Setup my Akitmate Mini with my portable DAC

How is your moving in getting on? Tested the cable? Nice meeting you

No problem.

Viewing is good especially when on movie. 9 feet away from eye view to plasma tv.

Bought the speaker cables Black or Red tag? You choose

Let me check out again, I called the salesman, he said terminated with banana plus are bi-wired. If ok, I can buy 1st, you pick from me when you free.

No worries, no hurry, check out and let me know.

Uk not cheap to buy at times. I went to Seng Heng @ Aldephi located at B1. Yes, 2 pcs of 3m with banana plug.

I did some research on speaker cable, can consider chord company carnival Silverscreen for speaker cable. Any series above this seems overkill. Seems to have good reviews and wont turned your music bright.Checked out locally, for 3m terminated with chord vee banana plug, $90 for 1 pair. Maybe we can share since aktimate mini needs 1 pc only. Also, if you are looking for RCA interconnect, can consider Chord crimson plus, $90 for 1m.

Can consider this for? Belkin C-Series 8-Socket Concealed Surge Protector If you forsee that you will expand further, get 5 bays, because it allows you to buy additional 5 bays expansion :notti: I had expanded 1, left 1 to go.

Do a box-up below your study desk for your messy wires?You are sold on 5 bays NAS? :notti:

I'm aware of the HWZ MO, will try when times is ripe. :sport-smiley-004: Try Seng Heng electrical trading @ Aldephi. Chord & QED are available there. Can use Borderlinx to ship back, they provides UK address. Now I know why you got messy wires, I thought was from your wife's setup. :bangwall: No point waiting for 4TB, too expensive, 1 pc can buy 2 pcs of 3TB. Go for 3TB, worth buying now. Rem, buy it when you need it. For the NAS, if you are heading 5 bays, can buy 3 pcs of hdd to do raid 5. Thats miminum.

Yup, table from Franc Franc, bought it when the their sales started. Yup, got my white mini locally from Aldephi, itchy backside, went and audition Mini while I'm there to buy Audioengine 5+ 8| I was considering whether to import Herman miller chair from Amazon I got 2 spare chairs at my folks' place, lazy to bring over. Looked similar like Herman, of cos quality not as good Herman though each cost @600-800 range. Cant rem... :bow: I have not setup my mini because I yet to buy speaker cable because I do not like stock cables & banana plugs come with.Can consider Chord or QED XT if you itchy to change 10% of your cost to system. I thought you are using iMac system? Or you are using mac display? You should try pure DAC I bought this because I do wish to have another powered DAC so I went for USB powered DAC. I would say it is 1 time off purchase, save you pretty much lot of times to house keep the files when your library expanded.Also, with raid5 on your NAS, redundancy in place to avoid data lost. Why setup the NAS when you had faced data lost, so do it when nothing had happens! 4 bays relatively still below 1k tag, 5 bays would be 1.4k+- tag. Can try Amazon, quite cheap buying off from there. I bought mine from Memoryworld for my 5 bays because of 3 years warranty. If I remembered correctly, 4 bays is 2 years & 1/2 bays @1 year. Also, go for WD raid hdd, quite good.

Spent the weekend to setup my study area, 90% done but tired :bow: Gaming cum drama zone My study desk, mine still incomplete, need to fill my newly bought Aktimate Mini speaker, poisoned by Kim76 Her study desk Here is the Aktimate Mini Also bought Audioengine USB DAC to pair with Aktimate Mini

Gold plated socket, supposes to last longer than usual normal plastic socket. It also looked nicer in my sense. Haha...

$38 due to the wiring of power point for 1x cove light, $10 was charged to install the cove light. It is a pretty standard pricing. Why charge $38 per point?Simple, ask yourself, was the point there in the 1st place? If no, $38 is chargeable as it is required to wire the point with eletricity supply. Likewise, if there is a lighting point there, only $10 will be charged.

Ordered 4 additional for family & friends :sport-smiley-004: They liked when they saw it :dancingqueen: water will not slip out of the mat, moreover, material and build is good, not cheapo thin mat to me.

Pretty shag out from moving our stuffs over to our new home. My 2nd shifting in 5 years :bleah: Moreover, too busy with works, cant take leave to unpack. Received some stuffs from Amazon.

Not completed yet, need to fill up the top right slot empty space beside my Dune HD. :notti:

122"W x 29"H x 25.5"D(Internal) & 30"(external). 2 powerpoints for this setup with intention of using 1 more when I subscribes to mio & cablevision. I had installed 4 powerpoints, 1 as spare for future expansion. 1 powerpoint -> surge protector for TV 1 powerpoint -> surge protector extension plug for hifi stuffs 1 powerpoint(optional) -> surge protector for mio & cablevision As for mio tv, I had installed 1 tel point hidden in my console. Connection should be straight forward. Tel point -> singnet filter -> mio box -> Onkyo 818(offline passthrough enabled) -> 65" Plasma Tv

His oppo93 is the CD player.

Spent some times to stuffs the gadgets into the console. Front Side

Will do over the wkend, transfering stuffs over to new place :sport-smiley-018:

You are hunting for him :notti:
