Arrival in Singapore ... a great City ....very interesting from the Historical Point of View .... I decided to be a bit lazy and booked guided City Tours....and I love the food there...outstanding multi cultural ... I was invited to Seafood Restaurants...never had such good quality before (freshness, taste), also extremely friendly people ... and got contact to local audiophiles...chattering about 'tis and 'tat... nice. The Show itself is not so big but what I heard, quite important for the whole area (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia area...) ... the sound in the Show is comparable to others you are well aware, my personal favorite here was the Demo room from Kondo, they used a quite inexpensive speaker from ProArc (about 5k$) and it was stunning but as usual, based on the enormous hardware pricing the speaker did not get the respect it deserved. Anyway, a very good match. What caught my interest, there were 2 DACs in the rack, an old Forsell one and a new Zanden, mostly they used the Forsell. I asked for a chance to listen to the Zanden unit, they changed the connectors and ...in a way it sounded much more worse than before and when they asked what I prefer I said the Forsell...and they agreed and switched back. It is also their favorite one. Not the official solution but they concentrate on analog anyway. Also very popular is advanced Audio Video, latest seems to be wireless from Goldmund, can't say anything about the quality because there were Speakers everywhere but I enjoyed the movies...
The journey was going to end...I got a lot of very interesting impressions.
