Different view of my room. I'm using Primacoustic panels and acoustic hedges from the Foam Factory.

Not wanting to replace its power tubes, I replaced the ARC CL-60 with this versatile amplifier (imported from singapore/edwin)

Norwegian-made Electrocompaniet AW-100, dual mono class A amp, that matched very well with the AC V6F

Pinama ko kay Kris aka looks, na nagamit din ni doc Endrik :)

Regards pare!

Syempre naman Lawrence. Miss na nga kita eh :) Tsaka yung mga meetings at kwentuhan natin sa MCS. Looking forward na mapasyalan kita someday soon, para marinig ko naman setup mo bro.

I'm so glad you have taken very good care of the Scout. Hope you still have some of the CDs. Did I also give you some cable lifters? Or ano pa ba napasa ko sa iyo? Just for recollection sake :)

And how could I forget this minimalist beauty? (Goldring 1.2 with the Rega arm and CA Aurum cart) Hindi ko lang nagamit ng matagal dahil aalis kami. Pinamana ko siya kay yucca.


I hope you're doing well bro!

Yup doc 6 months ko lang ata nagamit yung unit eh. That amp had plenty of power pero malambing tumunog. Hindi masakit sa pandinig.

Small but terrible (in a good way) monitors I have owned.

Acoustic Energy EVO 1 and M&K Bookshelf 75 courtesy of Henry/pinoy_usa8. Later went to Donlovejoy.



Epos M5 from Watt Hi Fi. Loved these speakers! Compact in size but gives you excellent imaging and robust bottom end. Sold it to bongskicool who used to sell LPs in Bangkal, Makati.

Yep, I still have all those CDs I got from you....honestly believe ako sa deep knowledge mo jazz genre. Plus when you helped me sourced from USA mga Patricia Barber and Tsuyoshi Yamamoto LPs ko.

VPI, cable lifters, cables, line conditioner, CDs, LPs etc......dami ka din pinamana sa akin.
