The asking price of the FM ACOUSTICS 268C line stage and the FM ACOUSTICS 223 PHONO MASTER (phono amplifier) may be high to most audiophile (including myself) but I cannot deny their sound quality.

Usually, I just use a lightly damped (with water) cloth to wipe them…that’s it to it. Few years ago, I was presented with CHISTO products/solutions which I found to be useful and effective.

Knowing the fact, Bobby Ng of AUDIO LINE, SINGAPORE has sent me some photos of his and his team’s recent interesting audio set up there. Very kind of him to update me…more reasons to visit SINGAPORE…thanks.
James Tan of AV DESIGNS explained to me the importance of a better or more serious 4K player. Then, I was using the humble SONY UBP-X700 4K player. In my defence, I did invite comparisons…my fellow audiophile brought over the OPPO UDP-203 4K player…at that session, all present did agree that the picture quality was nominally better with the OPPO. …
James Tan and his team at AV DESIGNS decided to pay me another visit with the intention of proving to me the importance of additional gain needed at the screen for High Dynamic Range (HDR) projection. Yes,…it is needed to get the fuller advantage of HDR over Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) of High Definition (1080p Blu Ray). They brought over …
