After my recent visit to Uncle Wah’s audio set up that comprised a pair of vintage JBL loudspeakers, he upgraded his power amplifier to a pair of PassLabs! He has even added a new digital source of the Eaoteric pedigree. The passion continues…
A RE-POST OF THE ARIES CERAT KASSANDRA 2 LIMITED EDITION DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER. It has been awhile since my last serious consideration of a digital component. It was the Vitus Masterpiece MP-D201 that my preference leaned toward at the last digital shoot out at my audio system. I thought it was an obvious choice due to its ‘character or …
A fine evening turned out to be when music was being played honestly. When I managed to get an invitation to listen to a local ‘BIG’ audio system, I found myself excited. It’s been sometime since I last visited this audio set up. To the extend, it felt like entering the audio room for the first time. The owner hoped …
As most Chinese know that we are celebrating Chinese New Year (2020). Thus, we are having a short holiday. What better to spend some time playing with one’s audio system, after some good fellowship with love ones. It’s been sometimes since I last played with the Linearizer feature of the FM 268C. Playing with the linearizer feature is like riding …
Here, is the home of one of our local reviewer. Mr. Foo has been an audiophile like ever since… (Magneplanar 3.6 speakers) …and of course, a music lover that frequent ‘LIVE’ performances at concert, philharmonic, etc… He admitted to me with a big smile that irrespective of how great an audio set up maybe, it would never come close …

They suggested (thin) carpeted wall and a thin rug on the floor. The importance was the size of the room/space. Personally, I preferred and encouraged a properly treated audio room/space.
Audiophile helps one another (if possible). Here, we have the gang helping a fellow vinyl-phile with his turntable set up. First off, they have to level the turntable. Then level every other components in the analogue source. Then bring out the alignment tools. After some hours (about 2 hours) of up and down…finally the turntable was about to spin some …
I remembered looking for the right speaker cables for my Wilson Audio Maxx 2. Long story short, I ended with the MIT Oracle MA speaker cables. I am glad to see this pair of Wilson Audio Alexandria in Malaysia paired with the MIT Oracle MA.
Our final destination landed at an experienced audiophile, Mr.Phan’s home. He is an audiophile with a number of audio years under his belt. However, he did not carry himself as such. Instead he asked for some guidance or a few pointers to improve his audio set up. He is indeed wiser than most?! As time was pushing, we got straight …
