Lesson of Life: Backstabber

In this life, not only at the workplace or government that the some shitty person happens to stand in your way and pushing you away by any means necessary. There was this chaos once at the very low enemy possibility state, which is at the hobby. People who claimed that they are your friend only stood by behind their anonymity and saw me suffer from the bomb at the very thin of friend and enemy line. Only one who dared to stand by my side. Thankful to Jaja, great man.

Despite of their lack of urge and passion, I chose to let it go and keep tailoring my hobby to the next level up to this moment with those “friends” or whatsoever they claimed as. I chose to forget their taken action with any reasons beneath it. But history repeated itself and once again proving me that I’m so wrong to take such assumption. Whenever people claim as friend, than they should act like one instead of talk bad from behind. That is what I call double selfish agent.

It brought me back to my consciousness that there will be always a backstabber exist no matter where I am or what I am doing; that I shall not trust other easily, and that I should keep aware and alert all the time in order to keep me in one happy piece. Hence, I should as soon as possible put that kind of people as far as possible and eleminate them from my sight. Life is full of lesson, and this is one of it, that again and again, rip my happy mood apart.

Where am I standing?

It's been a while since the last time I said my enjoyment over the latest system configuration. It can be read here if anybody will.

The mighty Blue Heaven hasn't made it to stick around at my system, so I still use both cheap analog mustang and anonymous blue digital interconnect. I also replaced terminations of two power cords for amplifier and dvd player. Both cord is made of different materials but occupied the same plug which are WIEC320 and W5266i Cryo. It help improve the system in lot of aspects. Barely remember, because of the leap amusement they brought out. The most significant change was at the speaker. New Audio Note AX-ONE release year 2007 sit at place used to be for the modded Quad 11L1. No need to describe of this speaker capability. One time listening, already amaze. The question is why AX-ONE than AX-TWO?

Well, we all know that AX-ONE is warmer than AZ-TWO, but with a floorstander, it can be a war zone in my room hehehe...Second reason is that dunno when this AX-TWO will show up here and also dunno about the price tag. So it lead to AX-ONE which happen to be the cheapest among all Audio Note speaker yet itself already much expensive than any other brand, but guess what it all paid off. Warmer character is tuned with the rest of hardware to keep up the overall character to suit fusion, blues and rock flavour but still lovely and beautiful when sing Patricia Barber, Radka Toneff or Anne Murray and Mary Black.

What any other changes that have been made? Definitely my mood has change :)

Happy finding your tune :)
