i read with interest this thread: http://sgsoundsystem.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6143&page=4 it contains some of my favourite elements of interactive internet forum activity, and some of the performances are truly oscar material. however, today's question is not really about theatrics. it's another one of those things that i dun understand in ICE. so i got to ask u all lah.... Why IASCA tuning cannot listen audiophile music? this is i think the 2nd time i heard this, but both times i have no opportunity to ask why. 1st time was cos i think i forgot who said it, and 2nd time, the thread has been locked before i even discovered such eroticism existed in ICE forums. but anyway ... i hope brother wilco is in this forum too. i dun dare to pose this question in sgsoundsystem cos i scared in future i have to pull down my pants when i play ICE. it intrigues me that, as a certified IASCA judge, brother wilco commented that IASCA's tuning is unsuitable for good music. what is wrong with this IASCA tuning? is IASCA tuning different from EMMA / AMMA / whateverMAMA tuning? i donno, i'm not sure what was taught in the judging course. if it's the same, then EMMA tuning also no good for nice music? umm.. so what is good for nice music? home hifi tuning? i think most of us would agree this part is true, unless there are still some jedis who still believe $10k speakers in cars can smell the smoke of a $3k home system. so assuming this is true, that home hifi tuning plays good music. so what is implied here is that IASCA tuning is NOT the same as home hifi tuning, and hence, it cannot play good music. was that what was covered in the judging course? or is it the interpretation of brother wilco? i'm sorry i'm not criticising brother wilco, i just don't understand, that's why i'm asking. i don't expect wilco to be in this forum, i'm not sure. so whoever knows what is IASCA tuning (mr jeff, the IASCA man?), can please teach me? i also wanna try try fight IASCA competition one day leh ... when i can finally find a buyer for my crap speakers.

Hi Guys, There will be A IASCA JUDGE TRAINING COURSE on 24 to 26 nov.06 @ Copthorne Orchid Hotel. Just log on to www.iascasingapore.com web site to get application form.

For those taking part in the up coming IASCA competition, please take note of these changes in the rulebook. Competitors may ask assistance from any IASCA official or the IASCA Office directly to help them identify proper classification. The following pages describe these Divisions and Classes and their judging criteria. There are no official power wattage classes in any IASCA Competition Format, with the following exception: In the event a contest has 20 competitors or more in any SQ Class, it will be at the sole discretion of the event promoter/coordinator or affiliate to initiate a power class structure to accommodate the number of competitors. If in fact a power class designation is needed at an event for any specific Class with 20 or more competitors, the class structures must be 0 - 1000 watts and 1001 watts and above respectively. At any time or venue, an IASCA head judge retains the right to reclassify any competitor

Guys, There are some changes in the IASCA competition rulebook 2007 so i am going to paste the changes here where you guys can read. And also i will be putting it up in the IASCA Singapore website also. Please keep a lookout for it. Sasca Iasca Singapore

2007 IASCA Rules download page: http://www.iasca.com/rules_downloads/index.php Now it will be 2-seat judging from 2007 onwards for all classes except rookies. Well... for me, driver's seat is hard enough to tune already, not to mention about acceptable high standard also for front passenger seat tuning. Whew!!!.. this is gonna be a nightmare. That means gonna have a constant companion seating beside you whenever you tune, then ask, how about your side?.. vocal centre or not?.. soundstage wide enough for you or not? oh mine!!!... nightmare...
