Bean me UP! A new ceramic manual coffee grinder from Germany
This is my first time supporting a Kickstart project. It is cheap, and it is funny to look at. But the selling point is the cemaric conical burr used in this little manual grinder. I ordered(supported) a few months ago, and it arrived before x'mas. I immediately tried once. The result in cup is very promising! The taste is very bold and I like it a lot. BUT, the plastic body is not doing a good job in holding the burr mechanism. It flexes. And the grind action therefore was not that smooth. Another BUT, it grinds very fast! a few turns will be enough to grind my 14grams, which is obviously faster than my Lido 2.

Sennheiser IE80 - open box and preliminary comment
I am not a in-ear earphone fan, cos I hate the feeling of pushing something into my ear, so never bought any good quality earplug phones in my life.

Larry Home Visit - 家訪gneonhk
(The latest setup of Gneonhk)
一個免費且有效益的活動「家訪」，應該多安排一點，不論主人家的系統表現如何，這可能是吸收知識的一課，也有可能是幫手的一課，但其效益總是大的。
系統新成員
近日再到 gneonhk hing 家訪，時隔大半年，屋主加入了不少新玩具，一部 Mcintosh room correction control machine、一部 PS audio 電源處理器（max output: 750W）、EAR MC4 及 Keith Monks 洗碟機；前述兩個新成員主要是針對處理家居環境處理及電噪兩項問題，回憶大半年前家訪屋主的時候，屋主對其系統的booming及電噪等問題一直眉頭深鎖，相信這兩新玩具正是要解決屋主的心結；而 EAR MC4 就是黑膠聲源（LP12）的 upgrade 部分，玩黑膠唱片的話又怎可能沒有洗碟機呢！而 Kieth Monks 絕對是此鼻袓啊！
(Lots of new toys: EAR MC4, Mcintosh Mem220 and PS Audio P3 power conditioner are the new comers)
(The LP12 is now using Denon DL103R)
解決屋主心結 - 解決booming 及電噪
玩具加入後的確對整體音效有改善，booming 及電噪已解決，屋主放下了第一顆心頭石，且新 Tannoy 再煲熟了點，rover 和我聽了3個多小時，enjoy! 期間有測試 room correction 的功能，Mcintosh 的 remote control 在使用上非常方便 (active or bypass)，active mode 的時候，整體音色被修飾得較為平衡，sound stage 比較好，但聽感就較為生硬，bypass mode 時音場擴闊無際，但不實在，兩極的份量亦多了點，但音樂感就比較自然及活生；最終在取捨之間，我們選擇了 bypass mode，原因是我們均喜歡及著重活生的音樂感。

勇救黑膠名盤
不得不提屋主的另一重頭戲，Keith Monks (KM)洗碟機，當日經屋主的兩泡一衝的洗碟程序，勇救了我兩只舊名盤，暗啞的聲音重拾生氣，且背景寧靜，效果非常明顯，KM 的毒性極好強，聽膠膠同好要小心喔！
只待東風
屋主的器材件件精心挑選，主角 Tannoy Kensington GR 不段成熟，而系統各成員亦已到位，現可謂萬事俱備，只待「東風」；以小弟的主觀看法，第一步是要加強煲練，Tannoy 與其大熟之齡仍有距離，可能要再等多一、兩年吧！煲喇叭需時，此方面屋主也急不來；繼續的我會在器材的墊材/線材上搞作一番，找一個平衡點，在當日亦做了一個簡單試驗，屋主的器材對墊材是非常敏感的，相信如對正下藥的話，預期表現會再下一城。
