I Get A Christmas Present, It Is The JBL GT7-6 Coaxial Speaker

A joy of Christmas is not complete without a presents. I also got one in this wonderful Christmas. I had unwrap it already, and here it is the present, JBL GT7-6 Coaxial Speakers.


The official web of JBL tells that this speakers is an ideal upgrade for OEM speakers which often comes in cheap. This GT7-6 is also an affordable upgrade. I check the price online is about US$40 to 45.

Specification wise, it is a 2 way coaxial speakers diameter 6,5 inch. That's it.



Not so much accessories we got here. Only pairs of speakers with the front grill, manual, and few screw. That's it all in the box.

I always appreciate the reputable company when do their packaging. They do it very right and securing well their product.

Double protective tape for only avoiding the scratch on the tweeter housing that no one will look at it after it is install in the door panel.



If you aware, last year, I also bought the JBL like in this post, it is much higher version than this GT7. The reason this GT7 might be more suitable for this application is because the wattage requirement is smaller and I will feed this speaker without any additional power amp.


I am using this GT7 as primary speakers of my Honda. It is sound wonderful combine with my SONY CDX CA900 head unit. Comparing to the previous speakers OEM along with Vifa tweeter setting in my car here, I can tell that this GT7 is way more headroom. I can play the music loud and clear without distortion.

I also should notice that I had bought an extra adapter for installing this speaker. This is will help to do the installation neat and tidy. I am not take a photo when doing the installation, but you know that is very basic speakers installation and the most important is the sound result:)

The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation.

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. ...

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.
