  1. I hear someone called my name :-) Well I actually bought the D66SL from lucky plaza, and I think I was very lucky to get it at around $100 or so. Because its more expensive in Japan (like $30 more) and I don't think that shop is going to sell at $100 anymore. My advice is, if you really want it now, get it from bluetin. I think you can do better than spending $150 on the eggos though.
  2. I tried them all (my 570s, D66SL, CD3000, e2770) on various sources such as my PC, portable, Pioneer system as well as on AMPs such as creeks and AT. The 570s (as I treat them) is not punchy enough for the kind of music I listen to (mainly dance/techno/rock). Ok, so I'm a little sold on Japanese headphones, but I"m very impressed with some of them. I still want to get a 580 or even the new 595 (but doing so will mean having to build a system around it).
  3. Hi people, I'm getting a couple of guys that might be interested. if you need more information, just let me know. I will do a website to support this group buy in case you don't know much about the CD3000 or R10. Sam.
  4. I can't understand why you would still recommend the 570s. I have them, and although they were great when I first got them, they are so lacking for the price one pays. My Eggos sounded clearer, bass were more definite. The 570s are comfortable, I'd give it that. Go to head-fi.org and do a search on the 570s. I think you will get the general idea.
  5. Yes that is correct. Don't get it. They are great for the unexperienced, but you can do better.
  6. Since I'm based in Japan, I can help sell them. I can't : - check and make sure that the cans are working without opening them - offer a return policy - sell on a weekly basis I can however : - offer to check the cans and make sure that they are working and not damaged - get other parts as long as people know what they want As for pricing, it will be under $750 for the phones, I'm not sure yet as I need to work out delivery cost and cost to get someone to pick up the cans and handle them carefully (probably my dad). They won't be $750 I will assure you (bluetin is $742). I will also set a target on the number of orders, if its not enough to cover delivery cost then it may not happen. These cans may sound expensive, but they are new (of course), they will have warranties (I think 1 year?). Please note that only serious buyers should apply. I can also get the MD7506/DS66L, but lets see how this goes. I am doing this as a favour, not really as a business (though if you guys want other stuff like cables or japanese products then I can work out something, I can make it a part time job like every Sat). I have the capital to buy these cans (even the R10), so no I'm not borrowing money. If somebody trustworthy (like a regular member) would like to work with me on this, I'll appreciate it. The CD3000s are great cans, but they are becoming limited items. I'll probably buy another one just so that I can store it away somewhere when they are no longer for sale. PS. I've been scammed before when I bought a car, so I know the importance of all this and I want to make it work (like make everything transparent as possible). My other part time job will be distributing car stuff
  7. Hi NZ, Well I will probably only target certain cars like the RX8 or 350z. It really depends on Singapore as their road regulations seems to be pretty strict. I think thhere's no problem for Malaysia.
  8. Set a time frame, and go for the best bidder. That would hurry buyers I guess. Though, I'm not too fond of sellers either.
  9. [*]OS: XP Professional [*]Productivity: use mostly word, excel & powerpoint (require something powerful enough for on the spot presentations) & possibly MSProject as well. [*]Digital imaging: Still photo software, archiving & minor editing. Digital video editing is not a requirement but is a Bonus. [*]Connectivity: Built in modem & ethernet, WiFi & Bluetooth (Infrared not a requirement but is a bonus). [*]Screen: Min. 12" high resolution (min 1024x768) preferably 14" & higher resolution. [*]Battery life: Should be able to run off batteries for at least 4 hours continuously. [*]Other misc: Should be able to detect & operate with overhead projectors seamlessly. It need not be a desktop replacement but powerful enough to work flawlessly with the above mentioned intended use. Doesn't have to be rugged but be able to take the hustle & bustle of office->car->site & back on a regular basis. For obvious reasons, it does not need to excell at gaming & audio. However the latter would be good for me! Is weight a main concern? I'm carrying my notebook, external HD and bag to work almost everyday, total weight is about 5kg (bag and HD are heavy). I was looking at the Z1 before I got mine, it is a very nice looking thing, light too. I would do everything that I needed. I didn't get it because : - it wasn't widescreen (mine is 15.4 inch) - graphics card was an ATI 7500 (hopeless for games) - Sony support is terrible They are just my opinions only, I like watching movies and playing the occasional games. I also do a bit of 3D work so need the extra real estate. Mine is only a 1.4Ghz, but its already faster than the 1.7 AMD Duron desktop that I've been using for the past 2 years (Pentium M 1.4 is about the same as a Pentium 4 2.2Ghz because of their larger memory buffer). All Pentium M notebooks support wireless, 802.11b is the minimum. Mine is a little special, it has B and G wireless network configuration, though I have yet to use the G network because its not that common yet here. If you want a notebook that will last about 4 hours, get a smaller one (like 12 inch or so). Few notebooks really run 4 hours unless you tone down the brightness and CPU utilisation. I got mine to work for the entire 6 hour flight from Tokyo to Taiwan (and I got to watch better movies too). The longest running Pentium M notebook I know is an IBM (8 hours). IBM is one of the best, especially for business. You can't go wrong with them, they were made for business and support is great in Singapore (I used to work with IBM). Sony is more of a leisure brand, I think you will get more multimedia features. They have their own software which makes life a little easier for people who are not good with computers. All notebooks these days will run your average XP, Office and the odd games. As for multimedia, they would be speed demons but they will do the job (I've ripped DVDs on mine no problem). All should have video out (composite, some may have S video). Sim Lim square has a lot of new notebooks, I know there are many. I would go with a company with good after service, that is pretty important in case something happens to the notebook (like bad pixels, accident). My Epson/Asus comes with a 2-3 year international warranty on parts only, not for accidents. If you have more than 7 dead pixels, then I think you can change it for free. P.S.Notebooks are very cheap here in Japan, I saw that Z1 for about 160,000 yen, which is about $2,424 SGD.
  10. I have this : http://usa.asus.com/products/notebook/m6se...0n_overview.htm Except mine is an Epson NT7000PRO : http://www.epsondirect.co.jp/nt7000pro/images/displayw.jpg Mine is a 1.4 Ghz 40gb DVD/CDRW with 256mb RAM. Yes I went for the cheapest because its easy to upgrade the parts later when they become cheaper. Oh, I also have the 9600 ATI video card with 64mb RAM.
  11. Wow, thanks. I was wondering when is anybody going to reply to this thread, I thought nobody likes cars! I was asking because I want to sell car stuff in Singapore and Malaysia. But only once I get my s#$t together.
  12. Do not get the 570 symphony. I got it for about $200 and at first I thought it was great (was my first real headphones), it is overpriced compared to other phones like Sony, AT etc. Best to avoid unless you usually listen to music on low volume. Bass is not very good, sounds muffled and trebles are thrashy. Best to get the 580 or 590.
  13. Also, they may well be on this forum too! Good for them, at least they'll know what people think of them and their businesses. I don't have a problem with them, but thank god for forums.
  14. To be fair, the whole SIM LIM place is like that. SIM LIM is great if you know what you are looking for, not so good if you are comparing products and not prices. Well, I guess you people can guess where I got my underachieving Senn. 570s from
  15. Can anyone provide links to Singapore and Malaysian car forums please. I would like to know what people are driving there these days, thanks.
