Cambridge audio new setup

I'm very pleased with the sound upgrade. Still keeping the B&W 602 s3 as I can't find better speaker under 1k.

Sony Playstation 4

After a long period of thinking and deciding if I should buy a gaming desktop PC or playstation4 decision has been made. Well experienced staff in shop explained to me that I's better to buy bundle including the game because I will get additional one year free membership and extra warranty.
Graphics look really amazing on playstation 4, especially when I hook it up to big HD TV. Controller is wi-fi and it has many functions. Really impressive device.Now enjoying the GTA 5.:)


ASUS Fonepad 7

I bought ASUS Fonepad 7 tablet maybe half year ago. It serves it's purpose mostly for streaming music via soundcloud and for surfing & playing games. Performance wise it can't compare to Samsung S4, but it's still a useful device with it's 3G feature and it's dual SIM card support is very useful when traveling overseas.

Upgrades to my AV - 50' Sharp TV LC-50LE460X , Teac CD-P1260, Rotel RA-1060


It's been a while since my last update. I have many new gadgets, and I've just sold my previous Rotel amp and tuner.
This post is dedicated to my upgraded living room system , as follows;
  • 50' Sharp Aquos TV LC-50LE460X - digital ready - it's not a smart TV because I still use my WDTV for watching movies and streaming music/ internet radio.
  • Integrated amplifier Rotel RA-1060 - comes with remote control. Unit is using large toroidal transformer. Power is more than suffitient for my living room 60watts rms per channel (8ohms).
  • Interconnects are QED Performance Graphite Stereo Interconnect and QED Qunex (that I use for CD as sounds much better). I've just ordered same brand speaker wire with Nakamitchi plugs thus I'll review it later.
  • CD player Teac CD-P1260 I've ordered it online from USA since I couldn't find it in Singapore. Amazing sound for it's budget price. It plays mp3s as well.
  • My cable TV /Samsung HD receiver is also connected to amplifier seperatly via it's analog outputs.

Toshiba TV , B&W 602 s3 speakers

New setup; 42" Toshiba TV, Bowers & Wilkins 602 s3 speakers.
  
I heard this speakers many years ago at my friend's house and that made it easier for me to decide - buy them or not. How do they sound? Powerful, yet very clear and enjoyable.Quite sensitive speaker at 90dB but still eats amp's power at ease. Slightly over bright highs but deep and controlled bass.Even second hand,these don't come cheap but it was well worth the money. Next in plan are speaker stands & CD player.

Audio-Technica ATH-M30 Headphones

I wanted to buy headphones for home DJing/listening/monitoring music and I couldn't decide what to get. After going around and checking different headphones in shops, I found good deal on M30's. My comment so far - excellent value for the money. Considering the fact it's a brand new pair and I still didn't play it long enough, they sound very solid and feel quite comfortable on the head. Here's the CNET video review.
