Registration Problem and System Upgrade

Dear Dr. Jon Wong,

I would like to join as a member. However, I tried registering through the webpage but failed. so i resort to manual emailing.

I also need some advice on my system. My system is as fololow:

N.E.W. P3 and A20.1, Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano,Cal Delta transport, Audio Alchemy V1.1 DAC. The sf gp bass sounds a bit muddy whenever I play jazz.

What do u think is the main problem? I suspect that A20.1 does not have enough power to drive the GP.

I m thinking of upgrading my amp and dac. in ur opinion, which should i upgrade first. please recommend what amp and dac. I recently heard the Diva M7 and Blue Sky Pro. I think they are of reasonable price. Are they worth getting?

I don’t seem to be able to find any reviews on them. I love the sound of tubes but find many good tube amp too expensive. Will they drive my GP?

Thank you.

Sunn

Hello Sunn,

Please kindly check your IE5 or Netscape configuration setting. For IE5:

1. Click on ‘TOOLS’

2. Click on ‘INTERNET OPTIONS’

3. Click on ‘PROGRAMS’ from the menu

4. Under the E-mail section, choos ‘Hotmail’ if you are using Hotmail. Otherwise, click on either ‘OUTLOOK’ or ‘OUTLOOK EXPRESS’ if you are using them!

5. You should be able to send e-mails from WEB page after the settings

My suggestion is you should upgrade your pre-amplifier first, for the most rewarding results. Use a tube pre-amp, of course. Diva preamp, although is locally made, sounds very good and impressive.

If you buy a tube power amplifier, you have to take into consideration how to keep them. Tube power amp needs care and love.

For the DAC, you can consider the 24bit 96Khz versions.
