Sorry for the delay guys. But I finished unpacking my stuff very late last night as I decided to rest after getting home. My Laggauge bag back on its location and my rig all in place. Unfortunately lost my 3M Cleaning cloth but it's something I can buy back later. :blush:

 

Lets start:

 

The Location: JBL Sound Gallery

SKM Building - 60 Marsiling Road,

Singapore 739107

 

-Going there takes around 20 min walk from the Woodland MRT and it takes a 5m Min Drive or Taxi ride from the same station.

-Upon Arriving, the place looked so small. If not mistaken it's only four stories. No one would have get the idea the AV Poisons inside.

 

IPB Image

Entering the Main door a poster greated me with some framed pics.

 

IPB Image

The walk up also greeted me. This made me more excited.

 

IPB Image

Even a view from the front makes you wonder of the silouhettes of the rigs inside.

 

IPB Image

 

What amazed me is they had several Listening rooms and displays. Inside each has a particular theme. I just wished I didn't pack my camera early as the Hall setup on the far end of the Gallery caught my attention being in from of a a Two Speaker Cabinet Setup with a pair of 20" speakers and a Horn Speaker at each cabinet. But hey this would be a very great place to audition you dream rig.

 

Some pics of the setups.

My personal Choice as the chair looks cozy. Just need to replace to a love chair. :whistle:

 

 

The JBL Galley carries a a lot of products from CDPs to IC and Power Chords.

 

The rigs used in the meet were supplied with very good cables Van den Huls which also added to the attendees listening experience as a whole. The Sound Gallery was kind enough to let us try their CDPs these are not your ordinary CDPs though. I believe I could buy 4 Yamamotos with some of the CDPs they loaned to us. Thanks JBL Gallery!

Thanks for everyone who came and made the meet a great success, I had a great time. It is funny how many came with a set of toys and walk home with different set of toys. LOL

 

Those who didn't managed to come, don't worry, there is always another one....
