My stax

My balanced audio setup

Who else is quite literally addicted to music?

Such a niche hobby of mine. I can't believe it even was here.

My IEM portable setup

Spent many hours on forums and watching reviews on YouTube, and was lucky enough to buy this setup half-off at 11.11 this year. 100% Chi-Fi 💪😅 • DAC/AMP - Cayin RU7 • IEM - Cayin YB-04 (old model, but 60% off) • 4.4mm to 2pin - Hakugei Glacier+ • USB-C - DDHiFi TC07s • Tips - Dunu S&S and… read more

Vintage Kissa, Malaysia

Visited this hidden audio cafe. Had a wide range of audio gear. From old tube amps, Vinyl records, tapes and more. They have two sides of the store. One of which is the quiet section where the best listening experience is if you're lucky the owner is there.

Red pill or Blue pill?

´´Why is it that a hifi sound system sounds perfect and after a while of use, the same hifi sound system sounds boring´´?

There are a few reasons why a high-fidelity (hi-fi) sound system may initially sound perfect, but then become "boring" over time: 1. Novelty effect: When you first experience the hi-fi system, the clarity, detail, and richness of the sound can be very impressive and exciting. This "novelty" effect… read more

Tonight's travel set

Hopefully enough for bus noises 😬

Audeze LCD MX4

These are my new flagahip pair of cans. Someone from the local audio circle begged me to get them since he was leaving for Germany and needed to dispose of his audio gears I was originally put off by the obscene pricing that includes a 3rd party balanced cables with XLR termination, but he… read more

Loving my new AirPods!

I’m a low-key audio enthusiast and have several amazing IEMs, but decided to get the AirPods Pro 2 for a flight I’m taking this summer and I gotta say I am amazed at how good these sound compared to other multi-driver earbuds. Plus, the noise cancellation is insane. Yes I got a case with flowers… read more

I can't go back to dynamics now

I own a fair few headphones, but my favorite has to be the Koss ESP/950 electrostatic earphones.

WGZBLON A-8 Prometheus 🎧

Sub 100 category. Better with boost. Aesthetically sound (no pun intended). 🖖🏽🏕️

The JBL 2500s

Such an underrated set of speakers...

I should really stop

The 10th earphone this year. BUT, I heard good things about this one, hope my amp can power it :"

Red Serratus

FINALLY HERE! Best. Just. BEST. SOUNDSTAGE wider than your mom (remember when she caused the big bang?). BASS, banging, clean and powerful mid bass with proper speed and decay, sub bass still there surprisingly and it's just the right amount, good rumble. MID FORWARD, vocals are crisp, properly… read more

Audeze LCD MX4

My flagship pair of cans. Easy to drive, can be driven by an unpretentious Sony NW-ZX300 DAP But wow it does sound a lot different when paired to quality electronics like on my Chord HugoTT and HeadAmp GSX Mk2 headphone amp and driven via balanced connections. (edited)

Mr.Speakers (AKA Dan Clark Audio) Ether Flow v.1.1

These used to be my flagship pair of cans, was an easy listen but need tons of power to sing properly. One of the reasons why I got the Headamp GSX Mk2 amp to begin with

Guess what

New toy. FiiO KA13. So two reason why I bought this; one, my ifi Go Blu got bloated battery (my fault, I know, still operational) and two, I got TGXEar Serratus coming in mid January and the bloody thing is 300ohms impedance. I. Need. Juice. Impression (compared to go blu): Slightly better… read more

Audeze LCD-5

Was testing out these nice pair of cans. Surprisingly it can be driven by a mere Sony ZX300. Probably I'll wait for someone to sell it pre-owned.

Sony WH-1000XM4

These pair of cans are the ultimate comfort and portable serenity when you are commuting or in a noiay office environment. The active noise cancelling sushes metro manila traffic. Do not wear while crossing the streets of BGC especially if you are not paying attention to your surroundings. You can… read more
