Best places in Sing for electronics is Sim Lim and best place if you are DIYer is Burlington square thankfully they are all close together. |
The way Alpine is headed (dropped TA etc from their HUs, now there are rumours the H701 is being discontinued), it is clear they are no longer catering to the discerning enthusiast but instead wanting a chunk of the general audio market that Sony, JVC etc have. The only great products are in the F1 range. Sad, but true...
Meanwhile, Surprisingly, even in the US, I see Pioneer clearly overtaking them and Eclipse etc with products like the P80RS etc. Navinji you may remember, last year I said that if Pioneer wants to go legit and if they find a distributor in India with the ***** to take on the grey market, they WILL support them. And that has happened. Hopefully, their pricing will come down, I hear they might even be OEM in some of our cars in the future.
