Smells like galing si master Paul sa inyo. Pinadinig mo siguro ang 48/344 reference ng mga studio reference highest resolution system mo. Graduate na ba bigla sa plaka?

Ay wala po ako niyan. Si Master Paul gusto nya ng best of both worlds, flagship analogue front end saka flagship digital front end. :)

Lalong gaganda ang highest-end audio setup. :)

The Kandy K2 handles low impedances and high current loads significantly better than the HK 980, based on respective spec sheet numbers. Harman window-dresses their 4 ohm performance by quoting an output measured with a looser distortion tolerance, and yet still falls short of the K2 spec. Of course actual measurement may deviate quite a bit from spec sheet numbers, but with a transformer rated at almost twice the capacity, my bets are on the K2.

The Onkyo A9755 is the most creative in the spec sheet department, as Onkyo measures with very wide tolerances (aka "Japanese Watts"). Despite this, independent measurements show that it still handles low impedance loads better than the two other amps in your list (the wonders of Class D efficiency). Its main downside being that it exhibits poor damping (compared to other amps in this price range, save for tube-based devices) because of the output filter implementation.

I'm just waiting for the LSi9s to become available (its with manoj as we speak) and I'll do another re-audition with the aforementioned amps

You're welcome, master. High level ka talaga at di pumapasa sayo ang Krell. ;)

I'm just wondering, nakakabit ba sa voltage regulator mo yung amps mo? If so, kung confident ka sa stability ng power feed sa area niyo, experiment mo patunogin with them hooked up directly sa power outlet (skip the AVR and/or line conditioners). Testing lang if it'd make a difference in your system. :)

The amps, receiver and subs are all directly connected sa AC outlet. All the rest are connected to a voltage regulator.

Hindi ata regulator ang next stop ni Master Paul. Mukhang emm Labs at dCS ang pinagpipilian for his digital front end. :)
Ay wala po ako niyan. Si Master Paul gusto nya ng best of both worlds, flagship analogue front end saka flagship digital front end. :)

Sa ngayon hanggang Musiland lang muna tayo. Pag yumaman na ako tulad mo idol, malamang bibili ako niyan. :D

Yung Plinius amp bagay sa LSIM a.. Mas gusto ko siya kaysa sa Roksan.

Mayaman ka na master, humble lang. :) Add ko na ang latest pictures ng gamit mo ha.

Eto ang na-spy na front end mo para sa headfi setup mo pa lang:


At eto ang bagong lagay mo na rack sa hifi system mo:


Killer front end gear para sa killer systems mo. :)

Oo naman Master, mas maganda tumunog yung Plinius SA-50 (though mas mahina). Entry level din kasi ng Roksan yun. The higher model Roksans sound better, though they may not sound as good as yung Plinius. :) Partida naka-handicap pa yun at Rotel Integrated Amp yung gamit natin as Preamp.

Invite ko si Master Nelson "King Midas II" de Leon sa dampa namin. Dahil whatever King Midas II touches turns into Goldmund.

Kailan yan master. Para madinig namin ang 48/384 high resolution reference ng mga studio master system mo? Enjoy makinig sa palasyo mo master. kaya lang, malungkot ako everytime i go home because 2 months ko na naman di pakikinggan ang system ko. Nagtutunog super compressed MP3 ang stereo ko.  ;D

Ayos! :)

Headfi pa lang yun...?! OMG!  :o  :o  :o

Ayoko nang makita pa ang headphones ni master Paul! Sigurado ako, a pair of grande EMs yun. Saan kaya siya nagpagawa ng bracket...?  :-X  :-X

You're welcome idol. Natututo lang ako senyo, at wala akong alam sa mga high end toys niyo.

Pero flagship level na talaga yan system mo. Ayaw lang siguro ni DMF kasi "push-puuuulll." ;)

Salamat sa food and drinks master, nakapag-buhay prinsipe na naman ako for one day sa palasyo mo. Buti pumapayag yung guard niyo na papasukin kaming mga nagtutulak ng kariton diyan sa rancho mo. :)

Thanks for accomodating us. Maski nahuli ako.  ;D Pero ibang level na ngayon ang system mo. If dati malaki ang image, ngayon tama ang size plus very focused na. Maraming magugulat ngayon compared sa dati. Talagang may Midas touch si master jedi guru Ivan. Wala na akong maisip pa to maximize your gears. Except Hiato na.   ;) It may not sound like the dyns that were actually known for pero i think yan talaga ang tunog dapat talaga ng dyns. The mids are perfect for me. And still, parang mas-effortless pa ngayon ang system mo.

Yep, ang ganda talaga nung mids nya. Near-analytical levels of detail, focus and placement na sa midrange. The low and high frequencies improved significantly din. Parang it's a different system altogether. :)

And, essentially 2 monoblocks in a single chassis? Did i hear that right...?  :D

Symmetrical dual mono siya, pero shared transformer. :)



Eto yung sinasabi ko na malaking integrated na higanteng dual-monoblock ang loob.



Ang ganda tumunog ng kapatid ng speakers ni Master Paul using that amp. Very very high current design (having trannies with capacities 7x the rated output per channel, asa ka pang mapa collapse mo ang rail nyan). Parang match made in heaven sa big Dyn speakers nung narinig ko. Very crisp, urgent and dynamic sound, saka expansive yung projected stage in both width and depth. I liked that system more than the Consequence and Evidence setups ng LIS, dahil siguro ok sakin yung character nung system. Narinig din ata ni Master Paul yun.

If you've heard this system blare, magtutunog ipis yung Naim + JBL LS na gustong gusto mo. ;) It delivers the same urgency, but with much more slam (though mas mahal na system din ito, at kasingbigat ng tao yang amp na yan dahil sa trannies at heatsinks... literal).

Kung nagtataka ka bakit hindi standard IEC yung kabitan ng power cord, the reason is because this amp can draw 26A from the outlet. ;) IEC is only rated upto 15A, sa alam ko.

Thanks for the positive feedbacks mga master. :D Hindi rin ako makapaniwala nung nagpalit ako ng speaker cables. Parang all of a sudden ibang speakers na ang pinapakinggan ko! :o

Ang ganda naman niyang monster amps na yan. Yup, narinig ko yung Dynaudio Sapphire set-up nung 2010 hi fi show. Same impression as yours. Very dynamic sounding siya.

Sir Obet, pasensiya na at di po tayo natutuloy before at madalas loaded yung weekends ko (lalo na ang Sat). Next time sana matuloy na. :)

Sabi sabi lang po nila yan hipo hipo at kanya kanya din po kasi ng preference sa hobby nato. Master Paul's current setup sounds closer to my preferred system character, which makes me like it more. Whether the sound would appeal to you or not would be a totally different thing, diba po?

@Stagea
dakilang manghihipo ka pala talaga  ;D
hipuan mo naman system ko  :D

Master Jamy,

Schedule na lang po natin sir. Next week siguro, kung libre kayo. Basta don't expect much, at gawa sa kalawanging lata lang ang eardrums ko. Basta may tunog, happy na ako.

Congrats sa bagong hakot, Master Paul. Ibang level na yan.

Recalibrate mo muna kung kaya. If not, baka pwede i-manual.

Tapos sunod na ang DAD, dCS or Merging Tech front end at DXD files. ;)
