Sana pati yung speakers and yung TT kinuha mo na rin, pati yung tube stash! :D

Aray! pang cdp lang bai at ipod ang fowers ko... :D
If ever I consider a TT, baka next year pa yan...and that's only if makakuha ng WAF and if another great deal presents itself.  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks bro Mon...actually, matagal na 'tong itch for a tube cdp brader...nagkataon lang na maganda yung deal and cyempre sayang if I miss the opportunity. Napasabay lang yung others because they all originated from the same seller.  ;D ;D ;D

Musta na dyan?


ayush lang brader alvin...  ;D

iba talaga pag-umulan dyan sa inyo ... bumabaha...  ::)  ::)  ::)

I also have to get a new 1Tera...no more space talaga...Uy, the cabinet on your PM sounds interesting. :D

yeah well but i guess you're right.  for the price of the cabinet, it seems better to get 3 more tbs!

Update Sept 13, 2009

I have been thinking about upgrading my cdp and thanks to a wonderful neighbor-seller, I finally got a chance to own this Cayin CDT17A with upgraded Mundorf caps and opamps. I'm so happy with it's performance. This is my very first tube cdp... ;D

After a week's test on the Esprit amp, well, I guess it was expected that I will be keeping it as it's 4 ohm rating makes my Maggies perform better. So now, it is officially an alvinh room resident.

To somehow insert an MF X10D between my ipod dock and Aikido preamp was also an itch for a while so I took the opportunity.

What i was not expecting was to get hold of an MF X10v3. Truly another great addition.

I am looking forward to try a set of some well reviewed ic's and cables...and some tubes for new flavor.

I'll resume the panel project after this unexpected route.




WhooaaaH! :o :o :o
Very nice CDP brader Alvs!!! 8) ;)
daming Hakot! hehehe:D ;D
Congrats!

Ey kabayang Art! Thanks ng marami. Nagkataon lang na nagsabay 'tong latest...the combo did a significant improvement in SQ. So, eto na 'to. Stand by muna ulit...enjoy muna ang gears.  ;D

At least, a few minor additions na lang siguro... :D

Thanks mga braders...first ko talaga 'tong tube cdp kaya happy po ako...at least nakatikim din ng lasa ng tubong player. hehehe.  ;D

Na-inspire akong mag shoot ng cdp per your request bro mike... :D
Actual pix...I give two thumbs up to the kind seller who took good care of this player.
I was the one pa who took the plastic off the face plate...ganun kaingat sa gamit yung seller.  ;D





I'm also very satisfied with the x10v3 and wireless dock pairing...


 ;D ;D ;D
