Hi guys, after seeing some many new toys, i thought maybe it is good way to post and how maintain and clean yur new toys.. went to adelphi with 2 of my good friends and bought the CAIG DEOXIT cleaner liquid and GOLD DEOXIT conditioner they happen to bought the same brand as mine and it works wonderful!!!! more details, body,dynamic and darker background soundsignature guys u should try this and it doesnt cost an arm and leg and a simple way to clean yur connectors and cables highly recommendable

haha well for my case it is true ldmk4 se is ahem way out of my budget during that time almost the same price as my powercords lol if u looking for an alternative, jojo and uber lc3 is not a very bad choice either hear it for yurself and decide for yurself

well if u looking for a tube amp, try the ldmk series i started with mhm, then to ldmk4 se imo it is very good budget amp and doesnt disappoint me in terms of driving my 3 crazy hard to drive cans...

well the kimber usb cable came equiped with ferrite beads hmm let me c if it is detachable or not.... nope wat a major bummer lucky it is not through my dac or other audio equipment but seriously it is has more tighter bass and wider soundstage than any standard usb cable and faster soundsignature when i watching video clip or listen to my audio files from external harddrive it shook me.... no more that click sound or 2 sec delay i have encounter.... smooth,nice controlled bass, vivid pictures,and faster performance....hmmm i think i loving it every moment and wat i heard from the retailers they need to burn in for 100 hours to maximize the performance.....lol dunno true or not....

if u getting a benchmark and using a usb to pc as source if i may recommend, get a usb kimber cable for maximum performance

if u wan to get akg, get the akg 701 2nd hand and recable it u will notice the improvements straight away....

for akgs pair with b22? imo, it has bass that akg lacks off and it is more musical and the high sibliances which akgs weakness is totally gone.....using single ended onli havent tried with xlr yet.... it colors the akgs to certain extend and making highs very tamed and has yet subtle bass and deep bass... a great combination with akgs or slightly dark soundsignature cans..... try to listen Gosh Jorban vocals with it and akg 701, u will be suprised that Jorban come to u and actually pull u into his world.....

hehe well glad u now r one of believers... powercords affect the bass and highs and soundsignature in many mystery ways.... keep experiment and finding with the correct match with it and pairing with certain headcans... now i think u should have an idea on which dac u r looking for...

guys some teasers for newly senheisser flagship hd800 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckm6fdAs7Zw&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHF269ztWuE&feature=related

wah yur new hd650.... pair extremely well with novo and hmm i saw yur valgrind cables.......u must be in audio heaven rite now.....

u dun wan to know wat i have done to yur precious akg 701.... hehe but i promise u that reborn akg 701 will shock and impress u more.....than yur old lover..... a complete reborn akg 701 will overcome their weakness the high sibliance and with deep bass and much more easy to drive........ just wait patiently my friend...

wow i been away for a week and another meet has been organized....hehe well i will probably bring my xindak dac-5, my new OCC coaxial cable, i still need a cdp or a source with coaxial output (if any1 would kindly provide for the meet) and my ldmk4 se with upgraded tubes G.Elect... 2 cans of my favourite cans....another can being well .... my akg under recabling and modding process hopefully i can get it next month ready ....... and not forgeting my 1000 hours burn in jellyfish......

benchmark i found it to be cold and analytical lacks the (pull) and atmosphere to draw u in listening mood ( not warm ) like listening to studio recording there itself without any coloration ( very very neutral) lavry on the other hand pull u in like the high flagship darkvoice 337 amp warm,rich and laidback and fast and analytical at the same time the force is there hehe basically benchmark is really neutral dac while lavry colors the music a bit.... and i tested with orchestral classic music like violin concertos by Alban Berg and Igor Stravins the strings omg i love them they actually produced like so surreal in the orchestral...... both of them is very good in fact but i will choose lavry dac11 over it if i have budget for it..... well xindak dac 5 i need to get telefunken tubes and let me c the performance is as good as the lavry itself..... wah funky looking b22 too bad he wont ship internationally unless u would be kind enuff to go U.s and grab for me ler hahaha

well in terms of transparency and 3d layering it is the best that i heard yet even better than my hybrid xindak 5 and the same performance as lavry dac10 but musically it lose to xindak 5 tube dac and lavry dac10.....lacks the warmness and richness.... a very high end dac b22? he ordered from Nammaff himself.....so 2 basically same B22 i heard but different casing

thanks for info bro now to find the sources for the tubes itself......

my dac balanced is male so u need a female xlr for it hmm just check my dac tube model.....6922EH (Electro Harmonic) JJ E88CC hehe i am now looking for mullards or telefunken for it aledi......since it is the same models..... sure be a real killer performance if i use the nos tubes for it.... wondered how it will go with my 3 cans

well that the problem if i planning to go for balanced..... anyway i am interested in trying yur new tubes i wondering wat performances it will gives if i swap tube with my dac 5 i need to get myself a telefunken for it i will give u a call if i coming this week going back to kl and mostly be back on next wed or thurs latest... another shot of infamous B22 my friend's though!! with benchmark dac1......

no way ! i not selling my jellyfish away much time and passion spend on it and now it's tuned to my liking aledi it' like tubeman said caps is like each and others personal soundsignature caps.. it's tuned to my own soundsignature and i not selling it away after those burning in and feeding it with various music....

well that cos u got a chief finance at yur side........ if u r not married...well i highly doubt u will get yur hands on everything...... lol i am not easily poisoned .....hehe like Stanley, i have immunity to certain all High End Audio i am sticking to dynamic cans for now .....unless well hd800 is out and if wat they claimed is better than Omegas and Sony r10 .....

peanut how bout this ? when i m back from my cousin wedding in kl, i will gladly let u audit my xindak dac5 bring along yur xlr amp as well as yur stax......u will not regret it...... as well with xlr cables if u have

thanks to Jig and Cal for letting and inviting us to try Peanut i will need to try out yur Lambdas......with my reference cds lol

or a dac.... arent we all poisonous.........

well i need to ask the sifu to modified the jellyfish to xlr inputs or take the caps out and install directly into B22 i not gonna waste my jellyfish for no reason and now is about 800 hours burn in.... argggg headache again

Well this year has been an exciting year for me got to test and audit some of the best amps and electrostatic cans doesnt fall short in my list as well but enough talking, more pics!!!! saw all the happy and grinning faces? lol

lol my dac is tempting me for xlr input....... and i am very curious bout the performance..... since both ss and tube output didnt dissappoint me i am sure that xlr will make my cans like archangels or goddess watching on me.......
