Budget interconnects under RM100

azadmd — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 11:51:12 +0800

I'm looking for stereo interconnects, HDMI and composite cable that are better quality than freebie or RM10 cable. I'm afraid premium cables like QED or Cambridge costs RM100+

I found 'so called' goldplated, 99% ofc, copperfree, injected, better shield, somethin2 all under RM50.

1) Philips
2) Komo
3) Sarowin

Which to choose?

Fighting Games with Master Characters Cpu

azadmd — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:52:13 +0800

i own ps2 & love fighting games but i get bored easily because once we know cpu's weakness its easy. my friends & nephews only like cc games.

i owned dreamcast in 2000 ( kaput in 2002 ). i remember in sf zero 3, after fighting all expert mode cpu ( boring ), it unlocked 3 modded cpu ( ryu, sakura, dan ) and i tell you fighting them was fun & challenging its like playing with a person. i have never met any fighting games like these modded cpu. on wiki these are called ''master character''

i wanna get xbox 360 because of super sf4 but i'm afraid it will be boring to fight cpu with same moves & weakness. these goes for kof, tekken, soul blade.

is there any pc or console games that have some kind of modded or downloaded cpu ''master character'' which is better than an arcade mode cpu?

Speaker Stand for Bookshelf Speaker

azadmd — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:41:25 +0800

my 5kg speaker each is now on a Rm7 plastic chair. not too bad sound actually.

a pair of speaker stand should optimum the sound, right?

- are there any other place can i get on budget, i mean at Rm350 pair quality model stand is too much.
- steel or wood?
- the heavier the stands the better right? so the Rm39 satellite stand is a no?
- the cheapest i can find is black steel unknown quality 3kg each at Rm250 pair height at above knee level ( exact the same as my plastic chair height ). should i go for it?

Just Bought a Mission MX1 speakers! Now What?

azadmd — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:08:01 +0800

This will be my 1st stereo setup. Bought the famous 5 star Mission MX1 speakers at RM750. Pair it with my sony karaoke receiver and sansui EQ the sound is satisfiying but I felt its less musical. So a dedicated stereo amp should do the speakers justice. I hope.

So I wanted a budget amp. The Whathifi magazine suggest the Denon Dab38 micro cd receiver but I only can found online 2ndhand at RM1200! So expensive.

The magazine also suggest non bright amps. These are my options and I don't know if these amps are bright or warm. These are new:

Yamaha AS300 , Marantz 5004 , Denon 520 = RM999
Cambridge SR10 , Yamaha AS500 = RM1199
Marantz 6004 = RM1299
Nad C316 = RM1399

I don't think I need the Phono, Sub-Out, B Terminal.

I really like the Nad for the simplicity and space saving but its the most expensive here! Yamaha is the heaviest and took space in my small room.

Do you guys think Nad and Marantz 6004 have higher quality than others or is just about the same. Is worth it if I go for Nad? If Nad not worth the price / quality then which amp you suggest? Thanks.
