I just received the review sample from D&A ANALOGUE HIFI (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD, and was told that it has to be returned to them by next week. It turned out that the review sample was an actual loan from the manufacturer. They wanted us to have ‘a taste‘ of what was possible from their best effort and design…therefore the review …
Lately, almost every well known British Audio Brand embarked into reissuing vintage products. They started with Monitor Speakers then progressed to the bigger Loudspeakers. Now, it seemed to be the Integrated Amplifier’s turn. I did enjoy such resurgence of vintage audio products manufacture. However, I was disappointed with the pricing of such reissued audio products. To me, those vintage audio …
Another UHQLP 1 STEP vinyl album that I have in hand, HI FI FLAMENCO (1999 Victor Entertainment/ Modern Records UHQLP 3112 at www.modernaudio.com and www.funghang.com) that I played for the review. Literally, that was the least noise level presentation of the album irrespective of types of media, in my audio system (I do have multiple version of the CDs and vinyl record). I was …
I played the above UHQLP 1 STEP vinyl through my TECHDAS AIR FORCE ONE turntable, VERTERE REFERENCE tonearm, ORTOFON MC ANNA phono cartridge and FM ACOUSTICS 223 PHONO MASTER, with the turntable only connected to the TELOS ‘MONSTER’ GNR. The album, ‘SAINT MIC‘ (1999 TIS Records/ Fung Hang Record Limited UHQLP 6038, at www.modernaudio.com and www.funghang.com) was by the gifted …
D&A Analogue Hifi (M) Sdn Bhd have offered me their INAKUSTIK POWER CABLE for review. It was boxed and packed professionally…inside it came the heavy and well made power cable suitable for even the most demanding and sensitive audio component (?). Mr. Danny Eng of the D in D&A Analogue Hifi (M) Sdn Bhd did advise me to run in …
TELOS AUDIO DESIGNS (since 2006) from TAIWAN needs no introduction here. Suffice to say that they have been very busy with their Grounding Noise Reducer (GNR) technology and products for more than a decade. They pioneered the GNR, an ‘active grounding’ unit with build-in CPU that constantly calculate and maintain ‘true zero potential ground‘ to easily and effectively ground away …
Just came back from CREATIVE AV SDN BHD, the local distributor of MISSION (UK) audio products, with their MISSION 778X Integrated amplifier with built in phonostage (MM), DAC, Bluetooth Streaming, Headphone stage, and more. It is almost a ‘one stop center’ for a simple audio system,…and at a reasonable price too. My first impression of the MISSION 778X that drove …
I was so excited when my wife told me that the vinyl records have arrived. Then I paused and realised that I did not order any vinyl record recently. Who has sent me? They were from Andy Lam of MODERN RECORDS, and FUNG HANG RECORD LTD (HONG KONG) that specialised in 1 STEP UHQLP. If any audiophile /vinylphile whom has …
Those of you who have followed our audiophile (Mr.) Adrian from Seremban, MALAYSIA may be awared of his recent upgrade or additions. Every audiophile would seek higher fidelity or ‘better’ music reproduction…and that may cost some serious money (subjectively). He upgraded his Home Theater with the ARCAM AVR 10 Receiver from AV DESIGNS SDN BHD (MALAYSIA). The Receiver came installed …
I managed to get both my wife and daughter to help me to get that ‘Monster’ into my Audio Den. The photo may not do justice to the size, weight and build quality of the ‘Monster’, even when compared to the impressive GNR 5.1 Plus. There was no footer provided…later,I would try a few footers for that heavy ‘Monster’.
