Equally big in Ipoh (actually, Dong Fong originally started in Pusing town but now they have a branch in Fair Park, Ipoh), Dong Fong captures the other half of the clientele that eludes Audio Art. In fact, the rivalry between Dong Fong and Audio Art is the best piece of gossip in Ipoh. Ok, we are not a gossip paper so we won’t dwell on that :-)
Proprietor Ah Lin is the most likeable sort of dealer. Easy-going and friendly in nature, he makes you feel at home. Some observers say Ah Lin doesn’t need the money, so he is very cool about his business. Whatever the case, one can’t deny that he is passionate about hifi.
Apart from its vast inventory of 2nd hand equipment, which include classic brands like Duntech, VTL, Audio Research, Dong Fong is also the Perak dealer for Thiel (speakers), Zingali (speakers), NBS (cables) and Avantgarde (speakers).
While Ah Lin manages the HQ in Pusing, the branch in Fair Park, Ipoh is managed by Ah Lin’s nephew, Ken Sin, a young man who is also very friendly and approachable.
Whether it is Audio Art or Dong Fong, you will find a trusted dealer in them. Oh, by the way, they only speak basic English. If you are conversant in any Chinese dialects, it would help greatly in communications. Anyway, hifi is a universal language… maybe sign language will suffice!
