-vintage or not
-tube or SS
-pop or audiophile music
-other preferences relevant to this hobby

sidewinder... 25usd binibigay sa akin...
Thanks accastil!bro, try to complete the "blue lights" and the "snow rose" series of CDs...very good vocals.
Santa Rosa for the win!! :)
I'm relatively new to this hobby. The few gears I can play with so far are a pair of Wharf diamond 9.4s and 9cs powered by a Yammy 440 for HT; BW 602s3 + Pioneer A-717 for audio. I'm open to a variety of music from contemporary to mainstream pop, rock, a bit of classical, Jpop, & Kpop. My latest CD purchase is the best audiophile voices III & I absolutely love it!
Happy listening!
...its replacement ive already hooked up just last night...a white thing that looks more like an abflector than a loudspeaker :)....the most recent pic ill post maybe on sunday.
Hi Sir Allan, musta na dami mo talaga nice speakers.thanks bassman...mine is the VA haynd signature model btw, local msrp is about 2x youve mentioned...had its tweeters different from the standard haydn models.
I'd already auditioned the Vienna Acoustics Grand Haydn here in Seoul kaya lang di ako nag enjoy kasi dinala agad ako nung sales rep sa room ng MBL (Speaker ni Bill Gates daw). Lintek yung MBL parang nuclear reactor pero pag tumunog grabe.
Pero ang galing ng Vienna saka yung tweets nya naka mount sa bass port! Selling price is 975US$.
Sir ano nanaman yan parang ghost speakers! I cant imagine how it will amaze its audience. pero Sir bilib na talaga ako sa mga recommend nyo na speakers.quasi-ribbon bro..sounds very different from any other boxed speakers...
By the way what is the difference between the two viennas?
Sir yung sonus nandyan pa pala sayo? Ok I'll ask my friend if interested sya kasi he's building pure audio setup.
Thanks alot Sir!
Aha different tech pala yan.yes, hear the MA gold signature bro....u might forget about the VAs after doing so :)
sayang yung sonus na miss ko, I havent heard the MA, auditioned ko nga sa weekends.
The viennas really impress me.
Sir accastil,of course you can do so...at any time convenient to you sir.
u really have a great taste in music, walang compromise, sana someday i can listen to your setup
;D ;D ;D
Sir, meron na naman sorpresa ah! lufet talaga!.. How's B&K and magnepan MG12 QR combi?different level..sky high bro :)
new stuff are the ff:Hi Accastil,
AT440ML cartridge
Hi Accastil,btw, im selling the ortofon om5e for 3t neg.
may local dealer ba nyan dito? ...... magkano kuha mo?
Devo
busog na busog siguro tumunog yung maggies w/ your powewr amp, great choice! mids are to die for especially on vocals...its busog3x bro..hehe. mids and highs are fantastic. the lows are enough kaya lang mjo mabagal kaya di siya for fast dance and/or rock music....excellent for slow disco music naman (pang showtime!)
yung SF nagdisappear na di ba?
sir Devo, i believe there is no local dealer for the AT440MLa. it was bought from the US...very cheap lang (around 90usd) but its a step above the stock ortofon of my debut 3 TT. the ortofon sounds more tonally neutal with better bass slam. the AT440MLa has more detail, air and openess. give it a few hours of break in period and it will get better tonal balance....initially it may sound a tad bright kc.thanks for the feedback Accastil,
Sir thanks for recommending Viennas really impress me how it performs and the workmanship. On the way na sya kaya lang waiting pa ako kasi walang piano black dito sa korea gusto ko sana rosewood kaya lang sayang yung $260 na additional kaya stand na lang kinuha......at least for me, they are the best BS speakers i could afford :)....u wont be sorry owning them. enjoy them for a loooooooong time.
Sacrifice muna yung SPL1200R for VA's.
Thanks Sir, yun pala would like to ask your recommended speaker wires and interconnect for VA-Rotel combo.ive used rotel separates about 2 yrs ago kaya lang di na nagpang abot with the VAs. anyway, im now using transparent and audioquest ICs. the speaker wires are ecosse2.3c. im keeping my VA haydns for good pre. its a very good substitute for the ribbon speakers that i would be using on the main system. the sound of the mg12 and the VA haydns doesnt seem to be far in terms of my personal sonic liking. my MA gold signature10 is still for sale and i hope to have the bigger full ribbons within the month. if youll have upgrade plans, try driving the VAs with unison research Unico integrated amp....for a bigger budget, try it with BnK or BAT or primaluna....by then youll enjoy what they are really capable of...my 2 thumbs up to VA haydns!!!
Really like sonus but when I auditioned BS from MA, VA, Dyna, B&W, Totem and PMC, ended up with Vienna coz it suits my Audio needs and budget. Saka in-analyze ko how speakers goes in and out in your lair;D
Thanks!
Ok thanks, try to find ecosse and audioquest here.anytime bro...u know my contact number, im just a txt away :)
Actually Sir,all BS that I have been auditioned are driven by Rotel Ra06 which is one of the reason why I choose VA.Sana Sir minsan I could join with your listening session to try B&K-VA combo.
Sir iba na ba yan? congrats sir!hi bassman,
Sir, bagong ayos ng listening room mo ah! at meron pa flowers.... 8) :ohi bro,
may nag-request ba sa mga flowers? ;D ;D ;D
hi bro,
its actually a different room. i have no choice, the bigger maggies needs bigger space to shine. the flowers are synthetic...hehe. jerry vale on the other hand sounds real :)
Really?.... ;D ;D ;D I do have flowers also but on top shelf the rack above the center speaker... maybe, I should have them relocated to more prominent location....heheheif the system sounds better with the flowers a bit out of view, leave them as is. the reason y ive put them straight into the listeners sight is because they make the music more alive...hehehe...joke,joke,joke!
wow! ganda naman ng TT mo bro..gracias pre.
congrats ;)
wala bang bago ulit?? :D :D :Dplaka muna siguro pre. im still trying to find out whats a better replacement for the xlps.

o ayan bro.....malakas ka sa akin e. :)
hi AJ,
the literature is true bro....it is not a subtle tweak.
highs - smoother, higher highs
mids - more open
lows - tighter, extended
clarity/resolution - nuances are brought more into the foreground. youll hear new things from the music.
air - expanded soundstage
ive replaced already 5 fuses(all input power supplies for cdp, linestage, power amps)....i need 8 more, and itll arrive by next month(for the monoblock amplification board stages).
these fuses came to get mind upon noticing the improvements due to power cables by the way.
no prob...if youve heard improvements from cords, wires, interconnects....you are in for a revelation with these fuse upgrades. they dont cost 35usd each for nothing :)
enjoy...
deym! ang mahal ng fuse na yan!fuse na lang ang kaya ko iupgrade these days bro.
35 x 8 = dami pera! ;D ;D ;D
fuse na lang ang kaya ko iupgrade these days bro.
contrary to what youve suspected...... la na pera. hehehe
