Room acoustic treatment

Notice the acoustics treatment panels behind speakers and the bass trap in the corner. 
After  installation that was quite simple , room acoustic is improved and the music sounds better. 
I have two additional panels and one more bass trap that I keep in another room. 



Iphone 6 , Ipad 3

 Forgot to update this two gadgets. I've been using iphone for quite some time already.
I bought new one , 64GB version silver grey and using privacy glass filter on it. Really excellent phone, made me move away from Samsung, but I still keep the S4 as a spare phone.

Recently I bought used ipad3 (cellular ,16 GB retina display). I use it for Spotify and music apps control, but it's also an excellent device for surfing web. For what I need this older ipad is great.










Replacing the rubber surrounds on B&W 602 S3 speakers

 My cat revenged on one of the speakers and left a hole in the rubber surrounding the cone.
 I've ordered the replaceable rubber surrounds and glue from online shop in Europe and shipped it back to Singapore. Good friend suggested to leave this work to experts because it's not easy to do the cone centering. After researching ,I found the old repair shop servicing speakers in Burlington square (Martin electronics) who did good job repairing.
After repair was done in 2-3 days , I've mounted back the mid-bass units and the music is back! :)

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.
