hifiluv Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 today, to spend some time with my son, brought him down to Vivocity, saw tis groundfloor booth selling MIC cds for..........$5 :o pick up Great Basso Volume II, Moonlight Woods and Develop a Fever (one of series of 4 meant to test tube amps). dont know if cheong one or not. got home and tested them, sound ok on tube amp, ;D those in the vicinity can check it out.
Guest francis woo Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 We have a date this saturday around 2 pm yr place, right!! Looking forward to hearing yr analogue stuff... :)
DanDon Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 That's cheap :o. Must take a look. I own quite a few of these MIC CDs which cost ard $12-16. The sound never failed me especially the one recorded with tube (like it very much). I must really try these $5 CDs...:P
hifiluv Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 the tube tester CD is damn shiok man.... geen geen go n grab, ;D
DanDon Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 yup! had grabed 2 CDs (definitely fever) to try. one of them was same as yours as shown in your post. happened tat i hv one of the 1st album in the "definitely fever" series & a few albums from the same record company 'Wonderful Music'. i compared the $5 CDs with my original CDs & confirmed the $5 CDs are "cheong" ones. original CDs are engraved with the record company name and the title of the album, and oso the paper quality is better with clear & sharp wordings. i played the "cheong" ones & found the sound quality is almost as gd as the original ones. VFM :)

PHL1624705849 Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Just went to IMM today. The MIC cd/dvd/vcd sale on till this Sunday, according to the counter lady. The DSD cds (maybe around 10 titles, these are the hard cover paperback cases) are there on sale at $5, including the Greatest Basso vol 1. Did not see the vol 2. Also have a few classical CDs priced at $6.xx. The location is just across the McDonalds at the ground floor.
hifiluv Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Hi PHL Tks for ur feedback, when the booth was at Vivocity, there were many more DSD titles, eg the tube cds, all 4 volumes, got Great Basso Vol 2, Cherry Ma n Lily Chen, a lot of Chinese instrumental, etc. going by what u say, then not worth to cheong all the way already, :'(
PHL1624705849 Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Hi hifluv, Just a bit of clarification on my side...as I am not really into chinese singers and also my chinese getting very rusty, as such, my observation was limited to these DSD titles as discussed in the previous posts while those you are looking for such as Cherry Ma n Lily Chen could be there...just that I did not really took notice of those... Noticed the Chinese instrumental CDs as well now that you've mentioned it, (I guess most of them should be there, just happen that I did not see the Greatest Basso vol 2. Hopefully some other fellow forumers staying or working near IMM can be give better feedback.

Tks :)
maxngck Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 hi! just came back from IMM. hehee... bought the great basso vol 1 and 2 vol of Paula Tsui HDCD. now enjoying myself on the great basso ;D. think this great basso may not b the original 1. the built quality seem abit lousy. but sound wise seem to be ok. later will try out paula's album... heheee... good buy ;D
hifiluv Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 found booth (actually not related to Giant superstore) now at Tampines Bus Interchange, but music CDs selection is not what i m looking for, wanted to buy the other volumes of Tube fever series, the volume tat i bought is really addictive man, listen non stop one. but no more, so sad. only managed to find and buy tis one. those at Tampines can chk it out. according to sales person, will move back to Vivocity on 25 July with new stock, so can check it out. :)
hifiluv Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 yes, but i prefer the studio recording, tis one is HK live concert, so SQ suffer a little. she sang most of the songs as Great Basso.
menthol28 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 anyone knows where else is selling the tube test cd? tia
batdance Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 anyone knows where else is selling the tube test cd? tia Biggest collection I've seen is Bras Basah ground floor and one shop @ People Park. All MIC CDs found there. They have DSD, XRCD, DTS-CD and LPCD45.
