It really has to start with a room :)
Welcome sir, congrats and more to come! ;)
-
Wow ganda ng room, wish ko lang may ganito ako space. I had the impression na maliit lang room reading your post sa AN thread hindi pala.
Ganda rin ng 2A3 SET amp, may copyrights ba sir? Pwede copyahin yung kulay :)
-
Long overdue. :D
Sawakas! Welcome to the gallery. Lusubin na ito!
:P

ganda po.... :o :o sir yung amp ilan watts ^-^ >:D >:D...

C O N G R A T S !
More gears to come!!!

3 watts per channel siya.

Thanks for the correction Hyperaudio.

nice and clean setup sir! :)

Congratulations!
-
i'm in love with your amp! sleek sexy looking and very inviting!
if it were a girl, i might just offer an indecent proposal! >:D
cheers and welcome to the gallery chief!
-
It was the same feeling I had when I saw it Wiredstate.com. A few days later I pm'd Rene.
-
Nice Room & Gears, there's a bit of BALI accent w/ the room color & the wooden blinds ;)
-
The blinds diffuse sound quite well.
-
Nice clean set up.. Congrats.. Enjoy :)
-
Very nice cozy room Gino, pair it with cozy music and you have a winner. Congrats....
Teka, meron akong 14ft. interonnect na gawa ni Cal... Baka gusto mo kasi ilipat yung amp sa ilalim ng tv para mailapit mo yung table sa listening chair mo... Trying to help out lang naman. Hehehe
-
I control the Mac with my iPhone. No need.
-
ganda ng room and set-up, malamig sa mata! Sarap siguro pakinggan ni stacey kent,nora jones at eva cassidy dyan!
-
You are right. Those singers are very intimate and their presence immediate. Such genre can easily expose system weaknesses. The Fostex's banana pulp paper cones handle these passages with the delicacy they require.
-
nice room & setup sir...listening to vocal jazz on a rainy day(like today) sa room mo must be a very relaxing experience ;)

sir Gino, yung mga alnico speakers ko pwede kaya i drive ng 3.5w na amp... ;D
-
sarap mag audio session dyan tapos maulan ng konti hayyy... ;D ;D ang linis kasi ng set up >:D >:D
-
Rene recommends 91db sensitivity and up. But i think higher is better. Mine are 94db. I tried the Epos Epic 2 and it strained at realistic sound levels. At low levels it sounded fantastic. But definitely bitin.
-
Good morning Pinoydvd! One week na babad amp ko. Sarap magkape at makinig on this lazy Saturday. I have new material so it is going to be a great day.
-
sana maka pasyal dyan sir.... >:D >:D
-
PM ka lang. I am at Morato Ave, QC.

No pain no gain. Kinuha ko amp kay Hyperaudio bumabagyo QC and Mandaluyong. Pag-uwi ko stuck sa auto yung amp kasi umuulan. Di ko mababa. Then after an hour tumigil. Ayun umpisa na ng late nights.

Very nice room and set-up! You're very lucky to have a dedicated music room :)
-
Is the amarra a big improvement over iTunes?
-
Very much. Even on a modest t-amp or in-ear monitors the difference is very obvious. You gain air, detail, and punch. I bought Bitperfect for iTunes but Amarra still smoked it.
A Version of Amarra comes free with some models of dacs. Consult their website.
-
sarap naman dyan sir parang hinihila ka n makinig ng music eh :) :)
-
Kanina after my run kinig ako while having home brewed coffee.
Bukang buka tenga ko. Sarap.
-
The room looks really relaxing! Nice set-up!
-
what version of amarra did you get sir?
-
Congrats very relaxing room ....wish i could have one someday
-
I have Amarra 2.3.
-
Very nice Dedicated Audio Room you have here sir..
-
Coming from you, I am flattered. Thanks. I do like wooden flooring but this lower room gets a film of water when Ondoy level storms strike. So it is cement aggregate for now. Is there water proof wooden flooring? Or should I use faux wood? Yours is wood right?

Mine is engineered laminated flooring sir.. Hopefully water will not be spilt on it as to avoid warping..
-
Very nice and clean dedicated audio set-up. May sub-out ba yung tube amp mo?
-
Walang sub out. Parallel ako from speaker terminals of speaker to the speaker level input terminals of the active sub.
-
Di kaya masama yan sa amplifier mo? :)
-
Nope. Mataas naman ang input impedance ng sub speaker level inputs. Halos di mararamdaman ng tube amp.
-
Nice set-up and a very inviting dedicated room. For sure Rene's amp is a good match for the Fostex. This set-up is very lovely and intimate with vocals.
It seems you are not a big believer of cables. Another nice upgrade has something to do with power.
Line conditioner and linear power supply (if this is posibble with the mac you are using) comes into mind.
Happy listening!
-
I do not dismiss their contribution. I just put my money where it gives me a minimum level of satisfaction.

And for that I salute you, for in this hobby it is hard to be practical... ^-^
-
Thanks, timber75. Welcome to my room.
-
sir Gino, pag napasyal ka sa South PM mo ko... just want to try my speakers to your set up i pahiram ko sa yo kaya lang mga luma yun vintage ^-^ ^-^ >:D >:D
-
kung maganda sa 2a3 na amp...
-
And for that I salute you, for in this hobby it is hard to be practical... ^-^
hmmm... :P
naiimagine kong naka red ferrari si Gino... nice! ;)
-
layo pala sir.... cige pag my time... ;D ;D
is it open to noobs as well? :) 'makapal mukha audio noobs' :-X
-
Tsnad, your plan is perfect. I want to hear my amp drive larger and efficient speakers. What speakers do you have?
-
Ygpm...

I bought these Fostex FT17 super tweeters from ebay.uk. I am just waiting for the seller's shipping cost and invoice. These tweeters are perfect for my Fostex FE167E. I like the custom aluminum housing, built-in L-pad, 3 toggles/choices for the crossover, and sexy stands. There should be no problem integrating this.

Sexy pair of tweets Gino! Congrats! How much?
-
$349 excluding shipping. This can be had cheaper but this set comes with all the components I need plus a sexy housing.
-
Very cozy room Gino. Purpose built to forget about time and enjoy the music. Hope you will write an extensive review on your super tweets. Been interested in super tweets for quite sometime now since I heard a Townshend equipped Vienna Acoustics monitor.
-
It is very relaxing. I will post my listening impressions in 3-4 week's time.
-
Is this the same room that you will upgrade with a bigger sub? Based on the size a fast and agile 10" would be enough
-
This is the room.
-
Wow. Nice FRs! Ganda!
-
everytime na nakikita ko talaga room mo, narerelax ako at malamang sarap ng tulog ko nyan habang nakikinig ng music. Layo sa stress ng buhay.
-
Sarap magkape dito after my morning run. Bukang buka ang tenga ko. In between work, kinig ako to decompress.
-
haaaayyy...sarap nyan!
-
Hindi ko alam kung snail mail pinadala yung mga tweeters. Sabi niya website said 5 days. Kung ganoon, baka EMS Pasay ang bagsak nito. So I might get them early. I will know by this week. If no notice, then snail mail siya.
-
Nice tweeter sir Gino... btw wala ka way sa south. ^-^
-
I have a way to the south but I don't have a reason to go there. I also do not want to transport my amp and risk testing old speakers. A lot can go wrong.
-
Ok.... no problemo.. ygpm.

I installed a pair of Allington Audio Fostex FT17H super tweeters. Selectable 15, 17, 20 khz @ 6db slope. L-pad for gain adjustment. I also had to redo speaker toe in. They intersect a foot in front of my head. I have a 60 degree listening layout. Imaging greatly improved and the super tweeters integrated nicely.
Offhand, all I've read about their effects are true. They not only extend the highs but contributes psychoacoustically to music immediacy from top to bottom. I've dialled out sibilance and am now enjoying as I wait for for burn in changes if there are any.
-
Nice ganda siguro ng SQ nyan. ;)
-
pogi ng super tweeters mo sir gino!
-
panalo super tweeters! congrats :)
-
Heto, lubog na ang sofa ko. Literally he he. I am having my carpenter Jorge refoam and reskin.
-
Libog?? Hehe nakaka yung speakers hehe!
Oh my i wonder how it sounds now!!! Wowow!!..whhee!!
Ive been thinking of setting up a system inspired from the red room but ill finish mine first hehe!
Ganda siguro niyan tweeted na :D >:D
-
Oops, sorry I meant to say "lubog". Nagspell check ang phone ko he he.
Yung effect ng super tweets from the last time you heard my system is very subtle. Hindi siya overtly nadagdagan ng kalansing as people normally expect. I tuned it best I could to fill in the very little gaps. Halong psychoacoustics ang nangyari. Biglang nagka presence ang mga elements. And hindi lang basta sa highs. For example, a snare drum will have a bit of top end bite. Yung kick drum may maliliit na huni maybe from coupling with its metal housing. Think of a bat's ecolocation. They use high frequency sound to find their way. Ganun ang effect I guess. Nadadama mo ang object without consciously hearing it.
-

Kung ano ba ang word na madalas gamitin, yun ba ang pinipili ng T9 or predictive text? ;D

Nabuko ako tuloy he he he. Nakakainis yan pag mag iMessage ako sa client.

Sounds like it is better that way if it is felt more than heard. Sounds like it gave more realism? Yes if i und, it gave the room extra air, something not heard but gave way to sound to... Etc etc etc haha! Basta i feeel you! 8) ^-^
-
Ha ha ha. Ganun din with a sub. The lower extensions add immediacy and realism.
-
Wow! Very nice set up sir Gino. Btw, my av rack & speakers stands were also made by Abe Carpentry (Kuya George). Ikaw pala yung nabanggit nya sakin last time na nag usap kami. Hehe! :-D
-
Small world. He passed by the house this afternoon to look at my sofa. He will be picking it up tomorrow for a makeover. He did mention the speaker stands he made for you and will bring pictures tomorrow. I said, that was exactly what I had in mind. I saw your stands before and had been doing research on whether such stands were made to tune the speakers. Right now my intention is to have my speakers at an ideal height for focus.
I take it you live near Kamuning too?

Small world nga. I still owe him a picture of my set up. Was not able to visit him eh due to a busy schedule. He's good at madali kausap. Dapat nga papagawa ulit ako sa kanya ng stands but I decided to get the Atacamas na lng. I'm from Kamias bro. :)
-
pm me the photos for him. Magagamit niya for portfolio. Ako magdadala.
He picked up the sofa yesterday. By late next week done na.
Pinag-aaralan ko pa the speaker height I need. Matapang imaging speakers ko. Konting galaw ng ulo laki effect. Dapat sakin barber's chair.
-
Beautiful set-up sir Gino! having a good time with your thread/photos, enjoyed it much. :)

Dapat sa iyo, electric chair para hidni gumagalaw pati ulo. ;D Experience ko with FR speakers, wide din ang stage niya pero once you hit the sweet spot, hindi ka na aalis.

my Mom will agree with the electric chair.

Bro Gino, eh mas maganda pala ang room at audio gears mo eh. Binola mo pa ako doon sa DIY speaker thread ;D eh yung room ko basement bodega na pilit lang i-convert into HT/music room at puro DIY pa gamit kasi wala pambili ;D
Sarap siguro mag-sound trip dyan. Tingin pa lang nakaka-enjoy na, papano na kaya sa personal?
-
Bro, I don't say things para lang may masabi. I mean what I say. If I have nothing good to say I don't say anything. I saw the research and hard work you put into your room and system. They are commendable. I believe that this hobby has many incremental stages that are very rewarding. I appreciate work in every stage because either I've been there, going there, or simply dream about being there.

-
Yes, I am about 5 blocks away. PM me for audition. I am near BPI Morato.
Objective DAC now playing. See first page.

Sir Gino nice and very neat set up. I have pm just an inquiry.
Enjoy your gears.
George
-
Very nice set up :)
-
Thanks guys!
-
Gino, browsed your thread again & cannot see the post I thought I had sent, maybe too many San Migs >:D
Like your room & the gears look great, really like the tweets, I take it they sound as good as they look.
-
Hi gino,
Newbee question here. How do you use your mac in your set up? I mean does it work as a nad player?
Thanks.
Lem
-
The mac plays lossless files. A digital to analog converter connects to the Mac's usb. The dac has rca jacks that go to the tube amp. My Mac is dual boot OS X and Windows. I use Foobar in Windows using the dac as the sound output device. I control it using my Android phone via wifi. I am not familiar with Nad.
On occasions, I use my usb dvd drive to play cds. The sound quality through the Mac and dac is comparable to very good commercial cd players. Better than the appliance store dvd players.
-
@Oldboyracer, Yes, it happens to me to. Glitches perhaps.
The Fostex main driver's highs are quite extended for a single driver. Been using these as is for 10 years. The supertweeters are very interesting. I tuned them to be as realistic as possible. While the metallic shimmers were enhanced, the surprise was the presence it created for every element of the music. "They are right there" are the comments I hear from those who listen.

Ganda talaga ng set up sir, simple looking yet elegante ang dating. How I wish I have that kind of music room. :)
-
I say this is one of the best "red" rooms I've ever seen.
-
Sir Gino ang ganda ng kulay :) ;), lalo na yun FR at super tweeter :)
-
Yung bookshelf gawa ni Anthony of A Audio 10 years ago. Yung supertweets bago. Nandyan ang magic ng imaging.
JojoD818, matino na ang red room na ito. Graduate nako dun he he.
-
Neat!
-
JojoD818, matino na ang red room na ito. Graduate nako dun he he.
Madami-dami na din ako napasok na red room during college days... some are even near your area... pero likewise, graduate na din - with flying colors pa hehehe...
+1 on the super tweets, makes a lot of difference.
-
Hi, san banda sa Kamuning yung abe carpentry? can you pm me price range how much you have it made? Thanks sa favor.
-
It's near Kamuning corner 11th Jamboree. 3 shops away from the car seat shop at the corner. Call Jorge 09192683677, 7884248.
-
Cleaned up the setup with 6 inch Analysis Plus Oval cables. The Objective DAC is now tucked behind the Sun Audio SV-2a3 Clone amp. Source is now the HP Mini 210. The HP and the Mac sound identical with the Objective DAC. I decided to liberate the Mac for my mobile computing.

Hi Gino,
Hope you & the family had a very merry Xmas, Have a great New Year. I'm getting this in early as we lost the phone & internet on Dec 11th (thanks Globe) they have a systems problem in our area & cannot find the cause. Had to buy a Tattoo mobile device which at best is useless, it's so slow I can't hold a connection, I surprised it's stayed on long enough for me to post.
BTW cannot comment on your photos, I can only download part of each one.
-
Season's greetings to you and your family. My siblings from abroad are in town so yes, still enjoying Christmas. We will be capping the year at Subic. Perhaps it is a happy new year by the time you red this.
-
Sir may napansin akong Schiit... ano yun?
-
Initially I used the Schiit Asgard as a preamp. Iyon kasi ang gamit ko na line driver sa t-amp. That sounded very good. Then I later I noticed that the 2a3 amp had a very high gain. The gain knob did a good job with a lot of headroom. So I removed the Schiit Asgard from the system.
Signal chain now:
Netbook--->ODAC--->2a3 amp--->speakers--->sub
-
mas simple na po pala ng audio setup ninyo, sir Gino :) maganda rin po ang mga pics ng room ninyo.
-
Salamat. Enjoy ako dito. My sanctuary. Kape. Rubik's cube. Music.
-
Very nice minimalist set-up!
-
On lazy Sunday mornings when Morato Ave is sleeping, solid ang kinig.

Oks sir salamat. Ang ganda talaga ng room mo. Calm and inviting ang dating :)
-
Kailangan talaga calm. Hypertensive ako he he. But managing it without meds by running, strict diet, and stress management.
-
Beautiful red room! Very neat and classy.
-
Thanks. I like having coffee and a listening session before work.

What a difference speaker orientation and height makes. More robust and stable bass images from a 10" sub. Overall imaging improved although in mini scale.

Salamat sa mga puri. Ang babait ninyo!
Interestingly the fostex FE167E sound better horizontal than vertical in this room. Doing so puts the port on the same horizontal plane as the drivers, lowers the speaker height, and moves the main speaker and supertweeters outward. Dunno which did what but it sounds very good. Solid drum kits.
Low bass is my remaining issue apart from the usual untreated room peaks. It is disappointing with EDM.

I simplified the set up. The tv has good car audio like imaging. The broken amp Mirage S8 runs passively from, believe it or not a T-amp.
Bass is same as my original audio system. I was really surprised with this.
