Yes..that was hilarious...the whole story began when Val played the excellent album from Clarity Records by Mary Stallings called 'Fine and Mellow' on LP. Previously we played Jazz at the Pawnshop, the JVC half speed version. Robert, who seems to be NOT a fan of the 'pawnshop' album, was raving about the sonics of the Mary Stallings album while it was playing...then came the 'infamous line' that burst out like thunder in the air: " O, di ba mas maganda sa PORKCHOP ito (the Mary Stallings LP) ?" I then heard someone (most probably halls) muttered: "alin ang porkchop LP dito?" And someone clarified, "hindi porkchop, PAWN-SHOP!!!"
My only comment then was: 'One cannot compare apples and oranges, let alone porkchops and pawnshops!
PORKCHOP
ha ha ha
i remember that discussion between robert and phillip.
what about yun discusiion between lin and val whether to boost the bass or not sa dbx equalizer.....

Noly...You just impressed me even more. Can you vist me today? For some tips?
Jadis,
I think you have a new student
That may be a sublime compliment, Jon.
BUT, I do not recall teaching anyone the art of 'snappy
reservation while in the process of falling
asleep'
the fully not-sleepy Voltraizer was beside him. In
the process, next in line tuloy si Volt.
I believe I should be a student of HALLS in this regard.
Estudyante na ko ni halls
Mr halls have masterd the art of snappy reservation.
.
i should have gotten that LP for two reasons but did not
One, he was sitted fronting the audiosetup while I was just in front of Val when the offer was made.
Two, he was half-asleep and his eyes closed when he made the verbal reservation to my surprise.
my gulay, i was two seconds late to react. "next in line na lang" tuloy.
Great setup you have there, mr audio star... the application of knowledge & experience in the field of car audio (setup) competition
to hifi home application did result in great-sounding sytem where equipment "disappear" not because of akyat-bahay gang
but because what we are hearing is music .the fact that you need only several minutes of critical listening before turning off that analytical part w the attention being shifted to the music and recording is a success in itself.
the choice of quality software (vinyl)selected is also a factor ,this i say,with respect to the recording and val's good musical taste. Another factor also is Vicente lim’s room acoustics
again,who says horn or one in big boxy cabinet have poor imaging, layering and soundstaging? wait ti'l you hear val's system.
.
As usual, Lin always listens 
my wife has been reminding me every night that sunday is "her" (mothers) day
