My high end audio journey started with tube electronics from Audio Innovations (Audio Note UK) and Conrad Johnson. Progressively, I went into, and bought the Audio Research 610T amplifier, the Audio Note UK Ongaku, the Audio Note UK M6 line stage, the Hovland HP-100 line stage and etc. Most of those components of mine were sold to my friends. However, …
Genesis 1.1 (Modified), FM Acoustics, Transrotor Artus, Esoteric SACD, Vertere and more! I was treated to a pleasant hospitality and honour to listen to this compilation of one of the world finest audio gears to date. I was blown away by the experience. Nothing prepares me for a spectacularly huge and lifelike soundstage. Imaging was first class with palpability so …
My last visit to JoKi’s audio den was around 2019. Here, the report was written based upon my impression of his latest set up from my recent two (2) consecutive listening sessions. The audio system may looked and consisted with similar components as per my previous 2019 visit. However, with careful examinations at his audio system/ set up, I noticed …
(Mr.) Tan’s passion in the audio hobby has never wavered…and the same goes for his loyalty to the audio brand, TAD…hence the nick name TAD Tan. His recent upgrade to the latest flagship loudspeaker from TAD, the REFERENCE ONE TX has provened his dedication to the abovementioned. REFERENCE ONE – TAD-R1TX The TAD Reference One features the company’s new SILENT …
My take to that question is a firm ‘yes’…I cannot imagine a note without the element of bass to sustain it. Even higher notes have that mid high bass to sustain them. There are those whom argue that ‘clean bass to an audio set up produces better highs’…(that is something to ponder upon?). This ‘open door’ visit brings me to …
I was honoured with another audiophile gathering at (Mr.) Jei’s audio set up in his beautiful and neat home. The fellowship was a warm welcome for us all. Many audio philosophy and understanding were shared among us…,and through that we better understood each’s desires in each audio set up. My ‘Nasi Lemak’ is Not your ‘Wanton Mee’? Two different dishes …
I was very fortunate to be invited to this very passionate videophile/ audiophile’s home (no…he is not Boba Fett from Star Wars),…to experience two (2) very special systems, a Home Theater and Stereo,…each in its own dedicated room. The host, Encik Shamyl has been in our beloved hobby for decades,…and his experience in the appreciation of high end video/audio was …
I went over to Mr. Adrian’s audio set up for a listen,…and with a few local audiophiles from another state. They were interested to hear all the buzz;…the room treatment,…the loudspeaker placement,…the audio system fine tuning,…etc A number of musical tracks from a number of genre were played from both digital and analogue sources… They commented that the audio presentation …
Our Mr.Adrian just sent me the photos of his latest audio development. He just upgraded with the latest 18″ active subwoofers from ASCENDO (made in GERMANY), delivered by AV DESIGNS (MALAYSIA). I looked forward to listen to these subwoofer beast in action soon.
It was in 2019 that I last visited Mr. (TAD) Tan‘s audio set up. He got the nick name TAD because he was and still is a TAD afficionado…he just loved the way music flows through them, electronics and transducers. Now, fast forwarded to 2023, and after some serious monetary saving, he decided to plunge into the latest loudspeaker flagship …
