Marami ba kayo diyan sa Kuwait?

I'm in Dubai. I know there are some in Saudi.

Do you think we should expand this to Pinoydiophiles in the Gulf?

I think that's a good idea, maybe we can have a unified title (parang boxing) " Pinoydiophiles in the GCC ". this covers all GCC member countries and not limited to audio only, as well as HT. 8) 8)

Any second the motion? (parang botohan din sa senado). :D :D

Nice idea sir, I'm here in Oman and like sir rtsyrtsy my contact is sir botching in Saudi. Medyo busy lang ho sya ngayon dahil sa work. You can coordinate with him in your plans.

Listening Session - Dubai

Postby mtrs » Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:07 pm

I finally met some serious audiophiles in Dubai!

I was delighted to have been visited by Leo and Edgar last week for a night of listening session. It was such an exprience as it was the first time I met the gentlemen with serious taste for music. Thank you guys for coming and I hope to meet more of you in the near future.

Excuse my set-up, I know there isnt much to expect from them. Buti na lang masarap yung Pancit ni Misis--maybe that helped to make up for my set-up's short comings. hehehe!!

Welcome to WS, Dubai-diophiles!

Wow, Farley, you are such a prolific builder!

And here I am needing to change the battery in my Red Wine Audio modified Squeezebox 3 with just 2 solder points and I've managed put it off for 2 years! :lol:

I'm glad to see another Nelson Pass fan. I could only ever afford one of his products, the Aleph 5. It's a beautiful monster of an amp--looks a lot like the Borg in Star Trek. I've had great success mating it with a passive pre (sort of how Pass intended it to be given the design of the matching pre amp) as well as with a tubed, zero feedback pre-amp. If you would like exchange notes on how it sounded, feel free to send me a PM.

Leo,

So, what's your next step, bro?

Cheers to all!
