Once again, I've rekindled my love for hifi and great sounds with the unveiling of this blog. With this, I hope to be able to share, with other like minded folks, this passion of mine and which I am eager to learn more about.

Dont get me wrong! I'm no big time hifi expert per se. Like most, I have limited knowledge of these fantastic stuff. And that's where my dear readers come in, to read, share and progress in this journey of learning and hearing. :)

So what makes a good hifi? In my personal opinion, I'd prefer for a neutral system, one that is as honest as possible. In other words, I'd like it if its not too inclined towards bloated bass, or too much treble. It should calm me when the music calls for it, and excite when the CD in the player warrants that.

There are some systems in Singapore, that in my opinion, has earned my extreme liking. One is the system located in Gramaphone @ Capitol. Its made up of a Spark CD player, a Primaire A.30 amp, and Klipsch floorstanders. I just love the bass extension of the floorstanders! The smoothness of the delivery never fails to amaze me.

As for me, Im listening to my tunes through a Harmon Kardon AVR 35 receiver, a pair of Mordaunt Short MS10i Pearls as the mains, with a Jamo Centre 70 and a pair of Kenwood rears. A Bose Freespace sub fills in the gap. The weakest link of my system has got to be my Sharp DVD player, which does a pretty great job for movies, but not for music! Tunes played through the FM receiver sounds alot better as compared to CD equivalents.

I'd be looking to upgrade my system sooon. The first to go will be the Bose sub. It a good performer, but totally mismatched to my main speakers!

So much for the first blog. I'll be back with more! Hang in there and God bless =)
