with web 2.0 catching fast on netizens, even audiophiles from sleepy kelantan have caught on with the blogging fad!

for the mandarin readers among you, here's one interesting hifi blog from my virtual friend in kelantan. calling his blog "fatty's hifi journey", you can certainly tell that chua has a great sense of humour.

his gear is definitely high-end; it would embarrass anyone out there who claims to be high-end.

but most importantly, chua's passion sees no bound, so too is his pocket, i suspect ;-)

enjoy!

I have always thought a top notch system would not need so many tweeks.
ML,HK
Maybe tweeks would be a good future topic.

A lot of the stuffs that he use are essential parts of setting up a good system;

Oyaide wall receptacles-?the best

Finite elemente Cereball

Good shelving.

I thought the way he put things together was just brilliant!!

I am just wondering whether he will be moving from Symposium rollerblock to The finite elemente racks.

I did that,and the improvements were quite significant

I have listened to the Reimyo combo(in a different set-up,of course) and thought that it was one of the best soiunding digital front I have heard....In the same company as the dcs and Meitner seperates.

The Reimyo has a very 'analogou' sound from my previous listening.Certainly for all those vinylphiles who wants their digital sound less digital.I thought the combinations with Classe is pretty brilliant.
