Haha, after attending both Hi End and ISS this year, and listening to others' setups, I would say I am really happy with my current setup. Now just experimenting with small tweaks like nicer cables.

I googled the price. Holy shit.

Not say small, just that need more active marketing and better branding. Need to put demo sets in electronics retailers like Best Denki and Harvey Norman. In US, some of the Best Buys have Magnolia outlets that sell these hifi stuff. Don't know why SG can't do the same. Need to get young...

Haha, actually, before I did my recent upgrades, I really did enjoy my setup and would not mind if I had stopped upgrading back then.

Just a quick update of things I have upgraded since last time. Bought the following in this order: Lab12 Integre4 MKII->Cabasse Baltic Evolution->Supra Sword speaker cable->Supra Lorad MD06 The Lab12 was really as good as the reviews said. It made significant change to the tonality of my...

Think need more brands to participate, but understandably Sound and Sight will be on next month, so I guess some dealers have to choose either one, maybe next time can hold in early part of the year. Really need a separate ballroom for the performance. Actually I think most attendees won't...

I actually sang for Beethoven 9th before. Think Simon Rattle’s version is probably the most well-regarded out there. But I like Karajan as well.

I only use Tidal through Roon. The recent one by Dudamel on DG is really good.

The most epic classical choral piece that I can think of and is a really good test of how capable your setup is the Mahler's Symphony No 8. Organ+100 piece orchestra+soloists+double choir+children's choir If your setup can make this sound coherent, then it's a good setup.

I like to listen to this album before I go to sleep. Her voice and the sax so soothing.

Think I always listen to music everyday. Even last time I used Creative and Sonos stuff I still listened, but not as much as nowadays because they didn't sound as good proper hifi.

My setup works very hard leh. I think I listen to music every day for 4-5 hours. I didn't have a lot of CDs, the last time I bought a CD i think was in 2004 or 2005. I did climb some Russian mountains for hard to get classical CDs last time. But now Tidal/Roon so convenient that I just don't...

I started with a pair of Dali Oberon 3s. Enjoyed my time with them. I then replaced them with Triangle Comete 40th Anniversary. If your listening preference is mostly vocal, and you don't mind the slightly larger size, you can consider them as well. Very easy to drive and not rear ported, so...

Well, by right, anything you buy overseas more than $500 will have to declare and pay GST upon returning to Singapore. But usually for smaller items most people just won't bother declaring lar. But for BNIB speakers hard to avoid Customs so I guess you need to pay the GST upon returning...

Got at least 3 recent very good integrated SS Aavik I280, I580 Hifi Rose RA180 Perreaux 300ix That being said, I think pretty much my next amp purchase would be a tube integrated, lol.

I class B. But the best amplifiers recently are mostly integrated solid state leh.

So weird the guy never put the amplifier between the speakers.

Dali Menuet SE is very good for its size. It is quite a bit more cheaper to get it in Japan than locally though. Couple more options to consider at this price range. Eclipse TD508MK3. Can import direct from Japan or buy locally at Audio88. Elipson Planet L. Absolute has it.

Last time when I did my Multimedia diploma I actually connected the electric guitars directly to the mixing console using the headphones or XLR output.

Well, obviously in a mic-ed performance an engineer will not just put a mic and record the output sound from the amplified PA system. The console will record the sound direct from all the various mic inputs hence what we hear through our hifi setup could be vastly different from the actual...
