I'm a photographer/videographer po pero tinatamad ako gumamit ng DSLR unless kelangan sa trabaho hehe.

Photography enthusiast ako. I have an Oly E-M5 pero tamad din ako minsan ang iPhone ang madalas kong gamitin.

Very nice stereo setup bro....

What a very good looking setup right there. I have been listening to 24bit rips of vinyl and they actually sound better than the cd. Vinyl has better mastering. You'll be getting hours of enjoyment for sure.

Congrats bro.

Gino · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 13, 2014 at 07:01 PM »

With Chuck Mangione under the needle that will really feel so good.

BongerDude · « **Reply #23 on:** Mar 13, 2014 at 07:31 PM »

Thank you sa mga nakapansin ke Chuck

Medyo masuwerte lang ako kasi mga pamana lang sakin ni erpats lahat ng LPs (marami pa yan) kasi collector sya dati. Pero matagal na rin na hindi ko sila napapakinggan. The last time we had a good/running condition turntable was late 80s pa.

Maiksing kwento lang, I'm blessed with a very supportive GF. Pati sa gastusan walang kaso sa kanya, sya pa nga nagcacanvass at bumibili minsan

One night she came home and surprised me with a Sinatra LP. Nung pinatugtog ko, narinig ko yung mild "popcorn" sound then Sinatra's voice... napaluha ako and the tears never stopped until the song finished. Naalala ko yung days na buhay pa father ko.

That's the main reason why i chose to get an analog setup first before digital. The sound brings back so many memories. Medyo emo... pero totoo

"Investment" iyang support ng GF. Magpanotaryo ka na ng Home Audio and HT prenup.
