Well if you ask here, there are both users of the PX100 and PX200. Some prefer 100 and some prefer 200. av98m for instance, likes the PX100 for its more "open" sound. I on the other hand, prefer the PX200 because I don't like to be disturbed and it does produce good sound quality. It really depends on :

a) type of music you listen to

how much external noises there are

Having heard both units, I do feel that the PX200 has more bass, probably due to its isolation reinforcing the bass response.

BTW, you can listen/test both out at Hung Bros. They do allow trials. I'd advise you to bring your own source so that you can assess the cans better.

Dunno man, gotta sit down and try it out.

Bruch Violin Concerto #1

Scottish Fantasy

Vieuxtemps Concerto #5

Jascha Heifetz RCA

Ops

Jim Thomlinson - Brazilian Sketches

This contains a nice selection of Brazilian jazz music recorded in very high fidelity. There are a couple of vocal tracks featuring Stacy Kent with a voice "to-die-for"

Did you actually try both cans before buying? Or just based on reviews?

Can some kind soul bring a porta corda?  Pls....

Sure, I can bring the PCII.

Thanks Barradio.

Not all, there were a handful of manuals. Also the GTAs are manual.

Gear changes are smooth, not as smooth as VTI auto trans or Lexus, but smooth enough. The advantage is that it is a manual gearbox, ie you don't lose as much to the auto trans, and both your hands are on the wheel almost all the time. Over 5K rpm, the gear shifts are <0.7s, as fast as any manual.

Problem is that the selespeed function has its quirks, so there's some wear and tear after some trips to the track, so you have to get used to it. What I'm trying to say is that you have to give it TLC, and in return, you get a fun driving experience.

Of course your EVO is in a diff class altogether, and diff price range as well.

I too wasn't much of an Alfa fan, until I made the "mistake" of taking the 156 for a test drive and was bitten by the serpent. Hard to explain in words, it just gives you a bit of a rush.

Most welcome, just give me a couple of days notice.

N@Z - Yes. The cabinet houses a Stewart Studiotek 130 screen.

Tenson - Well, the "rugs" are there for a purpose, but I won't expect you to tell a Qum Silk from your Ikea buys.

Its the new 156 GT Coupe.

This should be coming to SG this year :

I could dribble all day on this :

I didn't realise you were not in the list yet. I took the liberty of adding your name to the current list

Hi NOZ

Er...my name's not on the list leh...

The iRiver PCDPs are great in terms of features and firmware upgradibility, but their sound quality is really mediocre IMHO. In fact, I found the IMP-550 harsh-sounding, esp. in comparison with my vintage sony D-5A and my friend's D-777. It's an excellent PCDP, but nowhere near great.

If you are going for the meet, think you could bring along the D777? I'd like to have a listen.

Ops sorry, typo, $90 for the PX200.

The IMP550 I think was about $300. av98m and I took at look at it and sure its smaller, but we prefer to toilet seat look.

iRiver IMP400 + Senn PX200 = very good portable music

No need for amplification IMO.
