ablaze 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 just an interest check. managed to get my friend in Japan. so if some of you are seriously interested in the R10s (namely tee ), I could try and get him to ship one over. estimated ~300,000 yen shipping probably around 3000yen. + maybe a lil kopi-lui (coffee-money) for my friend? you all serious or not about $2.5kUSD or about $4k+ sin$ edit: I guess still considerably cheaper than the US$4k list price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Look if anyone is going for this I guess I willing to choot S$50 to listen to it for 1 hr. Hmm a thought get flashed across ablaze. What if the buyer who bought gets paid S$50 to let other listen to in for an hour. Then if there are 50 such people S$2,500 would be paid to the purchaser as rental LOL. An idea for you not me LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 lol. thats a thought to ponder! I think the only one here who'll seriously consider this buy, other than you, will be tee. lets wait for him to see this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ablaze 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 stop winking tee! I can't tell if you're serious! lol seriously, are you interested? if you REALLY are, probably have to work out the details with you. you probably have to transfer a huge amount of money to me, so I can transfer to my friend to help you order etc etc if you're serious, i'll get him to start emailing the stores to check for stock.

Blues 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 lol... seriously, the r10 is too expensive!! I mean... sure they are great.. but I doubt if they are worth that much.. prob this is what we say, as u go up the ladder the improvement is not much but you pay more and more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 looking at the wealth of audio equipments tee has at hand, I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered the Sony R10. Tee, don't mind if we can have a listen as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 it will be really nice if tee can bring along his equipments for the next SG head-fi meet lol.. I missed the first one.. huhuh..(weeping..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tee 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Hi Oak, Guy and ablaze, well, i was quite attracted to Rameish's idea of $50 an hr concept. But i m not sure how that could be implemented in another way, ie. pooling fund from our members to have a R10 secured for this club. Each time a member uses it, the amount is then deducted from the credit that he puts in. Any revenues from users who didn't chip into the trust fund will be distributed back to all the contributors proportionately. Would this idea work ? And specially for ablaze, i have emailed you my account details... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 count me out lol.. I don't care whether it's the God.. but 50 per hr is just a daylight robbery( for me!) lol.. maybe someday.. when I have the money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
