red_ryder 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2004 Quite intimidated by the shops in Adelphi and Sim Lim, especially when one's budget isn't high ($400 or less). Any friendly shops to recommend if I wanted to buy a cd player? Can allow auditions with my cans and personal CDs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2004 Drop by on weekdays if U wish to carry out auditions in the various shops at Adelphi. The retailers are far more tolerant than on weekends. In any case, there aren't many shops there that sell cdps at your budget. Perhaps U may wanna start with KEC on the ground floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmk 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2004 As someone who goes to Adelphi pretty often, I'm puzzled by the comments about being intimidated by Adelphi. Why do you feel intimidated? Is the shopowner unfriendly? Do they refuse auditions? The shop is dark? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 In your price range try Klass (speak to Nancy - she's okay but has a longer fuse then Fabian). Or try KEC (Clarence - i think his name is) - he's okay as well. But since these 2 shops are the "price busters" in adelphi you'll have to manage your expectations of service level. The trick is to tell them your budget and don't go there during lunch hour (alot of people killing time so the dealers are less then enthuistic - excep for a few like MBD who are really professional).
