i suggest there should be another thread for audio setup.... tulad ko kasi... hindi fan ng HT... audio lang ako... sana magkaroon....

I think you should PM the moderators for these so that there is a dedicated Child Board for audio set-ups.

I think combined na dito sa HT Gallery ang Audio and HT set up. Madaming members dito na audio set up lang and they have their own thread ;)

Sa tingin ko mas maganda ang separate na Child Board para sa audio set-up para lahat ng threads ay doon lang nakatutok. Iyung HT Picture Gallery mixed iyung threads, mayroon pang HT at mayroon pang audio. Kung papansinin natin ng maigi hindi akma ang audio set-up sa HT Picture Gallery.

Ndi ba naiinitan yung cdp sa ibabaw ng Hybrid mo sir? From what I know, that VK tends to run "hot".

Also, you might want to try moving the speakers around, corner loaded and behind a wall will more often than not, bring out boomy bass and unwanted reflections, thus - degrading the sq.

BTW - ndi nga hampas lupa, those are nice gears you have sir.

Cheers. :)

wow thanks sa warm welcums mga sirs.

wala nga din ako nakita galery for 'AUDIO setup only'.  A separate board would be nice.

@ sir Courage --  comparing to most of the setup posted here in HT Gallery. hampas lupa lang po ito.  ;D

@ meat_eater - brother so far base sa observation ko, ndi naman sya ganun naiinitan.  Lagi pa ako may tutok na electric fan.  I only use them during weekends, 2-3hours running time the most bec the wife gets annoyed easily  ;D, and volume never passed 10 o'clock ( not sure kung makakasama sa amp to, whachuthink? ).
  Part of my project is to get a decent audio or a/v rack with separate compartments para ndi sila patong patong.
With regards to the position of the speakers, i am still experimenting on that. Maliit lang kasi ung room ko eh.  I think oversize nga tong mga speakers na to and amp para sa room. Pero ok lang, at least I have enough headroom if I want to bring down the hawzzzzz.

@sientobente --  sir vk2100 ung integrated amp, ung cdp Denon DCD500ae - nabili ko kay dj_raff.
speakers - A.Audio genesis.

i cannot give that much review in terms of sq coz i dont have that much exposure yet.
they sound good to my ears.

so far ang naexperiment ko palang eh, comparison ng  DVD player ( LG )  with an external Fiio D3 DAC  vs this DENON dcd500ae.     The denon plus amp setup is the winner for my ears. Sarap, parang may nag shoshow sa harap ko eh.

I will try another DAC, this time a usb dac for my laptop and will compare.

The experimenting part (in general) is the most agonizing, expensive, anoying and ultimately in the end, the most rewarding part of the audio journey.

Good luck sa setup and for sure, me future hakot ka nian since asa PDVD ka :D

Nice, simple set-up.

Just a comment, try to pull out as much as you can the speakers away on the wall. This will give you better, non boomy bass. It will also improve your imaging ( the placing of the singer and instruments in your listening space).

Since you play a musical instrument, you could use it as a guide on how your system should sound, say playing a guitar tune on your system.

thank you sir.  nakow idol ko yang setup ni sir Louie. di ko naman kaya ganyan, hehe. pag nanalo ako sa lotto siguro. 

sa ngayon, sa mga kawayang kaharap ko dito sa Pdvd, bubwit lang po itong setup ko.   :D


ang lupit master joe congrats hehe jan na pala yung CDP mo, di ba mas ok na sa side na lang instead na nakapatong sa tube ? baka maginit. aabangan ko sunod na upgrade mo TL.  ;)

oo master 'sniffer ' jon, binago this weekend, pinagtabi ko, baka madali buhay nung cdp mapalitan agad. used pa naman na.   also did some experiments in positioning the speakers.  :D  voila! indeed may improvement!
pero ganun pa din, i'm still itching to buy more... nagpipigil lang  :D, iwas classified ads muna, basa basa muna ko.   :D

salamat sa tip sir Edwin. yup i did some position adjustments sa speakers and indeed there is an improvement.  and yes and sarap sabayan sa pag guitar, lalo na pag mga clean tone blues or jazz ang togs.  ^-^

Now the placement of the speakers are a lot better ;).

Another suggestion you might consider, try getting a line conditioner.
Title: Re: my 'hampas lupa set up
Post by: Gino on Aug 01, 2013 at 10:34 AM
Have you compared using the Denon Cd player directly on the amp rather than passing through the Fiio dac? I think the Denon has a better sounding dac. If you are using the Fiio because it has more gain then a good quality preamp will do a better job.

Research kung may phone remote app for Foobar. iTunes has remote apps for Android and iOS. It is a convenient way of managing music. I use an iphone for my system.

yes sir, placement alone can make a difference. salamat sa mga advices dito.  Line conditioner, sige pagaaralan ko yan.

Thanks for th inputs sir Gino.  I did some experimenting before, I would agree that the Denon CDP alone with its build in DAC is pretty good enough ( at least to my inexperienced ears). Matter of preference lang siguro, kasi when I use the FiiO, to my ears, naging mas OK. Mas detailed ng konti. Konting konti lang sa palagay ko.  hehe.

I remember searching for a remote APP. I think meron nga for Foobar pero thru wireless internet connectivity. wala ako wifi ngayon sa house.
Title: Re: my 'hampas lupa set up
Post by: Gino on Aug 02, 2013 at 07:42 AM
I am wrong then. Your ears is all that matters. You have every reason to use the Fiio DAC. Good job.

Post by: ponky26 on Feb 13, 2015 at 03:14 AM
mga bossing, am thinking of downgrading to a smaller speaker and amp.

maliit kasi talaga ung room ko as you can see.

and I already saved some dough for putting acoustic panels para mas ok sounds.

ano ba ma suggest nyo ?  ung pang mahirap lang. pang tulad ko na 150/day nagbabaon.   ;D

20watter ? then how about speakers?

I was looking at some small amps made by Qinpu, Nobsounds and Gemtune in Amazon. Not sure how good these manufacturers are.


Title: Re: my 'hampas lupa set up
Post by: Nelson de Leon on Feb 13, 2015 at 08:02 PM
Baka hindi mo ma-achieve ang ganyan sound with small speakers and amp.
Title: Re: my 'hampas lupa set up
Post by: Gino on Feb 13, 2015 at 09:23 PM
You build one around the other. Either choose your speakers and then find the amp that sounds best with it or choose you amp and find speakers that sound best with it.

Watts don't mean much when it comes to audio. But you will have more speakers to choose if you have a strong amp.
