KL International AV Show (2009)

Finally got myself committed to pay a visit to the recent KLIAV show at JW Marriott Hotel, my first ever actually. My objectives are simple, listen to the best setup (for reference purpose) and spend as less as possible during the visit. :)

The entrance fee of RM10 really worth it (with lucky draw too, but I only got the lousy pen as souvenir), you have to opportunity to listen to ten thousand, hundred thousand and even million dollars of HiFi setup, not a bad ROI huh!

My personal favourites are,

1) Moon setup with German Physiks Carbon MK IV speakers (according to the salesperson, this one is >RM400k). The moment I step into the room, I got hook up with the unique and distinguish sounds. I must say I'm really impressed. Look at the unique speakers, WOWwww.


2) Full Onix setup. The sound is so warmth with their choice of CDs.



For the rest of photo that I have taken, just enjoy the slideshow.

If you are a car enthusiast, this is a yearly event that you don't want to miss. Also, this is an event where the professional photographers and amateur photographers like myself try to show off our photography skilllllllllll.

Sea Ya @ Sunway Carnival Mall

In conjunction with school holiday, I am bringing my family to Sea Ya @ Sunway Carnival Mall. The whole concourse area of the mall turns into a mini marine wonderland, with live fishes and other activities. We are having a good time.

Yes, you heard it right. Not Ferrari outside the house.

Room Acoustic Treatment

After long searching, finally settled down with Roxul MPS400 1" thick insulation material (Density: 80kg/m3). Per pack of 12 sheets (size of 4' x2') cost me around RM100. MPS400 is a non-combustible and firesafe material. My advise don't look for cheap egg crate for acoustic treatment, fire risk is something you should avoid at all cost.

For those DIY hardcore, here is the BOM for making sound trap and the material cost is around RM200. Enough for making 4 triangle traps (17"x17"x24"), 6 rectangle traps (4'x2'), 4 square traps (2'x2') and 1 windows trap (4'x5').

BOM for wooden frames:
2/8" Plywood (4'x8') - 3 pcs
1"x2" Wood (12') - 13 pcs
Wood glue - 2 tubes
Silicon sealer - 1 tube

BOM for fixing:
L hook - 32 pcs
Eye hook - 32 pcs
Wall plugs - 32 pcs
Nails - plenty

BOM for wrapping:
Cloth (60" width) - 9m

My dad has been a great help to me in making the sound traps. He is such a great carpenter and at the age of 71, still got the strength to saw and nail. I must admit that my carpentry skill is no way close to him.

Let's take a close look at the wooden frames with MPS400.







The finished products. Got professional touch, right.
