Here are all the brands I wish to see back in our Malaysian market soon!
Restek is German amplifier brand, with a strong kick in the bottom end, clear mid range and smooth airy highs
Restek also made some Limited Edition stuff for Thorens
This shoe box sized Restek mono block is nice and look at the price, not too expensive too!
The Restek Editor is pre-amp with high end ambitions. The Epal model looks like an integrated amplifier using the same metal case & interface
Acoustic Solid actually has wooden plinth turn tables
Another towering high end turn table offering by Acoustic Solid
The succesor to the hugely popular Pioneer BDP SC LX-88, coming soon is the LX-89 Bluray player, seen here in satin silver finishing
Looks like Pioneer too, is moving back in to hifi! On display are their latest range of integrated amplifier & digital media streamer
Pioneer CD Player cum DAB tuner and digital network streamer with built in ripping capabilities? Seen here is Pioneer’s display sample, which I really do hope will be in production soon
Octave is an interesting German tube amp manufacturer I’d to see in Malaysian shores
Another Octave tube amplifier design
The Octave HP 300SE is a tube pre amp
Octave phono module, now this I am really keen to see coming to Malaysia!
The FiiO R7 is to me at least, a first of its kind. A product that merges a player, digital to analogue convertor, preamplifier and headphone amplifier. All of this is crammed into a uniquely designed chassis that would standout while blending in seamlessly on a desktop setup. Offered in both black and white, the FiiO R7 is by far the most fascinating product currently available in the FiiO catalogue.
About a dozen Taiwanese companies are taking part in the coming Kuala Lumpur International AV show to be held on October 27-29 (Friday – Sunday) at The Gardens Hotel, Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur.
It is double happiness at YY Sound Systems' showroom in Glo Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, as there are two demo systems with different sonic flavours set up.
