it took me a little time to digest everything from last sunday's gig......
it was a very educational one for me getting pointers from mang robert's and mang enteng's discussion. it a delight listenning to the two discussing different points in val's system. young budding audiophile should find a way to have an audience with these seasoned audiophiles as you will learn so much more and keeping the guesswork to a minimum. i wish that i would see them again sometime soon. a whole day of audio lesson is not enough.
some of the topics taken up are finding the sweet spots in the existing layout, leaning forward and backward, exchanging sitting position. After they agreed on the exact position, they let me tried it out. Hala!!! ganyan pala ang dapat na tunog
What improvements can still be done such as speaker placements, exchanging the speaker wires, etc. were also taken up.
Of course, mang lin's input should not be a bit discounted. He has explained what val's individual drivers are capable of doing thus their selection as well as their integration and blending in the system.
Val was also discussing whats his concept in building his system which is better explained in previous posts.
There was also philip (or shall i say mang philip
) pointers on the software. When we A/Bed the le femme narrow and wide range lps, everybody agreed on the justified price diff between the two pressings. This as well as the A/B on carol kidd's album shows the differences in sonic qualities between different pressings of the same album. Now, i understand more how some would shed blood over an lp.
Of course i will not forget the funny incident when mang robert asked to play an lp which he said would give the porkchop lp a run for its money. In my mind
Alin kaya sa porkchop lps ang sinasabi nya... un mga live ones? kala ko audiophile disccussion eto. Finding out later that he was referring to
Jazz at the Pawnshop
This is just the right time as im already getting appreciative of these records
moving on....
what an amateur thinks of val system.... here's my take.....
Coffee Machine.... I think you need one val especially with those very delicious food you are serving. They made me feel sleepy afterwards. Ugaling baboy
setting the food aside, your system mids sound sweet para akong batang dinuduyan
For everybody's information, i was one of the first one to arrive as well as the last one to leave staying on the listenning all the time.....the system was playing at high spl..... no ear fatique at all. thanks to the ribbon tweets.
Ottoman..... for best listenning position... see pictures in above post. better if you can raise you feet up
secret ng BB.... as i pointed out earlier mang robert and mang enteng had a hard time figuring out the sweet spot..... little did they know that the best part is in the room beside the rcm room
makalat na ang mga plaka mo sa sahig..... im a pm away just incase you need storage space
free pickup
pickup only
lastly......
just by looking at it, val's system is very well planned else how would you justify putting in those montrous speakers in a very lovely room.
how well it sounds? no words can put justice. invite yourself over and listen and you'll know what i mean.
congratulations val, you know what you want and you got what you want.
Although i believe it is for your personal enjoyment, it reminded me of a movie line.....
build and they shall come
see you all on sunday
