Hifi...

Hmmm... all outta of a sudden... i am in love with hifi stuffs... If you ever step into this hobby, u will understand, the hi end stuffs produced by the manufacturers are so well done and their quality of the finish are really good... Hmm... the sad thing about this is that when u sell second hand you can't really fetch a good price for certain items... Anyway why would u wanna sell away something good...
Anyway about 3 weeks ago, my colleague Francis (yeah the guy who poisoned me ) invited me to his place for a listening session... Woke up early that morning and took a train to Seng Kang! Friends who knew me will be wondering, why the usually "nuah" Gene sekali become so "Ku Lat"??
Anyway reached his place, well his set up is basically the same as mine, we used the same amplifier, Lavardin IT. He had got something different, a turntable something which plays music so much better than a cd player... Finally, i got the chance to listen to music played by turntables!!~~~ He then play some guitar vinyl records, the first was title: Friday night at San Francisco, forgotten whats the track but it sounded so nice, so real and so much better than CD... Followed by L.A Four guitar tracks, rock music from Queen and the list goes on...
Whao i was impressed with what Vinyl Records or Turntable could do and of course i am poisoned again... Erm meaning i will get a turntable in the new future... If you are really into listening music it will be a waste if you dun go into Vinyl...
My dream setup will be a DPS TT, Nobile tonearm and may be an audiotechnica cartridge... ok.. dream onz...

休龍軒 Part 3 of ???

Okie! This shud be "almost" the end to my room's renovation... Finally i can "nuah" in it at night when i reached home after a hard day work...
A new look under lighting during day time, with my new toys and new painting which i did it during labour day's holiday from 1pm till almost 10pm!!!...
Another look.... Another view taken from the toilet...~ The new clock i bought from Molecule on Mama's day with my cousin, amazing clock, the more i looked at it the more i love it keke.
Below is an introduction to my hifi setup which i had waited for 2 months for it to arrive...
Firstly, Lavardin IT, integrated amp which plays really lively and dynamic music...
Secondly, Vimark, the cd player, which plays the cd haha simple...
Thirdly, Living Voice, my speakers in Walnut colours, luckily it blends well with the purple wall colour... Oh btw this is the left hand side speaker.... Ok, right hand side speaker...
My old PS2, still functioning i think, will get a PS3 in the future for blue ray movies...

My HTPC! Processor: C2D 8400, Matx Mobo: Asus P5E-V G35 HDMI, Rams: 2GB of Crucial DDR2 PC6400/800, Silverstone Casing, Logitech Keyboard and mouse... using some laoya Creative speakers for this HTPC setup (shown in the first pic)...

Okie, entertainment wise is enuff i guess haha... So whats next??

Hopefully, i can get a carpet (currently fighting with mama, haha), new curtains , a painting for acoustic treatment purposes, a table lamp (lighted with LEDs) and maybe new lighting... hehe~~
