What an opportunity last night!
My friend and I had a gathering with David in Hong Kong.
A guru, authority, master...!
I learned a lot from him!

And the gathering was so interesting because I brought my friend Thomas Li who owns an Air Force 1 Premium (and will buy the AF Zero) with me.
Haha

Was it an omission to close the curtains?
I viaited Thomas' home N times.
I prefer to close the window curtains, despite the nice sea view.
But he always likes to keep them open and he's the host last night.
Haha

The back of my bald head? Thank you Ron !
It was a real pleasure meeting this wonderful group of High Enders during my brief stay in Hong Kong, thank you for your hospitality and friendship and a special shout-out to Howie for arranging it.
Some pictures to follow next week.

I deliberately didn't mention why David was in Hong Kong.

I guess David will soon open another new thread on "Setting up AS2000 in Fast East ... ".
:cool:

I had
What do you guys drive in Hong Kong; ICE or EV?

I had a Tesla Model X but it was bought when the tax on EV's was 0%. But it is now >100% (same as ICE) depending on the value so the sale of Teslas has gone from the best selling 'luxury' vehicle to the worst....i sold mine because it was such a piece of dog shxx....

so ICE for now.

I've known David for many years. I have learned in that time, that unless you really want to know, you should never ask David "so what do you think?"

That is good to know, Steve. From the photo above, I see the Magico M6 and Pass XS amps. I would love to know David's impressions of Thomas' system. I see the dCS stack, but can't make out the turntable which appears to be behind the left speaker. There are clearly LPs in the room.

Looks like a great gathering and I anticipate David's new thread.

It was an AF1 Premium with SAT and Ortofon Century. Nice set up. We had an enjoyable day visiting three different systems.
