Out Of Audio Topic - SEIKO SNZG15K1 A Good Affordable Watch

I have a 10 years old Seiko 5 watch which I like it very much. It is very durable watch I've ever wear. I don't even think to buy the new one until one day, I am unexpectedly jump into online forum that discuss about the Seiko watches. I'm really got into it and it is a very good affordable watch that I cannot resist to have one.

The Seiko watched have so many model. You can get from the affordable to the most expensive watch like the Grand Seiko. Despite the title 'affordable', actually all Seiko watched are very good in term of durability and quality. Later on, I put my choice to this Seiko SNZG15K1 model. The delivery arrived this morning. This Seiko is the Seiko 5 line up model. It is an automatic watch with day and date display as the main feature. It is all stainless steel case with smoke finished. This model has black color nylon strap and I think will be very suitable for my daily activity.

I bought it at the local online store for about US$99.

It is comes with a manual book and a plastic box covered by the white carton. The manual book has the guarantee card inside and the blue plastic box is unfortunately feel cheap.

Inside the box, I found the watch itself covered by foam and clear plastic bag, separate from the cushion. I believe this is for safety reason on the delivery process.

The watch itself is very nice. It is far better from what I see in the product catalog. The build quality is very good and the strap is thick.

At the back case you can see the movement through the glass. It is become very attractive when I can see how my watch is working inside.

At this price point, I should recommend this watch to everyone. It is an affordable, comfortable and very nice automatic watch.

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

PCM56 R2R Non Oversampling DAC Built

From early this year, I am start to playing a lot with the multibit DAC. They are from Sony CDP TDA1541A here , Nakamichi DAC-101 dual TDA1541S1 here , Clarion DRX-9255EXL PCM1702 here  and Clarion HX-D1 PCM1704 here . What I said playing with them is actually more suitable words because none of them are built by myself. I only study and exploring those unit then make some upgrade especially on the power supply components, signal capacitors upgrade, and bypassing the unused internal circuit for more clearer yet natural sound quality. This upgrade make a lot improvement compare to the first time I listen from it and I can really enjoy what the designer from each manufacture deliver the sound they would like to perform in those units. Those said units are categorized as a parts of hi-end audio system and I really now familiar with the sound signature from each of them. But to be honest, I am not satisfy yet with this condition. Because none of them is built by myself from ground up. ...
