November Hi-Fi Show 2025

 

To my Manila-based readers - it's that time of the year again!

Lots of LP/CD vendors and an abundance of rooms filled with turntables, digital players/streamers, DACs, solid-state and vacuum tube amps, speakers + a special section for DIYers. 

As always, entrance is FREE! 

Mark your calendars!

SETUP 2024

Single Ended Triode Users of the Philippines 2024

At the dawn of the 21st century, I uploaded hifi systems owned by audio buddies who had been inspired by the Sound Practices ethos. These were the guys who originally coined SETUP. After a couple of decades, the number of Filipinos who indulge in this hobby has increased exponentially.

Here's what I saw and heard during my recent visit.😊
