Insane. If you manage to watch it all...

Nice gear starts around 23 minutes in.

I know this place very well. Used to visit it frequently on short R&R breaks when I lived in Bangladesh. As I recall, the prices were pretty good but did not differ from one retailer to another and there was very little haggling room. The choice was phenomenal though.

I used to come back to Dhaka with dozens of CDs each time I went there. :)

Mouth wattering place. Been there several times and had my best audio experience with an over The top MBL set up with a naar live sound. A must see for audiophiles.

Was planning a trip to Singapore. Will check it out when I do eventually make it to the Marina Bay Sands.

I was out in Singapore for two weeks last month and made two visits to this mall. The results were as follows:

- Went on Sunday 11th because the website advised the mall was open from 10am until 10pm every day. Whilst this was factually correct, what they failed to mention was that 95% of the shops inside were shut on Sundays.

- Re-visited on Saturday 17th. Turned out there was a hi-fi and electronics show elsewhere in Singapore which all the shop owners were attending, so they were all shut AGAIN. :steam: Mrs. B did ask if I wanted to go to the show but I decided I couldn't be bothered, so we did a duck tour of Marina Bay and went for afternoon tea at the Fullerton Hotel instead!

I did have a quick walk round before we left, though, and come face to face through a closed shop window with my first ever Pioneer Exclusive P3a. The drool stains will clean off the glass, I'm sure...

Stayed in Singapore twice and didn't know about this place doh. Went to a huge store over many floors of electronics, computers and cameras in Beijing, must get my daughter to take me to a hi fi place next time, must be somewhere in Beijing as the Far East do things big.

Saw that video on You Tube, interesting. I like that guy's channel, very enthusiastic. His trips to Japan are very interesting, he visits audio shops and record shops.

This place is great for high end and international brands. However, as I recall, it can't even begin to compare with Hong Kong for over the top wacky designs and rip offs of classic pieces: so called replica editions.

I’ve got 4 days in Singapore next March. It seems I’m going to have to escape from SWMBO one morning. I know, I’ll tell her she can go bloody shoe shopping on her own :)

I used to live in Hong Kong most of the time in the 90s, so used to pop over to Singapore most weekends to visit the Adelpi the place was really buzzing packed with people every day spending big. I made many wonderful friends at the Adelphi many who I still am in touch with and share the same passion I have visited many of there homes to listen to there personal systems and are far most passionate than majority of the UK dealers in terms of sheer hi end. I am told me business is very hard for them now, many of them keep on going through passion pumping money in from other sources of income the place has lost its vibrancy as the customers are far fewer. The thai and hong kong markets seem to be more Vibrant for some reason.

I am glad its still there and the great dealers who keep the place going have to be really commended. I made an effort and visited a few weeks back as had to visit family, and made a purchase I like to support the place as it is totally Unique in every way one thing for sure the great souls are still as enthusiastic as ever many running wonderful systems at home.

I just hope the place keeps on running as the day the Adelphi shuts down would be one of the saddest days in my life.

Wow, found it. What a place. Now 49 hi-fi stores. Went to a grand opening (we were passing and got invited in for a chat and lunch)

I've been watching and following his videos for some time now, very likable and enthusiastic chap with a good knowledge and understanding of what to look for, he has three techies an Avid sequel with SME 5 and a Rega P3.

I loved his three videos of buying a 1200mk5, quite an ordeal but very worthwhile in the end.
