EVO X



the all new evo X is already on sale in singapore..............good news for the 2.0 litre force-fed brigade



now with the introduction of the dual clutch SST, it is time to buy the evo X........i like the concept of a such a transmission, no clutch lever and yet no power loss......



instant upshifts from paddle lifters.....what else do u want....

the DSG in volkswagen cars are quite mature implementation, so it's good news that mituibishi is putting their version in the evo X....




blue colour is nice......as in other bright options for the evo IX, such as yellow and red....



interior design is quite standard for japanese cars but is still an upgrade on the current model.......u get pretty and comfortable recaro sport seats...

pick up one at your nearest dealer today!

coming up soon.....liverpool vs arsenal.....

what will happen? can liverpool turn the tide....or will it be another win for arsenal? well a draw will do no one any good......

sigh.......let's hope something good can come out of this weekend and may the reds prevail....:)

there was a BIG storm this sunday afternoon.....quite a shocker and it kept me waiting at the coffeeshop for quite awhile..........managed to run the rest of the way home when things turned a little better....

KPE....

the first section of KPE from ECP to PIE is operational..........

curious enough to try and found the entry from ECP (towards AYE) pretty fun.........constant radius and has a very smooth surface......

too bad there was a truck in front of me so LL have to slow down.........moreover speed limit is 40 km/h and i believe all sections are monitored by CCTV.....so better dun play hehe.....

if not, i think a quick entry will be very fun.....u shd try too....

good news for BD....and saturday jalan jalan

was at audio house this evening.......the samsung BD-P1000 is now selling at S$799....

also saw a sharp BD player......hope to see more choices soon and looking forward to the hifi show in mid nov....

at 799, the samsung player is quite close to the price of a sony ps3....

prior to that, visited the omega speedmaster 50th anniversary exhibition held at ngee ann city civic plaza...........shd be interesting for omega speedie fans but i found it ok only........there were many speedmaster watches displayed, from the 50s, 60s and so on......

heard the ym2 is in town so went over to paragon.... saw both the YG and WG yachtmaster 2 at dickson......did not manage to see the price tags though......they also have blue wave dial DD, which is nice....

the milgauss is already in HK........so it in SG yet...??.....so far no news le

for deep wallets only......



a picture is worth a thousand words.......

need a new CD transport soon...

and the most likely candidate to replace the long-serving California Audio Labs Delta is


back in those days, the delta was sold at about S$1500.......now in 2008, the CEC TL51X is also selling about the same price.........:)

isnt that good value.....???

i like the XLR digital output............always prefer it to the S/PDIF..........

have never used a belt-driven transport so i am not too sure how it sounds......hopefully it will be a good match with the MSB Link 3 full nelson.... ...i think the overall balance could be softer and also expect a mellower presentation......for someone getting older, that isnt a bad thing at all haha

other cool features:

a top loader, YES! and comes with a top stabiliser ....

pretty handsome piece of equipment.......

100,000 hours? for what?

the new range of panasonic viera plasma HDTV boasts a panel life of 100,000 hours.......enough for 34 years of 8 hours daily use....

what for? 1-2 years down the road, something better and cheaper will be available.........why does anyone wanna keep a obsolete equipment for 34 years.???? unless the person enjoys collecting antiques and dinosaurs...

current standard for most LCD and plasma TVs is 60,000 hours...............more than enough....right?

CSI Miami.....

caught CSI Miami on ch5 last night..............looked pretty good even though it was over a SD broadcast. i believe the HD feed must have been spectacular, cos the SD feed was of very high quality over my LG 47LB7......

must find a way to get HD5.......hehe

so get a HD set top box (one time purchase) or mio-tv (monthly subscription)...???
