THE ORRONOCO AUDIO DIY

Yesterday, I had a chance to cleaning up my Sony Playstation SCPH-1002. As you know this PS1 already become my reference CD Player since around 6 years ago and today I open it up again just to checking and make some adjustment, especially on the switch mode power supply.

It is hard to be true that a short length power cord between amplifier to wall socket could make a significant difference in audio. Honestly I never believe that until I did the test from cheap power cord compare to the DIY Furutech - Belden power cord from my friend. It really sound different! The price for making it is reach US$ 200! Hmn... expensive. Let me show you the comparable power cord, yet affordable and cheap. Take a look!

Perhaps the great life formula for me is simple. I love to listen great music with the best audio equipment possible. Especially when they are build by myself, It is become my self satisfaction to listening from it. I am working quite hard to save some money for this hobbies, which is DIY audio is never be cheaper than buying branded audio gear. And for some reason, I love to have a routine gateway. Not often and never should be fancy, but at least it can refreshing myself with a new places, great food, and some local live music or perhaps the music that I can carried while traveling.

Flashing back to my teenage era, I have built many audio project. Many of them are only for the experimental purpose. But there is one project that stays quite long on my listening room and I could say this speakers is the most successful project I've ever built. I still have it right now and if I am not mistaken, the last service of those speakers are about 8 years ago. It is still a beautiful speakers and working like charm until today:)

This F5 amplifier is using for my daily amplifier yet also as my reference. I am really enjoying the music from this the F5 amplifier. They are pure, dynamic and detail. So I guess no others amplifier on my DIY journey can make the sound as good like this. Seriously, I only have several amplifier that blown my mind, one of them is Elector Mini-Crescendo back on 90's. I often play the bias and the difference between low bias and high bias are day and night. But for this F5 amplifier, how much differences for the low and high bias? Is it acceptable or trash? Let's find out.
