Author Topic: Another infected beginner.. A Poor man's HT (Read 10521 times)

Edblue · « **on:** Sep 19, 2013 at 12:31 PM »

Hello everyone,

Been a lurker for quite sometime and decided to share my low cost - beginner's HT (All budget entry level gears

, Just starting this hobby and true enough, it is an expensive one

)..

Must say how much I admire the setups I've seen here, Not a day goes by that I constantly look in this section of the forum and what an inspiration it is to see all the gears posted here every now and then. Makes me drool all the time

. Looking forward to learning more in PDVD..

Someday I wish to have such high-end gears, but for now I guess this will do..

Sorry for the crappy quality of the pictures, don't really know how to take good pictures..

.

My HT (All budget friendly - entry level stuff)

LG 42 LS3400 LED
Pioneer VSX 519
Mede8ter 500x with 1TB HDD
Western Digital 1.5TB for extra HDD
PS3 500GB superslim

Wharfedale:
Diamond 10.1
Crystal 30.5
WH-3 Center and Rear
SW150 Sub

Some Audio stuff:
iTouch 4g/Old iPod Video/ Rocoo-P
A couple of Headphones and IEMs
LD1+ Headphone amp with upgraded tubes and OPAMP
Musiland Monitor 01 DAC
Sony STR DE 185
Netbook running foobar

A very tiny room:

A single cinema seat with cupholder and foldout food tray.. (Got it from a resto that closed down.)

Low end audio setup using old computer stuff - Netbook > Musiland DAC > Sony Amp > Wharf 10.1:

Was into HP's a couple of months back:

Some Audio sources for HP's

Thanks for looking..

Looks like you are having fun. I like to hear a system in this room size. I've always wondered how to get good sound from a room this size.

Yes Sir Gino.. loads of fun

, nice to find out a lot of interesting things about audio and ht from reading through other members experiences.. Sound quality in this small room is not to good with high volume music, I'd probably need some sort of sound treatment or a bigger house

. Easy listening at low volumes seems to be ok. BTW, I like the way how your Music room looks.. very relaxing indeed.

Thanks, Sir jh@meeh ,Sir comet and Sir Panzimus

Parang kailangan na yata ng first dosage.

Good to hear that. What rc do you run? I started with electric buggies and on-road cars. Next DIY boats. Then 1/10 gas trucks. Recently was 450 size electric helicopters.

I like flying 4 channel electric Heli's.. cheaper and a lot easier to maintain/fly. Today's electric Heli's are a blast to fly since they have acrobatic 6 channel models that have abundant parts at competitive prices.. I have a 250 and 100, a couple of micro 3 channels. I also plan to jump to the 450 6-channel, but still kinda hesitant. Flying skills needs a lot more work. My orientation get a little off when it goes really fast then charges straight at you

... I also started with old school RC's like the Nissan King Cab and Wild Willy Jeep (But that was a long time ago

). All electric.. Glad to know that you enjoy RC's as well..

Gino · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 19, 2013 at 03:48 PM »

450 size will be easier to fly than a 250. Those small ones are like bees. Before I stopped I was doing inverted funnels and backwards. Upright i did funnels and backwards. Before I stopped I was doing ugly piro flips. Lately I just do the sim. That's where all progress begin.

Great thing about it I was sponsored by KY Models of copter X fame. I got free Copter X 450 parts as well as Black Angel. I was very talkative and helpful at rcgroups and they liked that. You can watch my videos on youtube. Account Gino Punsalan

That's great Sir Gino.. I'll will take a look at your videos. Maybe you could give me some pointers as well when I get my hands on a 450

Thank you Sir Nelson, I read about this in one of your old threads before

.. I purchased it from WATT HI-FI from Rex. I was looking for someone selling the SUPER PRO but got this instead. Really happy with it

the start of the journey isn't the most important...it is the experience gained all throughout this never ending journey that counts.

congratulations.
