November 8Its been less than 2 years since I started with my first HTIB set uop, samsung HTIB plus Samsung 29" CRT, after a couple of months natalisod ko ang PDVD, that was early 08 I believe and the rest is history!
I remember the very first member that I PMd, that was sir Barrister, he seemed very accomodating, i askeed him super noob Qs and he was more than happy to reply.
Maraming salamat sayo sir!
I started my "separates" HT set up Mid 2008, my GF gifted me a Pana 42pv70, then added some wharfes crystal and DQ sub c/o Reynold.
Then May 2009, sumama ako sa EB kila sir Mark, ayan na, dito nagsimula ang lahat! Heard the A-audio Proac BS clones, I immediately took 1, then the ff. EB the Tritower naman, I immediately took a set! Medyo matagal bago nabuo ang HT set up, palit ng sub, palit ng rears. But now I can say, kumpleto na sila. Wala ng wish for the HT.
Then came the Sakura thread.
I've been a musician since grade 3, little drummer boy. I may not have the words to explain kung ano yung kulang, ano yung maganda but I can tell if I like a song,music,track.
I ordered a Sakura from Anthony ( 80% ng set up ko is A-audio! ) almost 2 weeks ago, at biglang bumilis ang pag buo ng audio set up! at heto tapos na sila, siguro ang kulang na lang better interconnects, pero so far happy na ako, pwede ako mag 2.0 for clarity and 2.1 for my Dream Theater fix.
Maraming salamat sa lahat ng tumulong at nag pa-inspire!I will enjoy what I currently have, siguro after 1 year na ang next na major upgrade ( minor= spikes, interconnects etc)
After a year, I will contact master Jojod for the aikido.
I love you all!
-Nagmamahal,
Francis aka anchit

This where the audio set up will be placed. Naki pose lang yung ibang mga mu-sosical instruments ( Kahon, Guitar at drumsticks)
Pagnabuo na to, im 99% sure na pahinga na ng matagal.

June 15 2009Here's the latest that I have:
A-audio "small" center and the down firing subwoofer:
A-audio center with Grill
A-audio Bookshelf. This will be the buidlding block of the "future" Audio set up, for now, I intend to use them as rear speakers for the HT:
My Egreat 31A with 1TB internal HDD and External Seagate 320GB HDD
Wala na ata space for expansion 
A-audio Tower Speaker, functioning also as BS speaker stand 
Heto na lang muna for now boys, again, thanks for all the help! Im surew naka HTIB pa rin ako ngayon kung hindi dahil sa mga kulam nyo hehehe

June 10 2009I let go of my Front Whartfedale Crystal Tower, WH-2 Rear and "tweaked" Center, DQ15 subwoofer. I was really not very serious of disposing them but a friend made an offer na reasonable naman and will enable me to get hold of the new gears that I've been eyeing.
Right now here's what I've got:Fronts: A-audio Tower Speakers
Center: A-audio "small" center speaker
Sub: "secret" sub
Rear: wala pa, I plan to get myself a WH-2 again, medyo overkill sa sala yung A-audio rears eh. And also I intend to use the original bookshelf clones para sa pure audio set up.
Amp: Yamaha 363- hmm doing a fine job, kahit na sya yung pinaka mura sa new line of Yamaha Amps.
DVD: Pioneer Upscaler
NMT: 31A with 1tb Internal HDD full of "ehems"
Accessories:Voltmeter from Master Jojo
Ipod Dock which I got for only 800pesos=)
500w Voltage regulator- badly need to upgrade to a servo type, at least 1000w avr, right now kasi si TV lang ang nakalagay dito at si Egreat. I wish I can find a good deal, ewan ko ba, dito ako nagt***pid pero alam ko its one of most important. Baka meron nagbebenta dyan ng less than 2k na 1000w avr.
Right now nasa Break In period pa silang lahat, switching between the Floor stane and the Bookshelf.
Future Plans:
Start my Audio Set up. I still need the ff:
Hybrid Tube Amp ni Master Jojo- I was really amazed when I went to his place and paired it to my Clones. Pero medyo kapos pa sa budget.
CD Player- Not sure if I'd get a bnew one or try to go to Pier.
Decent Interconnects.
Acquire rear speakers for the HT set up, oks na ako sa WH-2.
I'll post the pictures pag nahiram ko na ke gf yung DSLR ( gift ko yun sa kanya kasi yung tv ko gift nya sakin, pressure
)
Maraming salamat sa pangkukulam ng mga sumusunod:
1. Macdon - If he says its good, it is really good.=)
2. Iiinas - since pareho kameng nagsisimula sa audio, parang partnets in crime kame, though nauna syasakin tumalon and go hybrid, but i will definitely follow pards!
3. Sir streetsmart: Haaayyy iba pala talga epek pag nagsasasma ka sa EB at nakikita/naririnig mo ang mga magagandang gears! salamat sir for accomodating me sa place mo
4. Sila John E, gunblade etc. alam nyo na kung sino kayo hehehehe
Salamat mga sirs!!!!!!
