NoiSing 07

All righty, it has been way too long since i last posted. So i decided that i shall post a post now while im taking a break from my studies. Crap promos are around the corner...

So anw, last Saturday i went to attend a gathering called NoiSing. It is a gathering organised by the echolof DIY community people with the main coordinator being Johari. To me it was an eye opener cause i saw LOADS of high end stuff and the most important thing of all, got to take a look at how other people build their own equipments. Here is alot of pictures for u all to see.






BIGGEST TUBE ON THE DAY AND IT IS USED AS A PREAMP. FTW!



5687 tube preamp biased using LEDs



Kenneth at the computer controlling the fully digital crossover that controls the frequency of the sound coming out from each speaker of the multiway system.

Plasma Tweeters at US$1500 a pair. There were 2 pairs there.







Power cord or snake?


Solid State room


My amp hiding in a corner

Orions

Sexyback ;)







Turntable came on and this turntable has a bamboo arm

Full rangers at $6000 a pair. U want?

















DIY 2 way Scanspeak speakers. Good bass.













Preamps using the Aikido topology



Maxonic field coil drivers

Monica 2 DAC








Cool right? Haha okay to me it was cool la. Top picks for me was the Maxonic Filed Coil horns that did not use a normal magnet but instead used a solenoid to generate the magnetic field. Quite intresting. Another intresting one would be the Ducan Plasma Tweeters. YES PLASMA! Normal tweeters have diaphragms that pushes air to produce the sound but for this, u guessed it, it uses plasma to generate the sound. It works basically on the concept of modulating an arc. And one more thing. ALL THESE STUFF ARE NOT CHEAP! For example, the plasma tweeters costs US$1500 a pair-_-. And there is this full ranger that costs $6000 a pair. OMG. ITS JUST A FULL RANGER LEH!

Of course im not a freeloader :P So i contributed in by bringing my amp there to let them play with. They didn't really play much with it la partly because my amp only produces around 2.5Watts and partly because its a Solid State amp. yes the people there prefer tubes. Got the chance to play my amp towards the end of the whole thing. Comments received was that the sound was thin but it is inherent in all solid states amplifiers.
