NAGRA PLP LINE STAGE and the Proceed CDP are on active duty in this audio system, belonging to one, Mr.Lee. Mr.Lee is one of the local well known collector of the famed British Mini Monitor, The LS3/5a. Readers may have remembered that I have visited his audio set up that centered on his LS3/5a. This time around, the visit is not by me …
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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
Here, I got myself invited to a seasoned but private audiophile, Uncle Wah. It took some efforts to get into that audio room!

The tube preamplifier was the Audio Research LS-5. The …
