Title: dom_08's room
Post by: dom_08 on Aug 15, 2015 at 02:09 PM
di pa yata ako nagpopost ng set-up ko dati. unfinished project pa. ang dami pang kailangang gawin, pero di ko na matiis, kaya kinabit ko na yung mga puwede ikabit. 

dropped my gears a year ago, retained my Celestion 9 and B&O ICE Power amp.  2013-2015 car audio ang pinagkaabalahan ko. sinubukan ko rin mag personal audio, nakuha ko na yung target ko, kaya pause muna yun. haha.

pero dahil sa mga makalason na mga kaibigan, nanumbalik at naisipan buoin ulit yung pangbahay ko,

here's my current set-up:

Measy M9 Bluray/HDD player (AudioPro Optical cable)
Marantz CD60 (Monster THX cable, coaxial)
Dell Venue 11 pro (iBasso DX90 in DAC mode, diy stereo cable)
Harman Kardon AVR635
SVS MTS & MCS (MBS are in storage until i get to set-up for front wides or rears) (StingerPro gauge16 cables x2, left over from car audio)

Nice! Eagerly waiting for your updates boss Dom!
Im not expecting any major upgrades anytime soon. Ang bigat nung speakers (literally and financially).  Hopefully ang next step is a good power amp, tapos yung harman magwowork as pre-amp. Then upgrade na lang ulit. Small steps na lang muna.

Right now di ko alam kung ikakabit ko yung bookshelf o hindi muna.  Basta ang next step is tv mount bracket for the av raxk, and a good tv. Not sure if i'll revive my LG LH70 or time to upgrade na. Most likely 47" para sakto lang dun sa av rack ko. Hehe

bro, anong amp ginamit mo para sa dynes ng car mo?
Title: Re: dom_08's room
Post by: dom_08 on Nov 08, 2015 at 01:48 PM
Magulo na yung kwarto ko ngayon, di ko pa rin nakakabitan ng rears. Tingin ko I'll end up with simple 5.1/5.2 system.  Upgrade itch para sa receiver, undecided if i get a hdmi capable receiver or upgrade na lang ng amp, then next time processor.


Currently testing the carver speakers i got from sir Hector (Synchro 01) supposedly for a friend. Surprsingly good and lively speakers.

Left of speaker: door
Bahind the tv: window

My room is not the ideal layout. Just collecting gears that I like, eventually i'll give it a separate home. With proper treatment and everything (hopefully soon, but highly doubt it).

Front L&R Toe-in and initial set-up.  eventually turned off the EQ, so Auto set-up was used to check phase and speaker distances, which is more or less correct.

matanda na yung tv na yun 42" LCD pa (LG LH70), nasa love electronics ngayon, wala raw mahanap replacement parts :(
may ported subwoofer ako sa ilalim ng kama ko, try lang ng sealed box for fun. linis wiring na rin. 

feeling ko babalik ako dun sa ported 12" ulit. 
nagpipigil pa sa subwoofer upgrade. TV/Projector muna. HAHA

slightly tempted sa OLED 55" ng LG. pero hintay pa onti, baka magmura pa. pero leaning towards projector na for next upgrade (and really really thick curtains), kahit yung 720p Marantz lang na binebenta sa Marketplace. hehe

chief kamusta yung headphone section nung DAC? :)
Headphone amp section is ok.  I think mas malakas yung DAC-01, ang hindi ko alam is kung pareho ba to ng DAC-01 na solid state ang gamit instead of the tube pre-amp.  But it sounds sweet and clean.  Generally, compared to the DX90 built in head-amp, it has wider soundstage but focus is more controlled, better lows, I think midbass is toned down a bit, more or less same midrange, but evidently extended highs.

Volume control is for head-amp only, rca analog out (both solid state and tube) are fixed. 

It has too much power for the AT MSR7
It can make my Beyerdynamic DT880pro 250ohms sing
But sadly, it is not enough for the AKG Q701, that headphone really likes my APPJ with headphone adapter.

Ok siya ngayon para sa PC ko, di ko talaga gusto yung synergy ng SVS bookshelf and B&O ICEPower amp, pero ngayon ang ganda na ng combination with the DAC, so mission accomplished.  Pero baka patingin ko next time, feeling ko may boost na nangyayari along the signal path, yung ibang album ok naman, pero may mga ilang album na never ko narinigan ng distortion, pero sa DAC na to, ang lakas ng distortion, both headphone and rca outs.

Congrats! I'm expecting more updates after the Avesco clearance sale!
isa na lang yung nakapila sa akin na upgrade, pero wala pa ako kolekta, so tiis tiis pa sa ngayon.
