The Seller Hi-fi Audio System

When I judge one audio system, I should know exactly what is the good parameter is. I can say one system is better than another because the music presentation is meet my preference in the audio system. This preference is the benchmark and for this reason, I should visit many audio show to hear what the brands want you to listen as they intended in their audio system. But this audio show doesn't come everyday, so I need another place that I can regularly visit.

Luckily one of my seller provide a whole audio system to be played to the customer. This is what I want to show in this post.


If you living in the same country as I do, you should familiar with the shop in this photo. The seller is very kind enough to demonstrating his audio system, yet having a warm discussion about audio.

The components in his audio system are changes frequently. The last time I came here is so much different with my today visit. By looking this photo, I am pretty sure every customers will relax and enjoying their time in the shop like this.

The music playing right now is Diana Krall. The source is the Audio Note CDT Zero CD player.


Another CD player on the bottom of the Audio Note is the China made CD Player. This good looking CD player made by aluminum casing with top loader CD mechanism.


One thing that take my attention is this vacuum tube amplifier and pre-amplifier. One amplifier for each channel. This glowing vacuum tube amplifier sound wonderful.


The speaker that are playing right now is this Rogers LS-15 (if I am not mistaken). It is placed on top the vintage Tannoy speakers. Although this speaker size is small but the sound is wide open and clear. The warm of the vocal is outstanding with this speaker.




I return to this vacuum tube amplifier again and take another photo. This large vacuum tube is glowing bright and very attractive.



There is also another vacuum tube amplifier made by the seller. This amplifier is played quite often in this shop.




This is another photo to compares when I came to this shop few weeks ago. Very much different with today audio system. That is why sometimes when I want to buy some audio components here, I keep wondering what audio system is playing right now in this shop.

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. ...
