Another of limage's test CD was Ray Brown/Laurindo Almeida "Moonlight Serenade", now available only on specialty label, but there is a 180 gm vinyl!

Dr. John, I knew I won't miss if I mention your name! I have come a long way back from AV - now just a humble HTPC user thought the Sony G70 projector is still hanging high in the ceiling. I came back to vinyl because my Sony SACD player is not behaving well these days so I thought may just come back to vinyl. After all these years, I still missed the exquisite punchy and airy Kenny G live that I can never re-capture from the digital CD/SACD. Coincidently a friend of mine, who has just taken the decision to divorce from hifi completely, leaves an asset of 2 Linn LP 12's and about 1000 near mint LPs. Well, I need some time to figure out what to do with it.

Sorry that I can't arrange the visit this Saturday as I'll be out of town. Next Sat (20th) would be OK.

TK,

How are you? I am glad to meet you here. Still let yourself "captured" in the CGO? We should meet up again one day!

TK,

To help you recall who rcwy is, see the pair of DIY monoblocs pictured below, which I bought to your house a few years ago. :)

Dear Dr. John and Kris,

Romantic or not romantic depend largely on the program source. We audiophiles strive hard to attain to a level of neutrality that would allow faithful reproduction of the original recording. Whatever the case, I choose to be carried away happily by your compliments!

There are two underlying themes, Kris, if you allow me to expand:

1. Biggest bang for the buck, and it holds true for everything, albeit luscious lovelies. If we provide the best possible conditions for our system, it could easily go unabashed even among the most extravagant, not forgetting of course the rule of diminishing return.

2. However spectacular a system may sound, the ultimate value still lies in its ability to instill the sense of musical involvement. The coherent soundstage, the holographic images, the palpable layering, the timbre, the nuances et al, all contribute their shares to this enticing effect, which remains the core essence of music.

Right, right, your’re so bloody right!!! (Pink Floyd)
I’m not in the practicing of kissing peoples’ behinds but I feel compelled to compliment and acknowledge your very brief description/definition of what I would call the ultimate goal of sound reproduction. I’ve shied away from review33.com forums and publicly expressing my opinions because there have been an increasing number of people here whose only intent, instead of sharing and learning from others, is to shuffle their what they perceive, excuse my language, their biggest dick in the world down others’ throats.
You’re a scholar and a gentleman.

feikeung,

I intended to jot down a few lines here but you said what I have to say.
But I still feel limage came out of his “ancient tomb” with a purpose. He certainly plays the dies irae for those dead souls who just throw in endless money to “upgrade” and show off their equipment and accessories without paying the small amount of attention to the basic attitude to audio enjoyment. I respect and endorse his intention to widen the music spectrum of those who only fancy "ma siu sin" or "choi kum" as their only reference for assessing their audio systems. The idee fixe of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique accurately describes these people who are going to witness their own executions and funerals in their audio world.

Morning Gentlemen,



Great to see so many old and new faces joining in. Delighted to have you on board!

rcwy: Thank you very much for posting the pictures.

kh33: Dr.Ng, why are you playing here instead of treating patients?

tkchan: EAR 834P is one of our favorites and also currently playing in limage's phono set-up. Please do leave your number with doctorjohn, we've got to get busy on your LP collection!

BenYC & whlee: Where were you guys last Friday?!

JC: I saw "something" in limages' music room with your name written all over it!

feikeung: I think "Right, right, your’re so bloody right!!!" was also part of a lyric in a "Supertramp" song during the mid 70s prior to their "Breakfast in America" released in 1979.I can't recall the name of that song but...., Pink Floyd still rules!

Richard: The other day I had tea with some old colleagues and we talked about you. Heard that you're doing well with the vintage gear.

Kris: Dr. John has my phone number and we can arrange a gathering. Some questions I need to ask on site. The LP collection will have to wait a while till my friend returns from overseas trip.

You’re bloody right!!! It should have been “Bloody Well Right” in Supertramp’s legendary “Crime of The Century” album --- I must be getting old and becoming forgetful.
Likeeee Supertramp too?

Hi Kris,

Seems that I missed another great gathering. I always like Maggie. From now on, I will be day dreaming in the class every Friday, thinking how much fun I am missing....

Happy listening!!!

limage is bloody right about cleaning of the contact points. I've done that 3 months ago and the results were stunning There were improvenents in speed,transparency and dynamics. But you have to do it meticulously,its all blood,sweat and tears. In my case there are 270 tube pins and the respective sockets, tens of RCA plugs,speaker terminals, power cords and their sockets. It took me 2 days to finish the job, time well spent.
But someone say you should clean the contacts at lease every 3 months. Oh my God!

Hi Doc and friends,

Curious to know - How can I clean the RCA female jack effectively and efficiently? This is so hard and tedious....

Good afternoon kris,

Long time no see and no hera your system. This is greetings from Shanghai. Just to let you know I am also like the place of 北京道 一 號 / # 1 Peking Road at TST as I like the Chao Lau dim sum. Moreover, you guys writings on Hi-fi are worth to read.
