Whoa Leonard, keep on rockin' in the free world! Awesome collection!

Glad to see someone having choice selections of Deep Purple.
I feel, Machine Head ranks as most awesome album. Have the SACD version of this album..the sonic quality from the SACD is a revelation.

Man.. U have 2 Pink Floyd CDs I'm wanting to get - The Division Bell and The Final Cut. Fab stuff!

Thanks for the offer Bro. I'll get along to purchasing the albums anyway. Your beautiful sleeves of the Division Bell just inspired me to purchase a copy

My Pink Floyd collection is rather limited. I only have Dark Side of the Moon SACD, The Wall, Wish You Were Here and Animals.

The Dark Side of the Moon SACD sounds amazing. I have quite a collection of Pink Floyd cds. I have all the albums except Ummagumma and A Momentary Lapse of Reason. On top of that I have Shine On box set (9 CD). I've just started collecting their albums on vinyls, managed to acquire Dark Side of The Moon so far. Anyone wants to let go any Pink Floyd records? Hehe

The KLIAV is allways on the 3rd week end of July, namely starting on a friday, then sat and sun. friday is always 11.30am about there. Sat and sun will be earlier, 10am. Always on the 1st day if u are looking for bargain CDs and LPs! sometimes even bargain stuffs like speakers, cables etc., on the 1st day too!

I started buying SACDs about 6 months ago as the sound quanlity is simply more superior than the normal red book CDs.

I went to Rock Corner ini Garden yeaterday and the sales staff told me that customers were non longer allowed to try out SACDs. I really think this is pure stupidity. How could they expect us to fork out between RM 100- RM 120 to buy something unheard of?

I wonder if anyone could recommend an outlet where one could try out the SACDs before committing. This is so sad as compared to Singapore. I went to "That CD Shop" in Singapore along Orchard Road. Not only I could try out all the SACDs I liked, the sales lady was so knowledgable and she was so pretty which was a big bonus.

Every time I go to this shop, they would bring me a big stack for preview. Now, if only I had all the time in the world!

Bought a few from forumer seller here, another lot from Hong Kong arrived this morning. Made my day!. Enough expenditure for the month. The lot from HK is so much cheaper than the asking price here by a margin little more than 30%. One of them is a Hugo remaster LPCD 1630 type (not CDR).
All in all, I could have a Japanese buffet with the savings. Sometimes I feel like a blardi fool buying from local shops. Can really get irked at local prices unless I've no choice where it can't be found on the internet. Sometimes the "new" CD's look like raped virgins, MOREOVER that stupid local hologram spoiling the cover insert. I'll NEVER buy a CD with that damn hologram. Buy from online its nearly for certain the item is still virgin.
Can see the brimstone brewing in wifey's eyes.. bah!

Sigh.. a number of my cds are really spoilt by the ^&&$^ local "anti-piracy" holograms. At least if they stick that to the casing I can remove but the worst are those stuck to the cover sleeve itself1

Thats why I show my disgust in NOT buying any of those that have that hologram. Will buy online instead, better price on top of it, Be alert of their sales promo as to price. Thats what I did, with extreme patience. (and luck).
I bought some Polydor re-issues (mini LP replica) of some long past artists, (maybe not laku anymore now) at US$6.29 each. The same HERE sells for Rm32 (maybe 10% discount). Buy a minimum amount and shipping is FOC right to your doorstep! I don't have to waste petrol and parking fees at some shopping complex unless I'm there for multiple purposes. I have to buy this because I can't afford the actual LP's. The re-issues may not compare 100% against the actual LP but its close enough and well mastered for all intent and purpose. Bang for the buck and pragmatic approach to wanting music that you luv to enjoy?
Show your disgust, don't buy local if you hate the hologram sticker.

Would you be kind enough to share the contact detail of the seller. I really hate to go back to Rock Corner Garden. RCG used to have some very helpful staff but now it is manned by a middlel aged Chinese chap (with spectacles) whom I think is a rude bastard and an autie who is totally lack of social skill .

I really miss the pretty lady in "That CD Shop" who made my CD purchase a wonderful experience.

Well.. I buy 80-90% of my CDs via mail order anyway but it's not good if what's left of our local music retail goes under hence I will once in a while get a CD from a local store though there's really nothing to get nowadays. This hobby is really dying..

Not to worry about local cd shops. The local audiophile community is small and most other customers are not fussy about issues that may seem trivial. In this case, my own interest and preference come first.

Chenht: PM you the contact details.

Totally agree with CM and most of you guys..... the WEB is the place for now....

Obnoxious prices for all things related to Hifi......

cheers

Obnoxious is not enough.. Its OBSCENE! especially that hologram.

BTW.. which web mail order facilities do you use? I'm using Amazon UK (cheaper shipping than US) and CDWOW (free shipping) but contemporary jazz from the likes of ECM label are very expensive. Any good/decent alternatives?

And they can't even stick the bloody hologram properly.. It's all over the place with screwed alignment..

You know lah, workers here ain't doing work with luv and care. Even my plate of Nasi Kandar for a high price looks like a plate of mess.
Anyway, think that hologram is here to stay as its government revenue for every hologram. Its not free you know.

The hologram was created so that some high and mighty guys sitting on the top can make some quick and big $$$$$$ just like the liquor, beer, medication, etc.

ssshhhhhh... don't say it out so loud...... ha ha ha...

lets not dwelve into that area..... its get everyone hot blooded.
It's an open book secret .

cheers

Speaking about local cd shops, what irks me most is the quality of CD player and headphones for testing. Gosh!.. many look on the verge of collapse, intermittent operation, sometimes I've got to ask for help why the music is one sided on h/p. Hate it!.
Thats why I have a standby CD discman in my bag to tryout, if permitted. At least I'm familiar with my player acoustics and can judge whether the cd is worth buying or not. Imagine me carrying a Linn Sondek around...hahahaha!

If there is a need to get a CD locally, Rock Corner at Bangsar Village is my choice. Very Very helpfull owner.

If in the mood for used Cd's, Amcorp mall fleamarket level 2 or 3 and there are two to three sellers.

cheers

Actually the good days of getting best cd's are over in town and newbies have to search high n low countrywide. Even the choice at KLAV are disappointing in recent years, but great deals can still be found, so I'd never miss the opportunity as long as I'm able.
Still have a few dozen more albums in my want list, mostly obscure ones and not many that are preferred by audiophiles.
Yes, I grabbed those recent for sale Lily Chen cd's from here. (frequently seen them at shops but never really wanted to buy till I saw 3 used albums on sale at a very affordable price, couldn't resist)

Patience will net you some very very good CD / Lp's..... and thats speaking from experience. For the matter for everything in life...

latest acquistion " dire straits - brother in arms" - mint condition used - at a flea market price. Missed out on Mary Black .....

Well you win some and you lose some....positive thinking...

cheers

Dire Straits BIA... GREAT album to own.
I've the LP (not the re-issue), XRCD, SACD, 2 other (UK and US press). Yes, sure..no mistake and a horder.

926 Cds + 39 LPS (all 33 rpm)
