JD Labs Aikido-Gainclone Audio Set-up
« on: Mar 25, 2012 at 06:42 PM »
Just want to share my starter set-up. It's quite simple but so far my ears are satisfied...SO FAR (hopefully it stays that way...I hate the itch)

Image Family


PSB Image


PSB Image B6


PSB Image C5


PSB Alpha B1


De Vant 46 MEL 150

Been a silent PDVD member for quite a while now. Thanks to all the members who have been patient in giving me their opinions. Finally nakabuo na din ng system.

April 6, 2012
And the family keeps growing... I remember a few weeks ago I was hoping I could resist the itch...well...

Something to make the B6 sing




Producing sweet music together




Connected with Sir Cal's legendary speaker wires




April 28, 2012
I have been told that the system is just as good as my weakest link...so I had to discipline myself and instead of getting another pair of speakers, I upgraded my source. It was a good advise and is a wise move...
This is where it all starts

The Source

Blue light means ready to sing

Listening to my CD Collections

NAD C545BEE


Voices through the NAD

Classy Piano Finish on the Remote

Remote in Piano Finish

May 27, 2012

Dito ako nawalan ng bilib. IMHO, as long as you continue to browse PDvd, the itch will never leave you.  ;D

Haha. DIY ko lang yun sir. I'm not even sure if I placed them right. I read kasi na pag small room better kung may mga absorbers. So far mukha naman nag-improve ang sound...I'm still trying to learn how to make bass traps ;D ;D

Thank you mga sir...most of my ideas nakuha ko lahat sa kakabasa dito sa forum.
@Sir Louie
Nakakinggit set-up mo. Halos pareho nga tayo ng room size, pero grabe naman ang set-up mo.
