I guess that the Sonic Adventure Reality that Katsudon1 makes will be here too?
And maybe a Sugden Headmaster

This list is assuming that certain people show up at the meet, so if you see your equipment on the list, you know you're invited

If you don't see your equipment on the list, tell us about it and let's arrange to have your stuff at the meet too!

And if you don't have equipment, come and listen!

Wish I could be there & try out the R10 & ASL MG HEAD OTL32 & Twinhead! As usual, take lots of pics of the meet & post them here!

 

[evilcthul]

Could you elaborate on the 32? It sounds like a computer suffix, an MG Head with 32mb or RAM or 32 bit sound...

Only joking, in all seriousness though what has changed?

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Ask Joe Lau

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Guys, we need someone to come up with a good source here

Also, remember to bring your favourite discs for audition

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Hey Anthony, what's the model of that Stax you're bringing to the meet?

 

[N@Z]

Joe,

A friend of mine is going to Shanghai via Hong Kong. He will be in Hong Kong but won't be around during your head-fi meet. Anyway, have you got any good recommendations for Hi-fi shops where he could go to. If you have their addresses that would be helpful too.

As for the shops in Shamshuipo, all I can say about them is... that they are in Shamshuipo

Seriously, look for a shop on the junction of 'Women's street' and...

Sorry I must have missed that one. Thanks.

Less than a week till the meet. Got a few more headphones and another amp that will be showing up:

Sony MDR-F1 (just came in the mail today!)
Sennheiser HD600 with Cardas cable
Sugden Headmaster
We will also have a custom Twinhead/R10 combo (http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=19767).

We will also have a local headphone manufacturer coming (trying to get them to bring some of their products as well http://www.fujikon.com).

For those of you coming, please bring CDs. If you have good cables, bring them too (otherwise, we will have a bunch of generic cables)! We will have a several sources (generic). If enough people encourage me, I will also buy a Philips 963SA for the meet as well (don't tell my wife...).

It Mean that - It can drive Cans down to 32 Ohm.

What its difference from MG-Head OTL ?

It use 6BQ5 x 2/Channel and connect in Triode SRPP. It use higher Plate Voltage , Higher Plate current. It result in Higher driving current , Lower output impedance. It is a Real OTL Headphone. No Output transformers anymore. It have a Impedance switch but it is only Change Resistor value when work in High/Low impedance Cans. It can improve damping Factor when connect a low resistor at output but it also Lower the Output Voltage and it will difficult to drive high impedance Cans. So a switch may be helpful ! It just a New idea. I hope it may be workable.
Oh ! Forget to tell you. It also a full function Pre-amps with 4 Inputs and Line Output.

I also start to build a Hybird Headphone amp for Low impedance cans in Low cost. It may be will show in CES2003.

Joe,

Do you know if ASL products are available in Singapore? If so do you know the dealer.

 

[Joe Lau]

No ! It is not available in Singapore but Available in Malaysia or you can purchase from us Directly. Price is same as N.A but it will include freight Charge from Hong Kong to Singapore.

 

[N@Z]

Who is the dealer in Malaysia?

How do we go about it if we order it directly from you?
