just a question about the feed ? will it still use the current fibre optic connection to the houses? I understand that the connection normally goes to the DB of the house, through a booster, and distributed to the various points in the house. Will the normal cable used for the final distribution run be compatible? thanx!!

Recommendations for mini-hifi?
TheSting replied to Shadus's topic in General Hi-Fi & Beginners Discussion
was at sls day b4, at 2nd storey shop, think was audio world or something asked about the DM-31, as i saw it there a few months back outta stock, but guy offered to bring it in if I ordered, for $699.. I asked, and he said that they come with Mission speakers. Now, from what i understand from previous posts, the singapore models do NOT come with these speakers, and from what i remembered, the price was much cheaper. abt 400+ ? can anyone confirm on the speakers and price? thanx !!! -

Using Quad L Series to setup a home theater
TheSting replied to dream88sg's topic in General Hi-Fi & Beginners Discussion
I was at adelphi abt a week back, went to this shop, 4th or 5th floor, on the outer circle row of shops (Not on the inner circle, which faces the escalator). Can't remember the name. But they did have a sign saying they sell Quad spkers Having heard so much abt the 11L, i went inside to ask. But the owner said that they've just sold their last pair, and won't be bringing in anymore, cos the production have been moved to China, and doesn't sound as good. something to do with the crossover IF i remembered correctly. -
I'm thinking of running my speaker cable inside of the walls, with banana jacks (with the whitebox wall face plating) on both ends (one side connecting to amp, the other to speakers). 1) What are some reasonable speaker cables i should use (12 guage)? Prob around $10 per metre ? Me not sure abt the various brands on the market. 2) Any person/contractor who is able to terminate the wires On-Site for me? from the cables to the banana jack ? Thanx!!

abt 550 like that.

heh, pray tell us when u do get them!!

yeaps they've got the jazz and dance channels non-stop ;D Dun bother abt the showcased tuners.. seems like they're abt a year old can anyone please confirm on the fact that artists name and song title are displayed on most of the DAB tuners???
-
Just a quick question, From the Mediacorp SmartRadio (DAB) website, http://smartradio.mediacorpradio.com/whatcanisee.htm So any of the Tuners/Receivers on the market come with this function? This would be way useful, know the exact title and artist for the song being played ;D

eh, from what little i've read previously, the pods are designed by either a spin-off from b&w, or ex-b&w designers or something. so maybe?
-
hehe, yeah .. the LOOKS! that's why i'm kind so interested in them... was thinking of getting 4 of them, and attach them to the wall at ceiling height from each corner of my room. I think, since they released the basspod, kinda helped with that particular short coming. But not cheap hoh. hmm, I think they still have a showroom in HK right? hopefully, when i go end of the year, can grab the set. anyone got any idea how many i can bring in?.. without tax complications? i just love the new translucent ones
-
Hey.. reccaflame, how do u find the minipods? read a few reviews around, and the word was that they sound surprisingly look for their looks.. etc
-
Urm, there's a chance the price increase is mainly due to the Sing dollar going down against the sterling pound? I was at linn asking abt the price of the classik, and the guy had to refer to the exchange rate b4 giving me a quote...

hey.. thanx guys.. appreciate it was at adelphi earlier this week..... looked at a few speakers, but didn't get the chance for the b&w spks the mission 780 didn't do it for me.. really lack of the ooommpphh in the base.. the paradigm studio 20 was pretty gd though.. not exactly super fantastic in the vocals.. but pretty nice bass... man..what exactly am i suppose to look for in a speaker? i mean.. with my previous systems being... hmm.. those 200 bucks sonys, how do i even compare? Oh yeah.. spend most of my time in asia sound. Didn't get THAT bad service as reported previously.. tested out those 2, and the jbl (that correct brand?) actually.. the guy was pretty ok lah.. no attitude nothing.. hope to go down again next week to see other spks.. namely the dynaudio 42, quad 11L , and b&w 602 -

TheSting replied to TheSting's topic in General Hi-Fi & Beginners Discussion
heh.. thanx yeah.. i DID consider those and was really tempted by them Good looks, small and inconspicuous, cute, and no need to worry as much abt the placement .. but are they considered as those box speakers some of the forums have articles advising against? I'll prob go down adelphi this week. But abit hard to take off during weekday. -
better shave of your chest hairs etc then.. ;D
