Kallang/ Geylang has some of the best food for the money..Do note that Geylang is the red-light district area, so it does get a bit seedy after dark...

For those thinking about food options in Singapore here are some recommendations...essentially the locals like myself will go to these places, and you can't go too wrong! Mind you, food in Singapore is not that cheap compared to Malaysia or Indonesia, and alcohol is quite expensive as well...

Hey guys! If you guys are looking for food around Pan Pacific hotel area (where Canjam is going to be held), my recommendation is to head towards Marina Square shopping centre or Suntec City mall.  Avoid Glutton by the Bay because it's an overpriced place with bad representation of what good...

Hi folks,   Like to hear some feedback with people who are using Lisa III XP amp, which are the headphones that synergises well with it?   Is it possible for this amp to drive headphones like HD-800 or LCD-2?   Cheers!

I'll probably have to send it back to Japan.  Anyone else tried sending back directly to Stax Japan?  

Guys, I just got a quote from the local authorised dealer about fixing the channel imbalance for the Omega II mark 2... USD$1500 man....what the....   I don't think they even bother to examine the problem, just said "oh, drivers need to be replaced in cases like this, ordering parts from...

Shot this when I wasn't photographing a wedding in Marrakech, Morocco :)  

Hey guys, what's the average wait time for the BHSE?  Justin said over the email it's between 4-6 months upon ordering (but I heard he has a reputation of not being that punctual)

Guys, need some advice here. 2 years after using the Omega II mk 2, the headphone has a prob with channel imbalance - right side is significantly softer than the left.  I have a SR-404 LE which doesn't have the problem when plugged into the same amp, so that rules out any possible problem with...

Anyone knows the rating of the slow blow fuse for the stax 717? It's the one located near the transformer. Brought the fuse out to bring it to the hardware store, but looks like I've dropped it in my friend's office... Duh there are also 2 more fuses near the capacitors, F1 and F2, would...

Hey guys, anyone knows if the Stax 717 can be set to run at 240v instead of 220v (currently on jumper 3 & 5). My country's AC is 230v, is it true that by setting it at 240v on the 717, it'll run cooler than setting it at 220v? The 717 recently begin to start shutting down after 1-2 hours due...

Woo Audio has just announced the prototype of it's latest balanced stat amp WES Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier Any chance of this driving the beastly Omegas?

Sorry, decided to pull out from the pre-order due to other financial committment.

Ray Samuels just launched his new stat amp, the A-10 Thunderbolt. Based on its specs, would it be able to make the O2 sing?

Happened to hear over the radio the theme from Fellini's masterpiece film La Strada (1954). Kindda got me on this quest to search for recordings of it, I remembered the first time I watched the film on VHS tape, that recurring theme just haunts me (apart from Anthony Quinn's superb acting as...
