That's interesting. There is a huge market for vintage gear for their great sound quality but I think today's gears are so much better or par to those legacy units at fraction of its price.

The future sound designers are today's MP3 listeners and I dread to think how their products going to sound like.

Yes i got that fact from from Martin Colloms the worlds reknown technical hi fi critic.The problem with today`s gears are they  lost a the factor of " musicality".Todays gear have hard ,clean ,dynamic sound but has totaly loss its "musicality"
I have done extensive sound comparisons on amps and still find tube amp gears with hard to find New Old Stock (NOS) Valve Tubes sounding magical compared with what we have now.The problem is ,these tubes are almost gone or extremely rare.Take for instance the British made Mullard Blackburns or the German made Telefunkens Tubes (currently atsronomical in prices) , they simply sound musical when replaced into any tube based gear and thats something you really enjoy for hours listening from track to track.

Shbehmal,

Hi Fizi,

are you using an Akai RTR player now? may I ask how does it sound compare to vinyl?

Thanks in advance.

Another Penang Hifi kaki reporting in.

Currently looking for Rega Fono Mini A2D phono amp for my Rega Planar 3. Where can I get it here in Penang? Any shops here selling?

Hi guys,

I'm from Penang... guilty as charged, busy with new born and work, hardly time for HIFI... even my audio cum guest room also is half done with dust collecting...
