Other than having to pay $2 entrance fee in each of my visit, I’ve absolutely nothing but good things to say about Sentosa. He is one true blue music lover who plays a mean guitar. With a towering software collection hunted through the years, he could easily humble most Classic Rock and Metal music lovers’ collection.
Clean cut, stylish modern furnishing and lifestyle living
Sentosa’s main system consists of Marantz - Integrated amp, SACD player and DVD player.
Speakers are a pair of Dali floorstanders with a huge Energy subwoofer.
Before his upgrade to the Performance Magnum, he was previously using Technics SL1200 Mk2 and the Clearaudio Emotion turntable.

Clearaudio Performance turnable with the Satisfy tonearm in Ebony wood. Cartridge is Sumiko Blue Point No. 2
The Performance Magnum raises the total height of the standard Performance turntable by 2”. The 70 mm platter further improves image stability, quietness and an overall smoother sound.

Sentosa hails the Clearaudio Matrix record cleaning machine as the better invention than iPhone. Your LP collection deserves it!
This is a dedicated software room. Two large, full room length, full height shelves, house some 4,000 LP, box sets and several hundreds of CD, heaps of 7” singles (see left) and books. The Clearaudio Matrix would certainly be put to good use.
Sentosa’s plans to turn this room into his software library with purposeful wall-to-wall cabinets, decorative lighting, posters and a library ladder of course.
