It was in 2019 that I last visited Mr. (TAD) Tan‘s audio set up. He got the nick name TAD because he was and still is a TAD afficionado…he just loved the way music flows through them, electronics and transducers. Now, fast forwarded to 2023, and after some serious monetary saving, he decided to plunge into the latest loudspeaker flagship …

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 …

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 …
