for those who are more music-inclined, i have started my music blog for my label, musictoxin. musictoxin's blog will talk about music that appeals to us, music with substance and quality. it will also chronicle the making of all future 2v1g and jz8 albums, and other acts under the musictoxin stable. click here.

however, i will still feature audiophile album reviews in this blog.

happy new year to everyone! may 2009 be the year where your hifi sings like a nightingale and each and every of your hifi upgrade plan approved by your other half!

i personally am very excited about 2009, despite the gloomy economy. beside the establishment of our own recording studio, we will be releasing a couple of albums and our own magazine. on the hifi front, i wll be upgrading my cdp and maybe my preamp.... it is going to be another blast of a year for us!
