ronjet · « **Reply #3 on:** Mar 05, 2006 at 12:48 PM »

great gears sir bote! i wonder how it sounds

galing niyo pa naman po magcalibrate

ricky · « **Reply #4 on:** Mar 05, 2006 at 12:55 PM »

Mang eddie bote naman nag post ka na

Ganda pala nung ginawa mo rack eh sukat na sukat sya ;)Sayang naman yung Q50 dvdplayer mo at hindi mo na ginagamit since yung htpc mo na ang connect mo sa pj mo

Mang eddie if i may suggest lang baka pwede mo ibaba yung denon mo para doon mo ilagay yung center speaker mo tapos yung mga dvd player mo ang iakyat mo sa place nun center speaker mo para mas malinaw yung vocals,kasya kaya?

Kimpoy hindi sa kanya yung hulk kung hindi sa one and only apo nya

Sadly ang libangan ngayon ni bote eh yung nasa left side ng photo, nakakuha kasi ng chat-mate kaya ayaw na ng ht

joke lang po

This is the guy who influenced me in getting the PJ and the ROTELS,ang ayaw lang nya eh yung JBL ko kasi maka B&W sya

see you this week bote para don sa laptop ko ha.

Hi KimPoy. Thanks. Sa EDIA ko nakuha yung rack. Tagal ko naghintay coz the tv was so big wala magfit na rack. I waited almost two years for one.

Hi Kt. Thanks

Hi Ronjet. Yun nga ang masama e. Like kung sino ang barber sya long hair. LOL. Di ko na makalikot ht ko e. But when it was calibrated, the B&W's were really worth every centavo. But it's really a personal choice. Like Ricky's ears, pang JBL talaga. I like warm sounding gears. Medyo matining for me ang JBL's. Although don't get me wrong. When I had a mobile disco business, I had all professional JBL speakers. Great gears really. Just not my taste. Thanks again.

Hi Ricky. Ready made yung rack ko fromn EDIA. Pwede suggestion mo but the problem is short and digital cable ko for sound to amp if I do it like what you said. And the cables would be hard to pass thru from under since no hole dun e.

Hi Bote!

Great set up! Congrats! May I ask sir what made you decide to go for the 603s2 instead of the bookshelf? Hard kasi to decide whether floorstander or 602s3 ang kunin ko. Para kasing mas clear ang vocals ng 602 pero mas
me bass naman ang 603

bote · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 05, 2006 at 10:52 PM »

Hi Dtug. You said it. That's the reason why I opted for the floorstander...a little more oommph than the bookshelf. And add to that...no more stands. He he he

Excuse me sir,but with the subwoofer on the lower right side.. how do you open the cabinet?

by the way... very neat set up.

peace!!!!

It's not easy Aldrin. It's one of those sacrifices we have to make just to be able to enjoy our passion. he he he

Nicely said bote,you hit the right word,its PASSION as for the lack of hole at the bottom shelf,dont worry i have a drill i can lend to you kaya lang sayang edia pa naman sobra mahal.

hi bote!!
nice set-up sir!! i bet with your expertise sa calibration, ang ganda ng pagkatono nyan. congrats sir!!

bote · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 06, 2006 at 09:35 AM »

Thanks Munskie. As I said hindi ko na nakakalikot e. From time to time I have to check it coz any movement or change in the place could cause change in calibration. Just like Ricky's place. We found out that it's way off since he added a few things. so we overhauled his calibrations.

MAtZTER · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 06, 2006 at 11:02 AM »

Mang Eddie, very nice setup! Ganda nga ng rack.

Pero I am just wondering kung paano yung center speaker pag nakababa yung PJ screen?

Actually bass trap yan, made to look like a cabinet, para disguise

nice one Bote

congrats sir!!!

kefq · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 06, 2006 at 06:34 PM »

Sir Bote,

Ganda panalo setup nyo! What Epson PJ are you using? Are you into HTPC?

bote · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 06, 2006 at 06:59 PM »

Hi Mat. Thanks. Pero no contest sa set up mo. He he he. Medyo muffled nga ang sound ng center but I calibrated it with the screen down so medyo compensated na rin.

Hi Kefq. Thanks dude. Epson EMP 30 lang but tell you what. It can give the 4:3 new epsons a run for their money. In my opinion (not coz it's what I have) it's what epson has best for HT in terms of color. Yes I am into htpc. Actually nakamoth ball na Q50 ko coz of it.

Thanks a lot Vhong Biker.

ronjet · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 01:32 AM »

hi ulit sir bote!

yup, i loved din sounds ng b&w's.

kahit entry level lang po ng b&w eh,ok na for me. di niyo naman sir problema pagdating sa pagcalibrate ng system niyo,anytime pwedeng pwede and kayo pa mismo. ;)dami niyo din natulungan sa pagcalibrate.pahabol lang po... napansin ko din yung pc(serves as HTPC) niyo po sa left side. gaano po kahaba yung cable papuntang FPJ niyo po?... natawa ako bigal dun sa sinabi ni sir ricky about sa pc..hehe.. ayaw na mag ht kasi nakahanap ng ka-chat.

bote · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 06:44 AM »

Hi Ronjet. Medyo mahaba and vga cable na nakahook sa FJ. Thanks. I am really glad I could share my experience with others. Truly amazing once your system is calibrated. Where do you live btw? Medyo nabawasan nga ht time ko. Because of the net and mostly because of the wife having much interest in viewing Korean soap operas. Ughhhh!!!

kefq · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 08:36 AM »

Sir Bote,

Was also able to audition the Epson EMP30 just before it was replaced by newer models (EMP S1). I remember it was my first cinematic experience and it was an awe seeing the EMP30 in action. Yes to me the EMP 30 can rival newer models of EPSON like the S3. Tama ba sir, EMP 30 comes with some sort of a lens filter that gives more detail and depth? Sir do you also have similar experience in calibrating CRT projectors?

bote · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 08:51 AM »

HI Kefq. Yes you are correct. That's why I couldn't upgrade this FJ (besides having no budget he he he). Are you referring to rear projection crt? If so I haven't done one yet.

kefq · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 09:20 AM »

Sir bote,

Front Projection CRT Projector (VPH 1271Q 3 gun). I had this for almost a year but can't seem
to find the time and the dedication cguro to properly converge it hehe. It would consume a day for a novice to converge it.
I have downloaded technical manuals and writings in avsforum on how to properly calibrate this crt. Currently using only s-video and the image is
decent already but I was able to get a bnc to vga cable a couple of weeks ago so I can connect it to
an HTPC. Max resolution of this CRT is 1600X1200 kaya sayang naman kung s-video lang.

Kato · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 09:37 AM »

Hi Bote,

Great rig!

I can only imagine how good you've set up your system

But, doesn't the big HT cabinet in between your B&W's affect the imaging and soundstage in terms of listening to music? Or I guess you've optimized it for HT purposes talaga?

BTW, off topic sir, would you happen to know of any "good" RPTV technician who can service at home?

Thanks!

bote · « **Reply #23 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 10:17 AM »

Hi Kato. I angled the front speakers about 15 degrees towards the center for more accurate imaging. Besides, my room is big enough to cover for the distance they are apart. Sorry I don't know any technicians for rptv. Thanks for the compliments.

Hi Kefq. I think the AVIA has some patterns for checking convergence for crt projectors.

HAHAHA!

Kaya nga di ako kumuha ng cable for our house. baka ito mangyari...barkada pa naman ni missis puro Korean soaps pinaguusapan.

kaya sinasamahan ako ni missis manood ng DVD, wala na kasi ibang pwede panoorin.

down side is, di ko alam ano nangyayari sa outside world

or about Rustom

Papaano po yung center speaker pag binaba na yung DA-LITE screen, natatakpan po ba yung center speaker

bote · « **Reply #29 on:** Mar 07, 2006 at 10:39 PM »

HI Pjohn. Yes it is. But no problem > As I said it's calibrated that way so it's compensated in a way.
