

i cried everytime i bought a new stuff... but very happy after hearing the result...

 

Love-hate relationship.

Nope. I have the Eagles Hell Freezes Over CD and it's nicely ripped into my computer.

I like the HD595. But I just could not bring myself to buy it when the HD600 was priced so closely and scales far better.

haha...how you like The XX??

 

 

Spent some of my angbao money on...

 

 

 

No hurry.

shoot

Hi!

 

I'm currently saving up for my desktop rig.

 

1) Is it advisable to build my rig in stages i.e. CDP 1st, amp 2nd? Headphones wise, i'm sticking to my ESW10 at the moment

 

2) Is there such thing as an amp built specifically to suit a certain player, such that certain amps works better with certain players?

 

3) I'm looking at the Marantz CD6003 once i get my paycheck, any comments on this player and any suggested retailers with good service?

 

Thanks a lot!!

 

Happy Lunar New Year!!

 

I'll just give my two cents. Before I started on my home rig journey, I bought the ESW10 on impulse (good deal). I was then thinking of building a home rig around it because of all the comparisons with full sized cans. However, after trying it with everything from an iPod to a Yamamoto, I realised that the ESW10 does not scale as well as full sized cans. For me this wasn't really a bad thing, because I could still use it with my iPod and even my laptop's headphone out and have it sound way above acceptable. I then built my home rig after a full-sized can (Grado RS-1) and no regrets whatsoever. Different purposes, I guess.

 

1) Normally it's quite tricky to audition different sources because the rest of the components in the chain differ depending on the shop you go to. What I did was start with the amp that paired the best with the headphone you like then work on the source. If your amp+headphone is a warm smooth combination you might want to pair it with a clean, detailed source etc.

 

2) Yes, the Stello stack is one such example. (Correct me if I'm wrong) but I believe this happens more often with Hi-Fi equipment than headphone rigs. Like I mentioned above, I would go about matching an amp first before going with the source. If they sound good together, no one is stopping you from making the pairing.

 

3) No comments on this player, haven't heard it before. But you can get it from Alpha Audio or KEC at Adelphi, pay in cash and bargain hard (heard this from a fellow forumer kchew).

 

Hope this helped. Best of luck. YMMV as usual.

 

 

I was just going to get into Florence+The Machines. Is the album by the XX available locally?

 

Usually have to work till after 7 pm...will be a bit of a rush to make it for an 8 pm show...

 

I know... Just lamenting.

You have all their albums by now?

 

Yup. All 4. Why can't you go for their concert...
