Tangband W1-1070SE An Inch Full-range Driver On Car Audio

It is a not normal for an inch driver to become a full-range. I am skeptic about how good this full-range driver deliver the music as I wanted. In my opinion, this is a bad driver. But I am trying to be fair and judge it wisely. The price point for this driver is very affordable. Let's see how it work.

MBM Capacitor Sound Good But Measured Bad

Most of my posting in this blog is about capacitors. Let's say Wima, Nichicon and ELNA Silmic. That is my choice for best performance to price ratio for audio application caps.

Wima it self come with many size. The MKP is the best one for the audio signal. They are offering natural sound and slightly thin to the mid range frequency. Elna is also good at it. Especially the Elna Silmic, it is small size electrolytic caps which offering warm and natural sound. Both Wima and Elna Silmic caps have small size. If the capacitor placement is not an issue at all, then look no other than the paper in oil capacitor. Frankly speaking, this is the best capacitor I've ever use for the audio signal. The sound-stage is wider, the layer sound is separate nicely and the sound is smooth and natural.

Fullrange Drivers SB65 Vs. Vifa TG9 - Size Does Matters

As an audio reference, I often do a listening session with my friends in my home audio system. Most of them are shocked about how could a small full-range can produce marvelous mid-range without compromising the low and high frequency. I often told them about this Vifa TG9 is superior. I had do comparison the sound quality with the larger driver from Visaton here, and no luck for Visaton to beat this TG9 at all.

Another day, another chance to open up the battle again. This time the contender is coming from SB Acoustic 2.5 inch full-range drivers, SB65WBAC15-4 versus TG9-FSD10-04 install in the car audio system.

Ibasso DX-50 Future Proof Digital Audio Player

It is been awhile that I am not posting anything in this blog. Not because I am super busy with my daily life, or I am super lazy for even write down a word for full-filling my blog and pretending that: "this blog is still alive" But more than that, I am preparing something that could replace my reference audio source. Something that the audio player I am comfortable with and of course with the sound that I could smile every time I turn on my system.
