The long and arduous process of VW

Article source: The long and arduous process of VW Malaysia's warranty claim

lIt's been 11 weeks since I last drove my VW Golf 1.4 TSI, and today I've got it back. I never imagine it will take this long to fix my ride, after all it was built by Germans in Germany and not some dweeb in Italy at an Alfa plant. Plus it came with a 5 year warranty, that will definitely say something about how reliable the car is... or in my case how unreliable.

P/s: I'm not the owner, just sharing it in forum and start discussion.

I like one of the tips he give in the end. LOL!

Andiboi — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:07:55 +0800

Hi guys,
Can introduce me any CPU that below RM1000.

The spec i come up only:
Proc - Athlon AM3 x2 = 185
Mobo - Asus M4N68-AM = rm175
Ram - 2gb = rm140
GC - HD5450 = rm230
Casing + PSU = anything below rm200
HDD = *headache* if add, it's over budget.

Usage: office work, some photoshop, autocad, little bit of 3d work

Goldring Headphones Discussion Thread

Andiboi — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:43:38 +0800

First of all, let me describe a little bit of myself. The first headphone I owned is ‘Goldring DR50’ and then I bought myself another headphone which is ‘Alessandro MS-1’. I truly amazed by ‘ms-1’ sound produced, I let friends around me to try it out and they were impressed. After awhile, I thought myself to bring the full potential out from ‘ms-1’ so I bought head-amps and DAC. Next, I went to ‘Yuheng’ place to audit his ‘Alessandro MS-2’. He’s really friendly and helpful person who instruct me into head-fi world. Then, I bought ‘sennheiser PX100’.

Head-fi journey:
Early stage: Goldring DR50/Alessandro MS-1 + Visely Hea-1 + Zune/PC
2nd stage: Grado SR60/Alessandro MS-1 + GoVibe Petite Headamp/DAC + Laptop
Later stage: Alessandro MS-1 + Ibasso D2 Viper + PC/Laptop
Recently: Alessandro MS-1/Sennheiser PX100/Goldring DR-150 + Ipod Touch
*Ordered: Crossroad HR2/Grado iGrado*

Lately, I been active in ‘Audiophiles forum’ and someone made me remind back the Goldring DR-150. I was recalled back when I first made my purchase in Goldring DR50 and I actually have tested the DR150 model which like few years ago. I started to find reviews about ‘DR150’ – found out that it’s been in market for quite long and it’s not popular compares to sennheiser or grado. I decided to step in ‘CMY’ retail shop (1utama branch) and try out the headphone again. The person still remembers who I am where I bought the dr50 from him for quite long time ago. After audit for half an hour without any disturbance, I take out my wallet and bring back home.

I’ll not describe how it sounds by words. All I can say is; this headphone is the most satisfied piece that I’ve owned so far. It’s definitely an upgrade - at least to my untrained ears.
*Note: I only have less than 20 hours with DR-150, whereas Alessandro MS-1 has more than 500 hours.*

Let’s continue discuss about Goldring Headphones. Users please share your thought and experiences.

[WTA] HT Recommendation/Suggestion.

Andiboi — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 23:58:31 +0800

HI ALL PRETTIES AND HANDSOMES!,

I moving to new house soon. It's in renovating process.
So i plan to come up with HT System. The problem is i know nutz about Home Theater. I was into Hifi Stereo System last time.
Ok long story short, just need a little suggestion or advices.
My plan goes:
Plasma TV = Panasonic 42"
DVD+Bluray+Game Console = PS3 [Is it good choice to made the PS3 as multi purpose machine?]
Astro = Astro

"Orange" referred that i decided and planned to buy already. Please do let me know if there is an unappropriated or not suitable system stated above.

AVR - No idea
Speakers - No idea
My budget for "Blue" is around RM2k, possible?
I'm placing all speakers at the front as i don't like messy wirings.
So what do you guys suggest? Chose stereo setup instead of surround? or Surround[4.1/5.1/6.1/7.1/etc] System placed all at front?
What do you guys think?

Thanks.
