Galit kasi walang cd!  ;D
Naku, i think it will be a lot clearer kung ikaw ang nag picture nyan bro Donnel.  ;)

By the way, i've been following your posts dun sa kabila...gaganda ng mga shots mo!  ;D ;D ;D
I think dapat bumalik ka dito sa St Rose at mag seminar para sa mga tiga boondoks on how to use the kanyon... ::) ;D

Naku po..iyang dalawang kapit bahay mo diyan ang expert...ako'y isang bagito lamang sa larangan ng kodakan. ;D

Sige nga meet tayo next time at ng magtagpo ang Canyonian at Neeekonian!  ;)

Basta! Ang galing ng mga shots mo bro!
Magandang plano yan...maybe next time, konting HT, konting audio...the rest is kodakan. I'm sure that my neighbors will also enjoy it.  ;D
Wait, mahirap pala yang ganyang plano...puro kulam din aabutin natin diyan pag nagkataon. hehehe.  ::) ;D

Update Sept 17, 2009

Around the same time I got the Cayin tube cdp and MF tube buffers, I decided to play around with my existing interconnects.

And then, an offer to audition some ic's and speaker wires that are being unloaded by the same seller knocked at the same door of opportunity.

Well, I guess it was meant to be. I could use better interconnects since I still have a few gears that are linked together by standard rca's; the kind that gets bundled with cd players.

...a gallery of some of my existing and newly acquired ic's and wires. There will be more "mixing and matching" of cables to do over the next few weeks. I am specially interested in the power cord with the filter.

At the moment, the Tara Labs set of Prime 1000 speaker wire and RSC Reference Generation 2 interconnects are being tested with the Maggies and Cayin cdp. I can only say that the music got even better.

The other speaker wires and ic's are being tried with the MA RS1 set.

wooohoooo!  you're on a roll brader!



testing testing lang ng mga kebols braders...i am actually planning to do some measuring to see where the differences are. Mahirap din kasi tanggal kabit...wawa naman si sidekick...di ba brader Jim?  ;D ;D ;D

Busy busy busy an ang mama diyan.......mukhang nakulam ka instead ang friendly neighbor natin ah. hehehe

Balita ko eh punta na rin cya sa greenhills bro!
But tama ka, kasalanan mo 'tong kulam ko...ikaw nag introduce sa 'kin sa good neighbor eh.  ;D ;D ;D

Kidding aside, the timing of the offers just came in at the right moment kasi nga I planned on beefing up Maggie a bit...and the cdp was long overdue.  ;D

I think I'll need an extra x10d to try to daisy chain to the x10v3...so alam mo na who to call if you change your mind ha bro? hehehe. PM mo naman yung tweak sa Aikido. TIA

Thanks again bro Jim for...

this minor addition...one more badly needed storage box. My first My Book 1T.

As of this time, I have a dual bay (with only 1T installed) plus two more enclosures with 1T each (excluding this My Book), a hard disk dock servicing about 700G split into 4 disks and the egreat's internal 1T.

Unfortunately, wala akong kinalaman dyan sa mga DIY's at dinala lang yan dito sa kubs ko...hehehe.

Ewan ko nga ba...ang vagsik sa DIY ng mga neighbors ko dito na mga letter J's...Joey, Jim, Jake, Jopet... ;D
Pati sa kulam, vagsik din!  ;D ;D ;D
