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!

Visit Instagram for FAQs and a listing of this year's exhibitors!

Past show pictures are on Facebook and videos on YouTube 

An invitation from the organizer...

I was there between 2008-2016 and always had a great time! 😊

🍻 ENJOY!🍻

Japanese Idler-Driven Turntable FINALE: NEAT P58 + FAQs

This is the final installment of my Japanese idler turntable adventure but as Sean Connery said, "Never say never again..." 😉

Thrifted Hi-Fi

Last time, the Altec 753Cs were driven by my Resto-mod Magnavox 8601 amp. In the spirit of my Vintage Japanese Drivers page from my old website, the same amp will now be used in the context of audio components and speakers I found in flea markets, thrift stores and yard sales + some DIY added to the mix.
