Beats Pill a Pleasant Surprise for Jazz

Image
Audio quality is not the first thing that comes to mind when you look at Bluetooth speakers. Let alone a single speaker. I’m not saying it will beat my Rega Elex driving floorstanders. But close your eyes and throw away any bias, and you’ll hear music. Fun, loud, and clear. The bass is quite full and tuneful. It’s primarily aimed at portability, for parties without worrying about wired connections. But I personally enjoyed it most playing Duke Ellington via Spotify. Perhaps those mono jazz recordings suit the Beats Pill’s warm and full-bodied mono sound. That was pleasant and unexpected. As a side note, I think there was a marginal improvement connecting it via USB cable to my iPhone 16 vs Bluetooth. But you can totally enjoy it with Bluetooth.  Happy New Year!

Rega Elex Mk4

All the positive reviews are true. It’s an excellent amplifier. Musical, effortless and refined. The digital input is very good, via optical link from a WiiM Pro Plus streamer. The most pleasant surprise is the phono stage. The best I’ve heard with the Nagaoka MP-110 on a Technics 1200 mk2. With a turntable, streamer, and speakers, it’s the only thing you’ll need for a really good audio system.

PSEi - MER

Image
MERALCO Sold my shares when it failed to break above the resistance trendline (which used to be support trendline). MACD was peaking and RSI was at overbought level. Multi-year resistance around PhP400 -- it can resume its upward move if it can consolidate above this level. In the meantime, this is a stock I like buying on dips (below P300) and hold for 2 years of so. High dividends can be enjoyed while holding. TAYOR YMMV DYOR (chart from investagram)
