Phil, I was using my Olympus M5-OMD with the kits lens and a .45 wide adaptor. I can appreciate it's size, tamang tama lang kahit maghapong bitbit 8)

The pictures where you can see me were taken by my wife, she was using a Sanyo Xacti CG65


thanks ding. i'll run a search for that model and take a look.

Thanks for sharing Ding. Very nice and detailed report. Masarap basahin, :) . Malapit lang pala sa LA yan, I was in LA last May. Too bad I had to fly back home by May 14.

I googled it up, it has a nice review at 6moons. My MP64 has NOS dac as well, I think you will like it if you are playing high resolution files, it is well written that NOS DAC is better than upsampling DAC because it does not mess with the data anymore, therefore you get a less colored output.

welcome Doc, glad you liked the report. I took my time with the target rooms this time. I will usually take picture pagkapasok then listen. Although I am listening maybe a little different from the usual audiophile context. I tried not to be technical and analytical. If the systems does not obviously sound bad because of bloat, bass overhang or scream and the music draws me in, I sat it sound good.

Sayang, di mo inabutan. It is onnly around 50 miles from LA and approximately less than an hour drive kung walang trapik. It is a beautiful place too, sulit pasyalan
