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 …
It took some persuading to enter that audio room… …but, it was worth it! It was not your average audiophile set up! It was not even a generally expected top audiophile’s set up! 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!

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 …
THE GRYPHON KODO LOUDSPEAKERS! When one of the very Top Audiophile in the country allowed you to listen to his audio system…you jumped at the chance!

My third visit here proved somewhat different. The audiophile Mr.Tee has progressed in his audio journey. Now, he has the confidence, and know how to set up and tweak his Analogue set up that comprised of the Clearaudio Master Reference Turntable and Linear Tonearm. After some set up efforts and tweaks by Tee, I was delighted with the result and …
