Since Anthony already has a modified Sakura tube amp, so a borrowed Dared MP5 would do for the shootout.

You can also entice anthony to possibly supply the Sakura amps and do the modifications to ease the process in both the purchase and the handling.
I think a modified Sakura tube amp would still be cheaper and a bit stronger than a Dared MP5, but the only thing to consider in a MP5 is its USB Burr Brown DAC - that is if you really need it.

Anthony already has a demo/EB room which he is currently fixing up - last i heard he might hold his b-day EB at the end of the month

hehe pag nag kataon dami trabaho ni anthony nyan

pwede nga buy na lang si anthony in bulk (amp + mod parts) tapos offer nya group buy ng modded sakura. compute na ng pricing master!

A modded Sakura tube amp would be in the vicinity of 6.5k-6.8k cguro......parang NMT

[anchit]

tinext ko si anthny regarding sa possibility na sya na mag source at mag mod, sabi nya " pwede!"

not bad considering the modded sakura sounded better than his fisher. an good entry-level price for those who want to venture into tubes.

modded sakura + proac clone... mmmm... (drooling a la Homer simpson)

Its still subjective - which is why we are hoping if it could be compared to a Dared MP5 or an AMX hybrid that would be close to its price.
Granted, a sub-10k price for a hybrid tube amp is hard to come by - which is why this possible shootout would be exciting

What I would like to know is the definite parts that would be included in the 3k modification - which parts would affect the SQ & which parts are solely for aesthetics.
Lastly, if a customer can stretch maybe 1-3k more on the mods - what else could be modified?

Baka mmya kaha nalang ang matira

[JojoD818]

this is going to be a great battle. don't forget to try the fisher which was the initial challenger.

This will be working blind without a definitive circuit analysis or a schematic at least. Suntok sa buwan sa tagalog so better wise up and study it first to make a more meaningful modification strategy.

+1 dito. iba pag nagsama si master at si diy_master. 

[JojoD818]

......and I'm sure the attendees would be honored if you could be part of this shootout to share your knowledge & expertise.

I would love to but this would make the budget conscious aficionados rather nervous especially with a lot of recommended changes in the amp.

On another note, it still bothers me if the stock Sakura beat the Fisher or was it the modded Sakura that did...

We are not worthy - hahahahaha.
Bring your aikido para isama na sa shootout

Not the stock Sakura but the modded one made him realize that it was better than his Fisher

[iiinas]

For the sake of science hahaha...
Can't do that, Aikido is a tube preamp, the shootout is about integrated hybrids...

What if I modify his Fisher? I once inherited a Fisher that served me well through grade school and late high school.  

[JojoD818]

yung hybrid gainclone na rin. hehehe 

gusto ko yan...

[macdon]

May magdadala kaya ng modded Sakura hybrid next month sa HiFi Show?  

[macdon]

yung hybrid gainclone na rin. hehehe 

Hahahaha - Teka, diba ginawan ka ni master jojod ng integrated hybrid - dalhin mo! 

[kulapong]

Schedule na ng shootout....  kelan ba?

basta dapat weekend ha...para masaya!..

saka baka meron dyan miniature t-amp...tutal nabubulsa naman....singit na natin yan...baka nga maganda...eh di mapag ipunan din....makapag sideline muna sa GH, bukas kotse


Sir Anthony.....where are you?

[reynold]

Hey Anthony,

care to share the exact model of the stock tubes of this amp, i'll ask my cousin ruel felix if he's familiar with the tubes and he might do some mods on this amp also when i get one 

...and if possible, can you list down also the stock components of this amp like caps, trany, etc para malaman nya kung anong tweaks ang gagawin nya sa sakua na 'to

TIA Master

[textmailbox]

Palagay ko kailangan talaga ng shoot-out, based on what i've read from Topic: Sakura Ampifiers For Sale

Marami talagang interesado dito.

[Schrodinger's cat]

Eto yung pics nung Sakura or Sakua sa Raon:








Eto naman yung posted pics sa pdvd marketplace:







Same make, different colors, and may tatak lang yung isa, probably isa lang siguro manufacturer nito. So meron din palang mga amps na katulad nung mga made-in-China products sa CDR King, generic yung pagkagawa tapos nilalagyan lang ng tatak ng iba't-ibang companies? In this case, tinatakan ng Sakura or Sakua.

[reynold]

Mas gusto ko na yung walang tatak na nakasulat

[oweidah]

siguro eto best answer >>>

rebranded ng sakura yan, halata naman dun sa sakua dba
Dami sa shenzhen nyan. BTW, boss anthony mas ok ba sya compare sa mga lm chips? since class ab sya?

Eto oh mas makatotohanan sa itsura pero mas nakakaaning yung presyo kung hindi iisipin ang mga kurakot sa tax
