Today, 1st of September 2012, located on ACA Matraman, Indonesia High End Audio Club (IHEAC) hold a Solid State Amplifier Blind Test session. So here is the audience and (some) also the contenders. Actually solid state amplifier is kind of boring session which most of the contenders will have a similar steel chassis with huge heatsink with no such glowing light as usually found in tube amplifier. But anyway, the show must go on and here is some pictures from the show.

Indonesia High End Audio Club (IHEAC) arranges a ‘grand prix’ to encourage DIY community to build and show their best product. There will be several blind test and each session will have 3 winners with different points rewarded. At the end of the year, the highest point accumulated shall be the first winner, etc (just like F1 race which will have the winner at the end of season).

The first session was DAC, which quite interesting as not much DIY touched this part. Probably because it’s not too easy to play with digital circuit.

Not too much photos in this session as most of the contenders are similar (silver or black boring box, without any interesting part to be shown).

Below wass the main stage. We could see Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand as main speaker.

Indonesia High End Audio Club or in short, IHEAC, held an blind test (or maybe I would prefer to call them as blind scoring) for tube pre-amp. The session was  started on the afternoon, around 11am. Some equipment used shown below.

We can see some stuff like Quadral Platinum M4 speaker, Consonance Droplet CD Player, Air Tight Reference Pre-Amp ATC-3, and KT88 tube amplifier (I believe in Push Pull configuration).
