Short Audiophile Experience (Just 2 months!) and my rack arrived (finally!)...

Wooo... after months of listening... I finally can tell whats good and whats bad within a system...
Well was kinda suan by my mentor, telling me that the MD staff was hinting me that i shud in fact just get the 1k amplifier (in short amp) rather than my current amp because someone traded in my current amp for this 1k amp... I was kinda affected did i really overspend on something that is totally not worth it!?
Hmmm... todae i finally had the chance to listen to the 1k amplifier which MD was selling (well no offense..) while i was there to check out my rack (yesh! finally it had arrived, but lets get back to the amp topic first...) and finally i could tell that well my system was a whole lot better confidently hahaha... Well it was worth it, i told myself (phew... )
Sitting down, initial thoughts the music sounded pleasing... but after listening for a while i could tell that the resolution coming from that amplifier was kinda blur, i could roughly hear where the intruments were coming from but the sound was smudge (yeah like ink...) Oh Yeah! My listening had improved and i am really happy with it hehe...
Yah one thing was that the guy traded in the current amp i was having was that the 1k amp was a better match for that that pair of speakers he bought which was on display but still the resolution for tat 1k amp was not that good (ya sad to say)...
Anyway... took half a day off to check out my rack at MD, CF was so stressful haha, too much things to clear after a rather "long vacation", well he was off to KL for a seminar and some training sessions for a week. My rack had finally arrived! The one and a half month wait was worth it... So nicely stained, which blends kinda well with my speakers...
As CF opened up the box... whoa could smell the stain haha... he was kinda stressed up because the owner (which is me) was standing beside him setting up the rack, the assembly was a bit tough, as a mistake would have the chrome metal bar at the side scratched! Asked me to take a walk outside which i didn't haha... Anyway everything was fitted nicely... :)
Besides the rack, i had also went down to secure a deal on the TT and lots of LPs... YEAH! I HAD FINALLY JOINED THE DARK SIDE!!! haha... Shessshhh... he wanted me to bring back the LPs but the player would come only next tues! What a torture!... Can see but cannot play... Took a free ride home with the delivery man, was kinda worried the vehicle bumping would spoil my rack... but it reached my place safely and i helped the delivery man carry my rack up to my place...
Straight away i was into action, took out all the cables from the amp and speakers and try to shift the current console outta my room... Within 1 hour i managed to move the console out and fix up the echo busters absorbers behind the speakers (acoustic products... ) Had dinner at aunt's place and came back to shift my amp and cd player to their new "house"...
Sheesshhh getting abit lorso... anyway everything is in place liao will take a photo soon hehe... Happiness was shortlived as i found out my computer's mobo is dead... grr... gotta spend some moni to get it replaced... grr...
