A bit of money spent! Some trial and error! (With) A better pair of audiophile ears! And a better understanding and appreciation of higher audio fidelity… …the better tuned and treated …

I got these photos of a local audiophile’s latest acquisition. They are the Wilson Audio Alexandria Loudspeakers. They used to be the flagship model of Wilson Audio. After a few iterations / models of the same model, Wilson Audio launched their new flagship, The WAMM 2. However, to many audiophile, the Wilson Audio Alexandria is very much a flagship loudspeakers …
(Immedia RPM 2 Turntable) I was curious to know how an electronically learned person set up his audio system. (Clearaudio Insider MC Phono Cartridge) The owner of the above audio set up is Mr.Gan of Ipoh. (ARB Tonearm) He is well known in his local audiophile community as the Go-To Technician. (BMC CD Transport) His invitation to me and the …
I have taken the liberty to trouble my fellow audiophile. I got myself a couple of audio components racks. Those racks turned out to be a handful of work! I knew I could not assemble them all by myself. Instead of getting my lady to assist?! I got my fellow audiophile; Kent, Tee, Lai & Adrian to help out. Took …
That time around, I got myself and the usual audiophile gang on an audio road trip to Ipoh, Malaysia. That audio room and set up belong to Mr.Lam. Being quite new on the audiophile journey, he already owned a ‘Reference Grade’ Audio System from Audio Research, Marten Speakers, Kuzma Turntable, etc I believed that he went into the hobby in …

To me, it was a galore and a fanfare of tube audio components… …that made up a stupendous set up! In my many years of audio visitation, …
Mr.Yap has been and still very much my audiophile brother since my university days in London, England. How time flies…a friendship that spanned more than 2 decades! He has been an audiophile with an appetite of nostalgia. He told me once that he wished to collect every desirable piece of audio component from his days in England! Till today, that …
Our local hero, Eric invited me for another round of listening session at his place. This time around, I got to listen to his newly acquired McIntosh tube amplifier MC2000 of limited edition! I remembered listening to that McIntosh MC2000 amplifier in a ‘full McIntosh system’…it was musically enticing! You could imagine how excited I was when I got to …
An incredible system! All components signed by my dear friend, Gryphon Founder and Designer Mr. Flemming Erik Rasmussen. What’s not to like!!! Had the pleasure to meet the owner Mr. Koay and not at least getting to enjoy this unique Gryphon System on my last trip to Malaysia in company with Gryphon Distributor and Brand Ambassador Mr. TK Han. Followed …
Here, I got myself invited to a seasoned but private audiophile, Uncle Wah. It took some efforts to get into that audio room! The audio system consisted a one of the kind tube mono amplifier built by Mr.Wong. According to him, it was loosely based on the design of Audio Research. The tube preamplifier was the Audio Research LS-5. The …
