Current system April 2016

August 2014 version of my home stereo with Sutherland PHD

I would like to share the stereo systems that I have assembled and enjoyed over the past decade.
This was 2006. My son was a one-year old.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/527760_4225568711402_964561909_n_zps6f3ceffb.jpg)
Had the Magnepan MG12 and Cambridge CDP (from accastil), AI Modulus 2B and Lovan racks (from Rene Rivo) and B&K Sonata amp (from noctilux). Bass traps and cable lifters from Adoy/Solidtubes.
By 2007, some changes have occurred.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/383566_4225699434670_301012576_n-2_zps75e43426.jpg)
Acquired a Vincent valve CDP (from jopet) and an Audio Research Classic 60 (from hein).
Decided to go analog in 2008 with the acquisition of a VPI Scout (from George M.)
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/16977_1329258825465_4832685_n-2_zps010c500a.jpg)
Then, the thrill of trying out new devices reigned over me.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/16977_1329258945468_1962610_n-2_zps25303fe0.jpg)
Got a new Audio Research SP16 (from Lito Gelano) and pair of rosewood Aurum Cantus V6F (from Audio Amplified). Used Anti-cable speaker wires (from Gerry Kaimo) and Xindak line conditioner.
Full frontal

This was what made up my home stereo system before I needed to dispose them as my family was preparing to migrate. Thank God I did! A few months after, our home in Cainta was severely damaged by Ondoy. Imagine what would have happened.

Welcome dench, nice set up, congrats

Hey bro! Glad you finally posted your audio chronicles here. Will look forward to more pictures and stories...
-
sir, how much did you got the rosewood Aurum Cantus V6F?
-
Very nice system. I'd stop looking for speakers kung may V6F nako. . .he he
-
Really nice set of gears you got there sir. Congrats!
-
Congrats on your awesome gears sir ^-^
More! ;D >:D
-
Good gears. Good audio journey. :)
-
Thank you mga brod. You also all have remarkable pieces of equipment.
I'll keep updating this thread. Still in the midst of audio recollection.
-
It was early 2006 when I started to build a Home Theather system. I got myself a Harman Kardon 235 and set of Infinity speakers from the JBL dealer in SM Megamall and a DALI Concept subwoofer from AA in Greenbelt.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/cf095a25-8456-440e-941f-98f9ed3ed595_zps15e1a4f4.jpg)
After about four months, I realized I was not really an HT fan and that I wanted better audio reproduction. Add the fact that I had amassed over a thousand audio CDs by this time. So I traded my Infinity speakers for a pair of Celestion 300 (with WS member Donlovejoy)
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/img_0_zps24da615e.jpeg)
Then traded the HK receiver for an integrated amplifier
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/musical-fidelity-a1_zpsda63b486.jpg)
Thank you audi for helping me remember about the MF amp :). This one could really get hot.
-
The MF amp did not last long with me as I was fascinated to go into tube amps. My first one was a Cayin MT-35
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/mt35_zps348b32ef.jpg)
Then I tried out these Filipino creations
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/af05tonoviolinpreampwsf0sn_zps4d659f84.jpg)
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/DSC08549.jpg)
An earlier version of Musika pre-amp (loaned by Esaudio/Atty Patrick)
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/DSC_01081_zpsd524dcba.jpg)
-
After more than 3 years of being away from the hobby, I got into it again in mid-2013. Had a good offer from a dealer and this equipment was what started it off.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/IMG_0179_zps3dbf0e14.jpg)
I wanted to focus on records so I looked for an analog source. This came along...
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/f87ed189-05d3-4f68-aceb-c92e65bf288b_zpsfad12d55.jpg)
Thorens TD126 MK 2 with an SME 3009 tonearm.
Was not satisfied with small Paradigm monitors. So decided to get one of my dream speakers.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/IMG_0184_zps2d718b40.jpg)(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/IMG_2125_zpsbe3f4a30.jpg)
And so I renewed my interest in the hobby with this bare setup
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/IMG_0417_zps64da99d7.jpg)
Soon, the reliable Secondo was replaced by this heavyweight.

I think Benesch pioneered the use of a carbon fibre tonearm.

Not wanting to replace its power tubes, I replaced the ARC CL-60 with this versatile amplifier (imported from singapore/edwin)
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/untitled-1.jpg)(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/untitled2.jpg)
Norwegian-made Electrocompaniet AW-100, dual mono class A amp, that matched very well with the AC V6F
Pinama ko kay Kris aka looks, na nagamit din ni doc Endrik :)

Hi Dennis,
I think I'm also part of your audio evolution........during your Pinas days pa!

Please share experience of your Wilson Benesch TT including main and back up cart of yours.

Syempre naman Lawrence. Miss na nga kita eh :) Tsaka yung mga meetings at kwentuhan natin sa MCS. Looking forward na mapasyalan kita someday soon, para marinig ko naman setup mo bro.
I'm so glad you have taken very good care of the Scout. Hope you still have some of the CDs. Did I also give you some cable lifters? Or ano pa ba napasa ko sa iyo? Just for recollection sake :)
And how could I forget this minimalist beauty? (Goldring 1.2 with the Rega arm and CA Aurum cart) Hindi ko lang nagamit ng matagal dahil aalis kami. Pinamana ko siya kay yucca.

Sige :) Siguro after I change my phono stage.

Have you decided if it is going to be the EE Minimax or the Sutherland PH3d?
-
as is ka na lang sa phono stage at add ka na lang ng SUT cinemags para sa low output cart mo sure maganda ;D ;D ;D, nine o clock volume detalye agad :D :D

Yup doc 6 months ko lang ata nagamit yung unit eh. That amp had plenty of power pero malambing tumunog. Hindi masakit sa pandinig.

Small but terrible (in a good way) monitors I have owned.

Epos M5 from Watt Hi Fi. Loved these speakers! Compact in size but gives you excellent imaging and robust bottom end. Sold it to bongskicool who used to sell LPs in Bangkal, Makati.

Yep, I still have all those CDs I got from you....honestly believe ako sa deep knowledge mo jazz genre. Plus when you helped me sourced from USA mga Patricia Barber and Tsuyoshi Yamamoto LPs ko.
VPI, cable lifters, cables, line conditioner, CDs, LPs etc......dami ka din pinamana sa akin.

-
Yes, si yucca is still very much into audio .... you should hear his set-up today.
Yes I know Alan, but I think he is now into gaming. The last time we talked lay low muna raw siya sa audio. Hope he can chime in for an update.
AlexG, if you know him, is also in our area.

Yes, Val and John colaborated and made a DIY Horn Speaker last year's Hifi Show.

Yes custom-ordered. Can't remember na the amplification used but surely all filipino diy, including the turn table from Mang Mandy.
Correct on John ..... am not on the picture....

Ang pogi..!
Binabate kita... ;D

The PHD is outstanding. Ang lupit!
Played Mayorga's The Missing Linc LP, first track pa lang ibang klase na. Super quiet background, excellent resolution and really liquid sonics. Little details and nuances of instruments more pronounced including the bass notes. Better channel separation and greater depth. Bigger yet refined sound.
Puyatan na naman ito. Seems like I have a whole new system altogether.
A look at the simple and very neat dual mono layout inside. Choice of parts and build quality are top-notch. The unit came with extra Gain cards to allow "card rolling". So easy to use it's like adding a memory card to boost RAM. The unit is heavy even without batteries, but with Energizers it scales 38 lbs.

Congratulations bro! Same character as the PH3D. It's like having a new system altogether. Enjoy! Gotta pack up on those D-size Energizers :)

Congrats on your new toy! Ang daming battery nyan. ;D

Maraming salamat Jen. Now know what you mean when you said "black" background. Good thing batteries are easy to source and $25/set could last for a year. I think still cheaper than electricity. Though mura kuryente dito :)

Actually bro, 2years nga tatagal. But if you can get rechargeables, much better
-
I will email Ron Sutherland to confirm on that. I heard he recommends to change batteries once a year (needed or not) to avoid leakages.

That's better :D ;)
-
I would assume that is the master of sound and music :) :), the word PHD sounds familiar for master and doctorate ;D ;D
-
Pwede Jun! Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Sound :) Mahusay talaga gawa nito.
One reason I opt for the unit is that Ron's company is devoted to building phono preamps. I think he doesn't make any other product types. And he personally answers after-sales issues. It also works the same way anywhere on the planet (being battery-powered) so pwede ko madala at magamit sa Pinas if ever without worrying about voltage conversions :)

The PHD is outstanding. Ang lupit!
Played Mayorga's The Missing Linc LP, first track pa lang ibang klase na. Super quiet background, excellent resolution and really liquid sonics. Little details and nuances of instruments more pronounced including the bass notes. Better channel separation and greater depth. Bigger yet refined sound.
Puyatan na naman ito. Seems like I have a whole new system altogether.
A look at the simple and very neat dual mono layout inside. Choice of parts and build quality are top-notch. The unit came with extra Gain cards to allow "card rolling". So easy to use it's like adding a memory card to boost RAM. The unit is heavy even without batteries, but with Energizers it scales 38 lbs.

More impressions to follow...
ganda.
surely, no hum issues with these phono stage....super quiet background.
12Vdc battery operation per channel (?)

Thank you Dana. I had a sense upgrading the phono stage would do my system well. So Im really grateful it paid off. The sound I'm getting now from my records is so musical and engaging.
Have to check on your question about battery operation

Nice! Batteries Included!
Handling micro details really needs clean power ..... Congrats and enjoy!

Lalim rin ng knowledge mo sa various music genre pards!!
Jazz records are not only highly enjoyable to listen to, they tend to hold or appreciate their dollar value as well overtime. So I'm constantly on the lookout for excellent condition ones.

Yep, that's true getting a very good album would appreciate its value overtime, just like buying a rolex it always increases it's value thru the years.

Bro, how did you measure your speaker placement? Mine's a square room. If I strictly follow the Cardas method (calculator), the speakers are like in the middle of the room. Thanks

Hey Jen, I just followed the Cardas technique. My room is 12 x 25 feet, rectangular shaped, so I guess kaya hindi nasa gitna.

Hey Jen, I just followed the Cardas technique. My room is 12 x 25 feet, rectangular shaped, so I guess kaya hindi nasa gitna.
Thanks bro!
My room is 188inches x 158inches...so converted to feet that's about 15.7 x 13.2 feet...Square-ish room...What do you suggest as speaker placement?

Thanks bro!

I think you can still use Cardas for measurements especially for the short wall. Then make some adjustments so it's not at the room's centre spot. If you can place speakers at least 2 feet away from the back wall, that would be nice. I've found out Harbeths like ample free space around it. Mine is about 4.5 feet from back wall, and 3 feet from sides.
-
Thanks bro! Will try that...however 4.5 feet from back wall seems to much space...space eater...if I cut the measurements into 2, i.e. 1.5ft from side walls and 2.25ft from back wall, will I still create a "golden triangle"?
-
I believe so pare :) And then see how it sounds. Sabi nga nila, moving speakers around the room is a free tweak that can have outstanding results.

Kris, they are Audes Maestro speakers. Made in Estonia.
I've previously heard a pair of Audes monitors and was impressed by its sound and value.
Very smooth tumunog, walang talas. Malamig sa tenga. Detailed but not clinical. Natural sounding din pero mas mahusay sa imaging yung Harbeth. Ganda ng bass!
Sound character is similar to a Vienna Acoustics and a Focal JM Lab.
-
Bud, I am assuming that's the Audes Maestro 146, am I right?
91db and 20kgs each! :D

-
Was it out-of-phase during that time dre? Big difference in sound when you corrected it na?
Yes, medyo magulo tunog nung baligtad. Yung left speaker kasi nailagay ko sa kanan and vice-versa hehe
After I switched, it became more coherent. The design of speakers has the tweeter and mid driver off-centre so dapat tama ang placement for better soundstage.

Toured North and SoCal in November. In between visiting family and theme parks, squeezed in few stops for vinyl.
I think this one, located in downtown LA, is the largest independent record store in the world. It was massive.

Dun ako nakabili sa mga shops malapit sa Sta Monica beach - ok din naman mura lang.
Bro subukan mo yung ECMs records ni Tord Gustavsen, Maryln Crispel, Marcin Wasilewski at Tomasz Stanko baka type mo.
Going to Manila next week, bisita ng relatives.
Pending sale na yung HarbethM30 ko sa CAM. Subukan ko namang mag floor standers. Nagaabang na :)

Mahirap talaga sumingit pag kasama family sa trip hehe. Ang style ko sunod sunuran ako kay misis sa kung ano ang pupuntahan, then towards end of day tsaka ko sasabihin na may dadaanan kami. Alam na niya yun at hindi na sya makahindi :)
We went to Amoeba after spending the entire day at Universal. I also went to Atomic Records in Burbank. Nice little vinyl shop where I got mint Bobby Enriquez LPs for $3 each. I listen to a lot of ECMs. Always good recordings. Magagaling yung artists na namention mo. Try mo rin Enrico Rava, Arild Andersen, Terje Rypdal, etc.
Nakita ko nga pending sale na M30, Congratulations sir Audie! Baka type mo yung Proac towers. Ganda yun!

Dear Ding,
Patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait.
With the coming of the spring and thawing of the snow, you will find me waiting at your doorsteps. Hear ye brother for now is not the time to travel. The roads are rendered perilous and slippery by the falling snow and would not allow for a safe passage of men and their machines.
When that fateful day arrives, I shall not want for anything but a brief demonstration of the awesome capabilities of the merry music making VR35s.
A request for a generous discount will then be asked and with your expected nod and seal of approval, the deal will be done. I shall be then grateful to you until eternity.
For how is a man benefited if he should gain a few pennies and he should lose an audiophile friend's wish to own a VR35s?
;D

Off from work today so I planned an "audio" day after more than a year. The wife was at work and kids were in school, perfect opportunity na gumala mag-isa.
Dito ako napadpad…

(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/IMG_2931_2_zps1b08fa6d.jpg)
Went to my "suki" dealer to pick up the new RCM as my Nitty Gritty has broken down. Was also looking forward to hearing the Acapellas which replaced JM Lab towers.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/dench7/IMG_2935_zpsb50d38ac.jpg)
I was impressed by the sound of these German horns. Sonics were much better than Avant Garde duos and trios I listened to before. They were being powered by Burmester amp hooked up to a Burmester digital source and Clearaudio TT. Phono was a Thoress.
The Acapellas provides outstanding music and SQ. Very entertaining!
Okay na sana yung visit. I got the RCM, some cleaning supplies and new ICs and all set to leave the showroom. Kaso bago ko umalis, biglang merong very appealing offer for a special VPI Prime bundle.
Hindi tuloy ako makatulog ngayon...

Lawrence Audio Violin? I heard the Cello
-
Hi Ding
Ano impressions mo sa Cello?
-
It was well built and the fit and finish exudes high end. It has ribbon tweeters whose sound I am very familiar with, very good on piano and other string instruments. Like my previous Accentus A101, I did not find the vocals up to par with the Vr 5 Anni. (this is one area where Vr5 compete successfully with other speakers- scale, palpability and finnese) so my standard is quite high.. and I am not saying the Cello is bad, most people will find Cello very good..
to my knowledge, some Lawrence Audio models use drivers made by Aurum Cantus and Mundorf caps (like AC), so there will be some similarity in sonic signature.
I heard on a day I was targeting top level speakers, so hard to stand out.
will you be able to home audition?
-
Salamat Ding! Okay sana home audition kaso walang dealer na malapit eh.
-
Hmmmm...BAGO NA NAMAN AH! :D
-
the Lawrence stuff are not cheap, if they share parts with Aurum Cantus - I will definitely give AC stuff a serious listen. A local audiophile has the AC Genesis which retails for US $ 26k, I know this guy can spend a lot more than that on speakers but is happily living with it.

Yes Ding those Lawrence creations (from Taiwan) are not cheap and have a lot of stiff competition in its price range from North American and European manufacturers.
If sound is similar to AC, then I might have to pass. Nothing negative or anything but only because I like to try a product I haven't owned before :)

TAD CR1 is also an excellent bookshelf 8)

Hmmm...daming bago ah!? :D

How would you compare the sound sa Wilson Benesch?

How would you compare the sound sa Wilson Benesch?
Pre,
The Benesch with Benz cart is more forward sounding, fuller bass, slightly rolled off highs, airy
The Prime with Dynavector cart (break-in stage) has more depth/layers, better overall balance, instruments sound tighter/more accurate
-
Still under 20 hours spinning the Prime. Mesmerizing sound amidst the summer heat. O0

Thank you Jen and Ding. Fantastic resolution and musicality

Verity is not known for good measurement, but they make musical speakers for sure. I would take a musical system over a system that measures well but sound sterile any day.. if musical and it measures good, that's a bonus.

Precisely
Coveted a Verity since I heard the Parsifals years ago. These use same midrange drivers.
I actually don't pay attention to measurements. Always going for sound and build quality.
The speakers are not so big but they are really heavy. Cabinetry is truly beautiful in person :)

Had Modwright LS100+Bryston 3BSST2 combo for a while but was replaced with Rega Elicit-R integrated. Sterile ang tunog ng combo against the warm but transparent sound ng Rega. Ganda ng synergy nito with Harbeth, Exposure 3010S2 at Soundstring cables (interconnect/speaker). Siguro yung Ikea stools( as speaker stands) played a great part sa synergy ;D
Acoustic treatment na lang kulang sa music room at good to go na.
Analog source ay for next year search naman.

Hi nolax!
The Titus are a tad on the 'bright' side. The extra tweeter on the back of each speaker results in a rich treble that exposes more details in upper frequencies. Balanced mid range. Definitely taut and hefty bass!
Overall an enjoyable Filipino creation. Bang for the buck.

It's getting better with more use. The shift to Cardas ICs have also helped. Happy with the Titus!
