Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 true.. actually I am kinda disconnected from the pc world now dunno until like 3 ghz liao or what.. the pc is moving so fast Eversince I got my lappy I stopped finding hardware reviews/benchmarks/technology liao... coz it's of no benefit to me anymore.. 2-3 years ago back, I could still remember how active I was in tweak3d.net (hardware forum) and spend hours just to look at the new graphic card and the review. .. in the end also never buy mauaahhahaha I want to go back someday to pc too.. coz it's cheaper and more powerful than lappy.. but right now I have no space in my room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sipher 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 haha i guess i will stop buying PC stuff now coz i'm into head fi!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 lol!! actually I find that there is not really a point to go siao like some people once in every few months change processor, mobo, gfx.. I find that even my friend's(last yr assembled) 1.7 ghz, gf 3 ti200, 512 ram is so good/fast already!! somemore he seldom defrags it uh.. but maybe it's because I've been living with my lappy which is a lil slow.. so everything around me seems to work faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 once you've saved your money from the pc upgradeitis, you can use it for the audio. The good news is that you do not have to keep upgrading in the audio world. I see that you're getting the cd63Ki soon.. it will last you for quite some time. Next you should look for an amp or something.. meta42 is great.. you can probably ask firefox to build 1 for u(if he's free). Then headphone is next, but it should be easy and there's plenty of choices All these will become a keeper, until you decide to go for a better sound. But don't be like me lol.. don't purposely go and listen to all the rs-1 and stuffs.. you would be spoilt and in no real time, you will find yourself at the music by design(grado dealer) and keying in your nets !!

Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 which guys do you refer to? pc guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sipher 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 (edited) Guy, i'm refering to PC guys! actually i'm very curious about how the high-end cans sound like!! Edited June 10, 2003 by Sipher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 lol.. actually it's ok lah if you want to listen I mean.. if say you fall in luve with rs-1.. you will work/save for it. Then it will be worthwhile. I am saving up now.. but I guess it will be years before I can finally get my hands on those hi-end cans don't forget to pay attention to other eqpmtns in the chain too.. say if u upgrade to hi end cans, you must upgrade ur source or amp to(to almost equivalent the price of the cans itself, this way it will be proportional and well balanced, copyrighted by rameish ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sipher 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 ok i guess i will need to complete my NS n find a perm job before i can go into high-end!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matbon0013 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 What I do is as much as I can, buy the stuff second hand! Haggle your friend to sell you one of his head amp and you got the ball rolling. Then comes the decision on which Headphone to get sigh! My Ety's are less than SGD 500 shipped from the states, now I call that a bargain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 correct if possibl,get 2nd hand .. especially headphone there is no point in really becoming the first owner(unless you are v rich). Also 2nd hand headphone also has much less failure rate compared to say cdp or even amp. It's safe to buy it even 2nd for cdp you have to try and get 1st.. much safer. For amp.. also better to be 1st. You can never know if the owner has swapped all the good components, leaving cheapo no named parts inside and you are paying premium!!
