Happy holidays!

I’m so happy to receive my Christmas gift, SAMSUNG T260HD. This is an amazing computer monitor first. Then, it is a TV as a bonus.

Contrast Ratio DC 10000:1(1000:1)

  • Screen Size: 25.5″
  • Pixel Pitch:  0.287mm
  • Resolution:  1920 x 1200 (This is a HD plus, better than regular 1080p)
  • Brightness:  300 cd/m2
  • Contrast Ratio:  DC 10000:1(1000:1)
  • Response Time:  5ms (Fast enough to avoid any ghost shadow)
  • Connectors:    D-Sub, DVI, HDMI (There are 2 HDMI input ports)
  • Built-in Analog & Digital TV Tuner (ATSC/QAM) with remote control

But soon, I start to panic right after I replace my Acer 22″ LCD monitor. My table is too small:)

I receive a surprise gift on 2010 new year’s day. It’s “Maracaípe“, two young Chinese guitarists Meng Su & Yameng Wang’s most recent CD. It’s produced by Tonar Music, guitarist Manuel Barrueco’s studio.

The performance in this CD is simply amazing. I personally like their solos more than their duets. Don’t need to say anything. Just get one listen by your won ears. Please read more introduction from GFA’s website.

Right: Angelo

Microphone: Sony ECM-MS907 + Sony MD, MZ-RH910

  • The microphone is placed at the 3rd row to the last of the recital hall. I put it on the steps in the middle of the hall. So the song source is NOT from the microphone we all see in this video. It’s a lot further this that one.
  • No sound effects is added to this video.
  • Sony ECM-MS907 is power by one AA battery.
  • Sony MD, MZ-RH910 is power by one AA battery.


I attach the sound track from my Sony MD for you reference.
