HPcrazy, how does it sound to U? I know it's early days yet but does it sound potentially good?

Partnered and tested it with the Musical Fidelity A3.2 + Van Den Hul ic + AT L3000, for a just out-of-the-box unit I must say that it kick some ass. Tonally if compared with the XP-7 it lacks a little "whack" on the low bass region but than again my XP-7 is also well burn-in. For less than S$200, I guess the "Original" master is a bargain, with external power supply n opamp "rollable".

 

Burnin-in for the next five days, will post some impressions later.

hehehe,

 

trust hc to come back with new toys. As always he's on the cutting edge of new toys for boys. Please do a review/preview or your opinion after 150 hours or so of burn-in.

Oh my!!.... Less than 200?? This could be a real bargain for those with less spending power. Op-amp "rollable" summore!

 

Might need to do some reading up on the xp-7 since u use that as the comparison.... i cant wait!

 

Its nice to know that there are alternatives for the budget hunters!

Less than $200? Sounds like a good budget amp! Powerbuy coming up?

Any pics of the inside hc?

Lengcm, it was very brief and i have already forgotten since the meet was quite some time ago. I wonder how it compares to say, a ppa?

looks like a distant cousin to a Sugden. What other toys did you get?

Finally, something I can afford....

guess my conversion to the headside is inevitable.

Is there a webby for this brand that I can order from?

Is there gonna be a powerbuy?

I wonder if that shop in Bukit Timah will bring it in, should give them a ring.

I think they bring in the CD player for this "Original" brand too.

Bought a Xindak SCD-2 SACD player too for a bargain, half the price of the same model offered by the local agent but one hack of a heavy 12kg player to hand carry back

 

Wanted to buy the Xindak Power Conditioners for Mackie and Fuwen but they were unfortunately out of stock + there will be a one month waiting period.
