Mediasonic Probox 3x2TB + 1x3TB Mediasonic Probox 4x2TB Dual DOCK USB 2.0+SATA Egreat S900 3D with OS/2

Yamaha Aventage A800 SAKURA 733 IMARFLEX AVR 2KVA (110V+220V)

Took me a while  for me to setup the Aventage since I had to make sure Imarflex AVR is there to protect both 110V and 220V equipment

To do list
a. Setup the Bose bookshelf to test the Aventage A800 -  sweet.
b. Setup the new home for my  disks with Mediasonic Probox 4-bay
c. Rename folders/files using  ExplorerXP, move between disks! (Animation, 720p, 1080p, BDMV)
d. get Center Speaker
e. get dipole surround speakers (rear)
f. learn to calibrate
g. get & setup PJ + screen

brader jim magkano nagastos sa sliding door?

[toys4geeks]

brader jim magkano nagastos sa sliding door?

yung dual sliding door, prefab lang from alabang home,

2 door (white MDF) - 3k each
varnish (parts + labor) 3K (skip and save, if you like white plain design)
railing and mechanism (3 meters + 4 hanging rail sets for 2 doors) = 4k

sliding handle w/ locks  (1 working, 1 faux) 4k total

nakatipid konti sa railing kasi i got the cheaper one depending sa load, my case -- MDF hallow sa loob, if you are not particular sa design, yung 2.10m x 1.00m is ok na marine ply door.
tip: dont use glossy kasi nakakabuwisit and reflection pag nakaupo ka elsewhere.
make sure the railing guide is installed para di pumapalagpag when being open or when moderate breeze hits the doors.

[praktikal]

Jim, ok ba performance ng S-733, anong speakers ang gamit mo? Matagal ko ng plano ang separate amp for karaoke kaso tamad ako gumala para mag audition.  tnx.

ok naman, i connect bose 321 bookshelf and with the mixing mike, maganda ang performance. pang karaoke session yan kaya bihira lang magamit, pero pag ginamit, ganda.

oks! temporarily, since bihira lang naman ako mag "exercise", ht setup plus passive mic mixer ang gamit ko and ok naman kaso lang mas ok na yung safe si 805. might try the 10" dai-chi speaker.

Hi

Just added B&W  HTM62 (center) and lovin' it Wanted rosewood but that Katy Perry concert knocked off mulah from my budget, so the deal  was a blessing -- pero deal was to good to pass up, thanks brother Felix.

While the HTM62 is a 6 series and so B&W 685 would be good FS match, I need your thoughts if Bowers & Wilkins 805 Studio Monitor match?


I've already heard the 805's perform and I liked it for both audio and concerts, and very easy on the eyes!

I plan to add this in my wish list for my next travel, baka meron sa COMPUSA

bakit nga ang mahal  dito, may natisod ako sa preowned pero check ko muna. there's always 685 pag di kaya budget.

Pare ibang level 8series, one of my client naka 804s and kinilabutan ako sa ganda, for music and movies panalo talaga. Gusto mo puntahan natin minsan?

Thanks for the offer, I have access to the B&W 80X since our prexy has one.  I heard it perform for a full night for both music and concert material and it was such a piece of engineering. Ayun, now I am on the prowl for a preowned lang (shocking ang MSRP pricing).

The challenge really is --- if one has one, i dont think they'd sell them EVER I have 3 months before my US trip so hanap mode ako ng preowned that i can afford. There's always the 6xx series naman to fall back on

Sir Jim parang mas ok ang CM series intead of the 6xx series. And definitely mas mura compared sa 80x series 

[toys4geeks]

may issue ba sa matching ng speakers sa CM series since i only have the 62?  saw this:
http://www.audiovideologic.com/b_w.php

For budget, i'll be hunting preowned lang coz i have my eye on a 2nd 3d display:) Since  my amp is < 100W  and fills the room enough, i just needed a much cleaner BS sa harap dahil si bose BS ang gamitin kong surrounds sa likod

Ay oo nga pla you already have the HTM62 center. Might not be timbre matched with the CM series.

COMPARISON CHART: USB 3.0 vs. USB 2.0 vs. eSATA

I was moving my boxes and i noticed this in the Mediasonic 4 bay that caught my eye:



here's some tips:
USB 2.0 is slow, so imagine filling up a 2TB USB enclosure. you can bypass by:

if its not sealed USB external disk, best to remove the disk from an USB 2.0 enclosure/dock and move to an eSATA or USB 3.0 dock

if you are buying get an enclosure with both USB and eSATA support, go for  enclosures that open and close with a mobile tray so you can remove the disk and skip the USB  2.0 bottleneck or use eSATA to write to a USB 2.0 enclosure

Nice addition sir! 

[juneaki]

ngayon lang ulit ako nakasilip dito, ganda pala ng setup mo sir.
