你想我點?

Went to watch Re-Cycle over the weekend in the new cineplex next to the Curve. It was kinda fun day off for me except towards the end when I met up with an old acquaintance. Not that he's old, I think he's my age or slightly older. Tiu, who cares?!

He used to be one of the reveiwers I enjoyed reading back in the good old Audiophile years. Although his rigs are nothing to shout about, at least we know what's he talking about. Unlike another reviewer of the same press who would always try to drown you in his he-thinks-he-is-funny-with-all-silly-babblings which no one has basically any idea of WTF he is talking about!

OKOK, back to the topic, when I started to form my own fundamentals and beliefs in audio, I started to doubt their listening experience. So I always try to avoid speaking about audio whenever I bump into them. Nia ma, it was you who asked me about how my setup is now and I answered.

When I told you I just got my AQ Cheetah interconnects, you fuckin' tell me that you preferred to buy more music?! Hey, what does that mean? You mean I am stupid spending those silly money to get something that has so little perceived values?!

Tiu, if you like music so much, you owe it to yourself to listen to them in their full glory! Tiu, you think I never buy music ar?! The music I buy ar, your setup won't even reproduce them properly!

KNN, people won't see you no up if you frankly admit to the fact that those things are expensive. In fact, I never did, I too have to work on my constraints to acquire what I wanted. I was not born with silver or gold spoon lar, all these stuff I buy them with my hard earned cash, not a single cent from my parents, OK!

我唔講,你問,答完,你又插我一刀,tiu,你想我點?

Hey man, we both have differing priorities. You want your system to sound good and are willing to spend your hard-earned money on it, fine. But never did I infer, nor did the thought even cross my mind, that you were a fool for spending all that money, or if you never bought any CDs. How did you come to those conclusions? Hey, if that's what you want to do, go ahead by all means. That's what individuality and personality is all about. From my viewpoint, I'd rather acquire more good music to play on my fairly decent setup. Am I loath to upgrade my system? Far from it - but given the choice between e.g., a RM3,000 cable and 60 CDs, there's no competition. As for my own set of cables, I'm using three pairs of 99.9999% pure silver i/c's at the moment. Home-brewed, but not by me.

And how did you manage to figure out the capabilities of my system, of which you do not know what it consists of, and you've never seen, heard or come within a hundred feet of before?

And, sorry I spoilt your day. Didn't spoil mine, though. For me it was just a chance meeting with an old acquaintance.
