A local veteran audiophile, Mr.Robin Chung has just purchased and listened (and enjoyed) to Ms.Lyn Stanley‘s final album “Tribute to 1924” One-Step 45rpm 2 x 180g vinyl record, Personally Signed and limited to 395 prints. The following was his words; “Just played it -3sides with Koetsu BL MC & 1side with Hana Umami Red MC– & my first impressions:1) immediately… …
Just got myself some ol’ favorite Anime in 4K and Blu Ray discs from Amazon Japan. Can’t wait to watch ’em through the JVC NZ 9 Laser Projector,…while waiting for the official launch in MALAYSIA, the latest Flagship Laser Projector from JVC,… the NZ 900 at AV DESIGNS (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD at 30th MAY, 2025.
Thanks to Maurice Han of YY SOUND SYSTEMS (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD for the loan record vinyl of Gundam “The Witch from Mercury” Original Soundtrack by Takashi Ohmama, which I particularly liked the title track by the full orchestra,…and that was a challenging track even for a Huge System! Thanks Maurice for the chance to enjoy the track in analogue!
In addition to the transparency to the human voice, the Foxtrot loudspeakers were able to throw a huge soundstage and soundscape that encompassed not just the front wall (between and around the loudspeakers) but the entire audio den at 17.5′ [w] x 28′ [l] x 8′ [h]. With the track “Liberty“, the transparency to Ms.Anette Askvik‘s vocal was without question …
Similarly, at the track “Too Young“, the Foxtrot loudspeakers were so transparent to Ms.Ellen Andersson‘s sultry and sensual voice that cumulated to a level of intimacy that was almost surreal…therefore exemplified (B), (C), (D), (F) and (G). I believed that that surreality of her voice was also accredited to the Foxtrot loudspeaker’s transparency to the (jet black background) native recording, …
Here, through the vocal track of the AQUAMAN movie, “Everything I Need” (Deluxe Edition), I could hear Ms.Skylar Grey’s fluatuation in vocalisation and breathing, and that allowed me to follow the vocalist’s pace by pace of ‘emotional intensification‘ into the lyrics…or in other words, I being the listener, could easily sense her trying to put ‘emotional weight and presence’ into the words/ lyrics. Here, the …
This Commemorative CD of KLIAVS 2024 marked the first done/ produced by Todd Garfinkle of MA RECORDINGS. I was first exposed to his fine works through the previous KLIAVS Commemorative CD, I was impressed as an audiophile and that led me to purchase some of MA RECORDINGS in both CD and Vinyl formats. When JoKi told me that 2024 Commemorative …
Listening to the newly Remastered Supersonic Ultimate Sound One-Step Vinyl Disc of Lyn Stanley compilation of her previous releases (21 previous + 1 new tracks) gave me the meaning of a whole new level sound quality, vivid vocal intimacy…clearer minute detail in her expression, more weight and palpability (a surreal sensation of being next to the recording mike). To me, …
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 …
