Pro-Ject Debut III & Phono Box II

Bought a Pro-Ject Debut III turntable recently. Kind of a retro way to listen to music when everyone are using iPod. This turntable does not come with in-built preamp, so I had to buy the Phono Box II. From the preamp, I can connect the sound directly to a speaker or to my DAC. I still listen most of my mp3s from my laptop. So far I only bought vinyl sung by Duffy, huge fan of her voice, and I also have Parachutes by Coldplay which my sister bought. Somehow, listening to Duffy's song from vinyl sound better from mp3s.

I overheard a conversation between a Chinese and an Ang Mo, both of them are photographers, but the Ang Mo has a Media Pass. So the Ang Mo was stand in front shooting with another 2 photographers with Media Pass. Lucky he was not blocking me, but he was blocking the Chinese Guy. Half-way into the show, the Chinese Guy get a bit frustrated....

Chinese Guy: Can you move abit?

The Ang Mo flashed him the Media Pass then ignore the Chinese guy and continue his shooting.

As the show ends, the Chinese guy decided to confront the Ang Mo again.......

Chinese Guy: Hey! Doesn't mean that you have the Media Pass, you can do whatever you like! There so much space over there, why must you stand infront of me!

The Ang Mo continue to ignore him, seeing that there no point arguing with the Chinese Guy. In the end, the Chinese Guy also LL.

Moral of the story: Don't whine at the person who has a Media Pass, that won't help anything.

Advice to the Chinese Guy: Either you go get a Media Pass or go and buy a ladder(if you know what is the LadderGang)!
