Andrew, how are the prices comparing,ÿparticularlyÿon the UK gear, Naim etc ? I haven't been to HK for a good while.
I normally go down to Singapore for my needs and window shopping, which has similar 'clusters' and 'shopping centres' of HiFi shops, although not so much of the 'pack em, stack em and rack em' shops....The prices are great and it's just so nice wandering around a whole centre of individual shops, each specialising in a few brands, and having separate stores for cabling or a store dealing only in headphones & amps etc....You really can spend a day browsing before you even sit down to listen to anything !
There's a similarÿseriousness that you found there in HK, an almostÿconnoisseur air about good 2 channel gear....Which while I guess still exists in a few specialist UK dealers and stores, there's just more of it in places like Singapore and HK it seems...
WHF reviews and tear-sheets are often posted on the walls, around equipment and in store fronts too ÿ- always there giving a helping hand !!!
