What made Regent Motors offer a new Ford Focus with a puny 1.6l engine for review in the papers....????

Where is one with the force-fed Ecoboost engine..???

Don’t they realise it’s a cardinal sin to leave that out ....

Since there’s nothing we need to know about a 125 bhp 1.6 engine, tell us about the fireworks...!!

There are millions of Singaporeans but I can only speak for myself...

If a former Director of the CID cannot be trusted to behave himself, it must be a slap in the face for the men in blue....

Surely the morale within the force is affected and the senior management will be in a bind what to do ....

Of cos they can toe the official line and claim that all allegations will be investigated but that cannot assuage the sentiment that people at the top are no cleaner ...

For a start, there is a pair of clear spheres on the 2 side walls.....

And I'd also placed a bigger smoky quartz sphere between the power amplifiers ...

Last but not least 1 was placed inside the fridge to smooth the stray electromagnetic forces ....

Polk plugs

2012-01-17T14:36:00.001+08:00

One of the very first things I’d changed on my LSi15 loudspeakers were the binding posts.....

Probably made of el cheapo brass metal, they were an eyesore and didn’t give one any confidence in terms of reliability and connectivity....

Now for the new LSiM series loudspeakers, Polk Audio have given them new and upgraded connectors.... Nice..!

Just remember to ditch the jumper cables and get a 2^nd set of speaker cables for bi-wiring......

Not pretty

2012-01-17T10:04:00.001+08:00

Forgive me for saying this ...

I find this pair of loudspeakers butt ugly.....

Since the model 1 was launched many years ago, I find Totem loudspeakers to be always slim and handsome.....

Not these.... Not anymore....

Good or Bad

2012-01-17T01:48:00.000+08:00

Is this acceptable...???? For the moment, I think it's kinda weird...

Diamond vs Diamond

2012-01-16T17:14:00.001+08:00

Not all tweeters are made the same......

Throughout the years we have seen many new and interesting materials being utilised in the pursuit of audio bliss...

Fabric, aluminium, titanium, ceramic, diamond, Kevlar, ribbon, plastic, plasma, ...

You name it and we have almost seen them all...

For the laminated diamond diaphragm the Usher diamond tweeter is already very expensive...... Perhaps close to $500 a piece??

Which is why I wonder how much a B&W pure diamond tweeter costs.....

Too much of a good thing

A rational choice...

2012-01-15T19:29:00.000+08:00

Well I like the Vivid Audio Giya G2 loudspeakers.... But they cost at about $50,000!!

I also like the B&W 802D.... But they cost $25,000.....!!!

So I settled on the Usher Audio CP-8571 DMD......

Which is surprisingly good and the plus point is that the local pricing is very attractive...

Remember the 8571 retails for about US$10,500..!!

I’ve got a great bargain and they are wonderful loudspeakers......!

Change my mind

2012-01-15T17:50:00.001+08:00

When I first heard of the name DALI loudspeakers, it gave me a bad vibe and I had the impression it must be some cheapo products.....

As years go by, I began to read about them and over time, my opinions of them have changed... Even though I have never heard any DALI speakers physically....

Maybe it’s the power of advertisement.... Or positive feedback from customers ... Or the power of reviews and audio journalism.....

Well people change... And of cos their minds....

Whose offer

2012-01-04T11:24:00.000+08:00

I was being generous or so I thought....

Firstly I can just move the LSi15 to my home theater system as the main LR loudspeakers......

But I thought maybe I should leave my HT system alone and just sell the polks....

S$600 my price I consider as dirt cheap.....

And someone was kind enough to inform me that a pair of LSi9 bookshelf loudspeakers were sold for about S$1k.... Thank you kind soul...

Guess what? Someone offered me S$400...

Err no thanks....

Slow poke...

If you can't multi task then pls don't do it...

Failure to give way...

Super slow of out the slip road..

Super slow on the slip road....

End up?

Driver was using handphone........
